    (2023-07-14) GHINA WAFA; Lulu Eva Rakhmilla; Ahmedz Widiasta
    The outbreak of Atypical Progressive Acute Kidney Injury (APAKI) in children due to the contamination of syrup medication in Indonesia poses health risks. Failure to identify the condition can lead to serious health complications, even causing high mortality rate in children. The study aims to learn the knowledge level and attitude responses of parents. A cross-sectional study using questionnaire was conducted in sub-urban and urban regions of West Java. Of 344 participants that were included, 182 (52.9%) were classified as sub-urban and 162 (47.1%) as urban. The level of knowledge was measured using 6 domains, while the attitude response uses 2 domains. The mean of each knowledge domain varies, lowest in complication domain (35.75) and highest in the management domain (64.17) showing moderate to poor level of knowledge in both groups. A positive response towards APAKI was found with a mean of 79.59 and 80.84, respectively, in both domains. In conclusion, knowledge of parents is moderate to poor in the sub-urban and urban group, and a positive attitude is found in the parents’ response. The findings may have significant implications for targeted policy as preventative measures for parents whose children may be particularly at risk of APAKI in the future.
