Abstract

Rubella infection is a dangerous infectious disease that mostly affects pregnant women. This infection causes children born with some disabilities called congenital rubella syndrome which is visual impairment, deafness, calcification of the brain, and heart trouble. Treatment for this syndrome is quite expensive. This study therefore aims to identify the level of awareness in the community about this disease. This research furthermore is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 100 families in Palembang and the selection is made using a random sampling method. The selected clusters were Srijaya, Demang Lebar Daun, Bukit Lama, Talang Kelapa, Siring Agung, Sukabangun, and Kebun Bunga. The result was analyzed using descriptive analysis and around 41% of mothers don’t know this condition. They indicate that average mother in Palembang knows about rubella only in children and does not understand the fatal impact of rubella when exposed to pregnant women. Around 77% of families are aware of the condition. Health interventions and promotion awareness about rubella in pregnant women should be done as this will help in habilitation difficulties and cost, decreased human resource quality, and low acceptance in society.
