Abstract

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in Indonesian children under five increased sharply in 2022. To determine maternal knowledge about AKI in children. A descriptive analytical design was conducted with 400 mothers selected through purposive sampling using an online questionnaire; data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods. Most respondents had one toddler (82.5%), were vocational-level graduates (72.5%), and housewives (75.7%). A total of 97.7% expressed anxiety about AKI, while 70.8% had low knowledge of its causes, symptoms, complications, and prevention. Knowledge was significantly associated with age, education, employment status, and anxiety (p=0.000). Maternal knowledge about AKI in children remains inadequate. Nurses need to provide more intensive and targeted education to increase mothers' awareness and ability to handle AKI in children
