Factores relacionados al incumplimiento del esquema de vacunación en niños menores de un año en el Centro de Salud Puerta Negra del cantón Babahoyo en el periodo junio - septiembre 2024.

Objective: To determine the factors associated with noncompliance with the vaccination schedule in children under one year of age at the puerta negra health center in Babahoyo canton between June and September 2024. Materials and methods: A study with a mixed, non-experimental, field, descriptive, cross-sectional study of children under one year of age between June and September 2024 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as the nursing staff of the operating unit, in order to collect information on the role of nurses in this problem. Results: A sample of 80 children under one year of age revealed that the majority (43%) were between 3 and 4 months old, predominantly boys (60%). Parents were the main caregivers (84%), and most of the participants are students (45%) or housewives (31%). Most use public transport (49%) and take between 30 and 60 minutes to reach health centers, with low monthly incomes, between US$100 and US$200 (46%). The search for vaccination information is mainly done through the nursing staff (48%) and the Internet (33%). 59% respondents know that vaccines prevent disease. The main reasons for not vaccinating were forgetting the date (26%) and the child's illness (23%). The role of nursing was crucial, with 67% recording vaccinations in the comprehensive booklet, but only 33% consistently doing so in the PRAS system. In addition, 50% made regular home visits, although telephone follow-up was sporadic (83%). Despite these limitations, 83% inform caregivers about post-vaccination effects. Conclusions: Respondents are mostly young people with considerable educational burden, which may affect their access to health information and services. The analysis reveals that, although health professionals are well trained and committed, there are areas that could be improved, such as parental education on the purpose of vaccinations and implementation of reminder systems. These improvements could contribute to greater adherence to the vaccination schedule.
