Description

Abstract
Background. The completion of routine immunization for toddlers is an important indicator of both child health and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, immunization coverage in various regions remains suboptimal. Challenges remain in many regions, particularly related to family involvement and awareness among mothers as primary caregivers. Data from 2025 shows that only four provinces achieved the target of ≥90% complete immunization coverage1, while East Java recorded measles immunization coverage of 68.66%. This low coverage contributes to measles and rubella outbreaks in 31 provinces2.
The My Village My Home approach offers a community-based strategy that emphasizes maternal empowerment through simple recording, participatory monitoring, and social support from cadres and the community. The objective of this study was to map scientific evidence on the effectiveness of maternal empowerment through My Village My Home in increasing the achievement of complete routine immunization of toddlers. Method. This study used a scoping review design with the Arksey & O'Malley framework, which includes identifying research questions, literature searches, study selection, data charting, and thematic synthesis. Data sources were literature from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and national portals using the keywords "My Village My Home", "maternal empowerment", "community-based intervention", and "child immunization". Inclusion criteria were articles published between 2010 and 2025, written in English or Indonesian, and accessible in full. While exclusion criteria were not relevant to the topic and original research. Using the PRISMA flow, of the total 312 articles found, there were 9 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result. The study found that empowering mothers through My Village My Home contributed to improved knowledge, record-keeping skills, and adherence to immunization schedules. Community support and the involvement of health cadres strengthened mothers' motivation, accelerating the achievement of immunization targets at the village/subdistrict level.Conclusion and Suggestion. This scoping review confirms that My Village My Home is an effective strategy for empowering mothers to increase routine immunization coverage for toddlers. This approach not only strengthens the role of families but also builds synergy between communities and health workers in supporting child health.
