FACTORS INFLUENCING TRIPLE ELIMINATION SCREENING (HIV/AIDS, SYPHILIS AND HEPATITIS B) AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

The Elimination of Transmission implementation program has a target of >70% of pregnant women being screened by 2020-2021. Triple elimination is a program that aims to achieve and maintain mother-to-infant elimination from HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis. The impact of pregnant women not performing triple elimination screening is an increase in maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, where the risk of transmission from mother to child in HIV/AIDS is 20%-45%, for syphilis is 69-80%, and for Hepatitis B is more than 90%. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence the Triple Elimination Screening examination (HIV/AIDS Syphilis and Hepatitis B) in pregnant women in the Working Area of UPT Puskesmas Kasui, Way Kanan. This type of research is quantitative. This research uses an analytical survey method with a case control approach. This research was conducted at the Kasui Health Center in March-April 2021. The sample in this study were 88 mothers based on registration records. The sampling technique in this study used total sampling. The data analysis used used the chi square test. The results of the analysis showed that the factors associated with Triple Elimination Screening were age with a p-value of 0.032, education with a p-value of 0.010 and work with a p-value of 0.019 (<0.05). It is expected that with this study the Puskesmas can provide motivation to pregnant women to carry out triple elimination screening (HIV/AIDS Syphilis and Hepatitis B) by conducting socialization related to triple elimination screening.
