Abstract
This study aimed to determine the relationship between mothers' knowledge and attitudes and the completeness of basic immunization among children in Batu Napal Village, Sultan Daulat District, Subulussalam City, in 2026. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. A total of 62 respondents were selected using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most respondents had moderate knowledge (46.8%), positive attitudes (51.6%), and incomplete basic immunization status (98.4%). The bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between mothers' knowledge and attitudes and the completeness of basic immunization (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that mothers' knowledge and attitudes are associated with the completeness of basic immunization among children. Therefore, health education and counseling should be strengthened to improve immunization coverage
