Abstract

The morbidity rate of acute upper respiratory infection (ARI) in children under five is still relatively high in Indonesia. Many factors are thought to influence this incident. The present study analyzed the characteristics of mothers as predictors of the incidence of acute upper respiratory infection in children under 5 years old in Indonesia. Data from Indonesia Basic Health Research 2018 using a multistage systematic random sampling method. A total of 72,954 children aged 0–59 months and their mothers were examined. The incidence of acute upper respiratory infection is based on the results of the diagnosis from health workers and the symptoms experienced by the child during the last 1 month before the survey was conducted. Maternal characteristics include age, education, common mental disorders experienced, and depression. Area of residence and socioeconomic status were also analyzed. Analysis used logistic regression. Maternal mental health is a predictor of acute upper respiratory infection in children under five. Children of mothers with common mental disorders have a risk of 1.78 times higher than children of mothers without common mental disorders (95% CI: 1.543–2.059). Meanwhile, children with mothers with depression had a 1.78 higher risk than children with mothers without depression before being adjusted with other variables (95% CI: 1.544–2.051). Children under five with mothers who did not go to school or did not finish elementary school had a 1.53 times higher risk of experiencing acute upper respiratory infection than children with mothers with a diploma and above (95% CI: 1.163–2.013). Maternal education, maternal common mental disorder, and child age are predictors of the incidence of acute upper respiratory infection in children under 5 years old in Indonesia.
