However, child health services, including immunization and moni�toring of child development during COVID-19 pandemic have been interrupted. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with toddler visits to integrated service posts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Nganjuk, East Java, from May to July 2021. A sample of 150 children under five was selected by random sampling. The dependent variable was the frequency of visits to integrated health posts. The inde�pendent variables were education level, family support, and the role of cadres. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using multiple logistic regression.
Results: High education (OR= 1.27; 95% CI = 1.23 to 10.25; p= 0.019), supportive family (OR= 2.58; 95% CI = 3.80 to 46.15; p<0.001), and strong role of cadres (OR= 3.74; 95% CI= 12.54 to 141.05; p <0.001) increased frequency visit to children integrated health post.
