Background Pregnancy; It is an important process that directly affects the mother and the fetus, where women benefit more from health services and the need for health-related decision-making and information increases. It is very important to determine and improve the health literacy level of these women. The study determined the relationship between vaccine hesitancy and health literacy in pregnant women. Methods It is a cross-sectional type of research. The research was carried out in a state hospital. The online form was sent to 230 pregnant women. Ethics committee, institution and scale permissions were obtained for the study. The data of the study were collected online by using the questionnaire prepared by scanning the literature, the Anti-Vaccination Scale and the Health Literacy Scale. Statistical analyzes of the data were performed using the SPSS version 25 program. Results The Vaccine Hesitancy Scale score of the pregnant women was 55.53 ± 10.15, whereas their Health Literacy Scale score was 98.57 ± 21.48. Health literacy was associated with the sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of the pregnant women. Educational status, economic status, place of residence, and family structure were associated with vaccine hesitancy. Conclusions It was determined that there was a negative correlation between the anti-vaccination scale scores of the pregnant women and the health literacy scale scores. As a result, it was determined that the anti-vaccination level of the pregnant women was moderate and the health literacy level was sufficient. It can be recommended to provide appropriate trainings and counseling to target groups, which will increase the health literacy level of pregnant women.

“…This finding is supported by previous studies conducted by Lau et al (2021) in Malaysia and Harapan et al (2020) in Indonesia, where most of their respondents were willing to accept a free COVID-19 vaccine provided by the government. In Indonesia there is active ramping for COVID-19 vaccination efforts to achieve herd immunity as the global campaign against the mutating virus persists (Theresia, & Reñosa, 2023). In addition, although the Malaysian government has not made COVID-19 vaccination mandatory, the government stipulates that unvaccinated individuals will lose out on privileges, including not being allowed to enter shopping malls, dine in restaurants, or enter a building for religious services, which further strengthens the acceptance of this vaccine (Dasgupta, 2022;Wong et al, 2022).…”

Background:The global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly affected how people view the world and their daily routines. In response, the scientific community, with government support, has been actively working on developing a safe and effective vaccine as a preventive measure. To ensure adequate vaccination coverage, it is crucial to identify, comprehend, and tackle issues related to vaccine acceptance and hesitancy. Properly addressing these factors is a vital step in planning effective actions for successful vaccination efforts. Methods: In Kelantan, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate COVID-19 vaccination acceptance and its related factors among the general adult population. The study included 610 participants who completed an online, self-administered questionnaire adapted from previous research. The collected data were then analyzed using IBM Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 26. Results: Almost all the respondents (99.0%) had been vaccinated, while only 1.0% were hesitant or refused. The majority of the respondents believed in the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine (86.1%); however, they still had concerns about the vaccine, such as doubts about its safety (51.6%), effectiveness (50.7%), and fear of adverse effects (61.1%). Most of the respondents (89.0%) had confidence in the vaccines that were being developed and found that the data on vaccine safety was adequate (88.9%). Meanwhile, 64.7% of them perceived a moderate to high risk of being infected with COVID-19, and 57.2% also perceived a moderate to high risk of developing severe disease following COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: The study found a high level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among the community in Kelantan. Overall, most of the community exhibited positive attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine, health authorities, and the government. However, a small minority still held doubts, concerns, and distrust regarding the vaccine.

“…Various studies have been conducted to obtain effective media in disaster education, some of them are Tabletop Disaster Education (TDE) and educational film (Sholihah, & Rahayu, 2020). The biggest challenge experienced by Indonesia at this moment is delivering COVID-19 vaccination during the event of natural disasters that continue to occur during 2020-2021 pandemic (Theresia, & Reñosa, 2023). Coping strategy according to Le et al, (2021) is a process of adjustment to unpleasant events.…”

Introduction: Indonesia is susceptible to disaster. The disaster triggers all aspects of humanity, such as psychology and physical well-being. Resilience is critical to help the community facing the impact of the disaster, especially mothers as the core of the family. So, we need to improve mothers’ resilience when facing the impact of flood disasters. Methods: This research method used explanatory research with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this research were 121 mothers who lived in a village based on a calculation by the Rule of Thumb. Data analysis used SEM-PLS. Results: Most of the respondents had good knowledge, which was 106 mothers (87.6%). Most of the respondents had very high filial values in the care indicator (71%) and in the respect (50.4%). About 49 mothers (40.5%) had low resilience and 90 mothers (74.4%) had moderate family appraisal scores. Among some of the respondents, 81 (66.4%) had moderate family resilience scores, 56 mothers (46.32%) had an adequate coping strategy. There were 36.4% who stated that reinforcement, facilities, and support from health workers were good. It is known that most family types (64) were nuclear families (52.9%), most mothers had 1-2 children (77.7%), and lived in a house with one household (55.4%). Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that family appraisals and filial value can affect the level of resilience of mothers in overcoming the impact of flood disasters.
