Abstract: Saliva is a complex fluid composed of a mixture of major and minor salivary glands in the oral cavity. The role of saliva is as a protective base between the lining of the oral cavity and toxins. Smoking can affect the physiological function of saliva because smoking destroys molecules in saliva that are useful in protecting the oral cavity, therefore, lack of sensitivity and changes in the sense receptor of taste occur. Saliva acidity setting includes protein, bicarbonate, and phosphate systems. This study was aimed to determine the salivary pH of the habitual smokers among the laborers at Bitung Port. This was an observational descriptive study using a cross sectional design. Respondents were 30 laborers (males and females) who were habitual smokers, aged 18-45 years old obtained by using purposive sampling technique. The results showed that 13 respondents (43.3%) had normal salivary pH (pH 6.4-7) and 17 respondents (56.7%) had basic salivary pH (pH >7). The average pH of all respondents was 7.18. Conclusion: Laborers who were habitual smokers at Bitung port had normal or basic salivary pH.Keywords: salivary pH, laborers, habitual smokers Abstrak: Saliva merupakan cairan mulut yang kompleks terdiri dari campuran sekresi kelenjar saliva mayor dan minor di dalam rongga mulut dan berperan sebagai pelindung basa antara lapisan mulut dan toksin. Saliva memiliki kemampuan dalam pengaturan derajat keasaman yang berperan penting dalam menjaga nilai pH di lingkungan mulut seseorang. Merokok dapat memengaruhi fisiologi saliva karena merokok dapat menghancurkan molekul dalam saliva yang berguna dalam melindungi rongga mulut sehingga akan menyebabkan kurangnya sensitivitas dan perubahan reseptor dari indra perasa. Pengaturan keasaman saliva meliputi sistem protein, bikarbonat, dan fosfat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pH saliva pada buruh perokok di pelabuhan Bitung. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif observasional dengan menggunakan desain potong lintang. Subjek penelitian ini ialah buruh perokok di pelabuhan Bitung dengan jenis kelamin laki-laki dan perempuan berusia 18-45 tahun. Terdapat 30 responden yang diperoleh dengan mengunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa 13 responden (43,3%) dengan pH saliva normal (pH berkisar 6,4-7), dan 17 responden (56,7%) dengan pH basa (pH >7). Nilai rerata pH responden sebesar 7,18. Simpulan: Buruh perokok di pelabuhan Bitung memiliki pH saliva normal atau basa.Kata kunci: pH saliva, buruh, perokok

Imunisasi merupakan upaya mengurangi morbiditas dan mortalitas anak, namun masih banyak anak yang belum menerima imunisasi. Angka kematian balita di dunia yang disebabkan oleh penyakit yang bisa dicegah dengan imunisasi (PD3I) mencapai 1,4 juta orang per tahun. Dikhawatirkan PD3I ini dapat menyebar dengan mudah dari anak yang terinfeksi ke anak yang tidak diimunisasi atau tidak memiliki kekebalan terhadap penyakit tersebut. Hal ini berisiko meningkatkan angka mortalitas anak Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kepatuhan orang tua, terutama ibu, dalam memberikan imunisasi dasar lengkap kepada bayi. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif non eksperimental dengan desain cross sectional. Responden sebanyak 100 orang ibu yang diambil menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Pengambilan data dilakukan di Kelurahan Meteseh menggunakan kuesioner yang sudah valid dan reliabel. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil: Analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa usia, pekerjaan, jumlah paritas, agama , dan pengetahuan ibu tentang Kejadian Ikutan Pasca Imunisasi (KIPI) tidak berhubungan dengan kepatuhan orang tua dalam memberikan imunisasi dasar lengkap pada bayi (p>0,05). Diskusi: Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa kematangan usia ibu tidak selalu berhubungan dengan kepatuhannya dalam memberikan imunisasi dasar. Kepatuhan ini juga tidak berhubungan dengan oleh kesibukan ibu dalam bekerja maupun mengurus anak serta pengalamannya menjadi seorang ibu. Adanya keyakinan pada agama tertentu mengenai imunisasi, serta pengetahuan yang dimiliki ibu mengenai KIPI juga terbukti tidak berhubungan  dengan kepatuhan ibu dalam memberikan imunisasi. Kesimpulan: Faktor demografi ibu tidak senantiasa berhubungan dengan kepatuhannya dalam memberikan imunisasi dasar lengkap pada bayi, namun imunisasi ini tetap perlu diberikan sebagai upaya mengurangi risiko bayi tertular PD3I.    Kata Kunci: ibu, imunisasi, kepatuhan Factors Correlated with Parental Adherence in Providing Complete Basic Immunization  ABSTRACTImmunization is an effort to reduce child morbidity and mortality, but many children still have not received immunizations. The mortality rate for children under five in the world caused by immunization-preventable diseases reaches 1.4 million people per year. It is feared that the immunization-preventable diseases can spread easily from infected children to non-immunized children or have no immunity to the disease. This has the risk of increasing child mortality. Objective: This research aims to reveal the factors related to parents' adherence, especially mothers, in providing complete basic immunization to infants. Methods: This research is a non-experimental quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Respondents were 100 mothers who were taken using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected in Meteseh Village using a valid and reliable questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: Bivariate analysis indicated that mother's age, occupation, parity, religion, and knowledge of Adverse event following immunization (AEFI) were not correlated with parental compliance in providing complete basic immunization to infants (p>0.05). Discussion: This research proves that mother’s age is not always correlated with adherence to basic immunization. This adherence is also not correlated with the mother's activities in working or taking care of children and her experience of being a mother. Certain religious beliefs regarding immunization and mother’s knowledge about AEFI are also proven not to be correlated with maternal adherence to giving immunizations. Conclusion: Maternal demographic factors are not always correlated with adherence to providing complete basic immunization to infants, but the immunization still needs to be given to reduce the risk of infants contracting immunization-preventable diseases.Keywords: mother, immunization, adherence
