Abstract

The study utilized the non-experimental descriptive type of research. A total of 100 mothers with children undergoing immunization from June to August 2009 served as respondents of this study. They were the mothers availing immunization for their children in Plaridel, Malagasang and Bucandala II Brgy. Health Centers in Imus I, Cavite. The researchers conducted the study in these barangay health centers because most of the DLSHSI student nurses are having their community duty in these areas. Accidental sampling was employed. The research instrument used is a 20-minute questionnaire adapted and modified by the researchers from the tool used by Artista and Obguia (2001). Data was analyzed through percentage, mean, t-test, f-test and standard deviation.
