THE EFFECT OF KANGAROO CARE METHOD ON THE CHANGE OF BODY TEMPERATURE IN LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS (LBWI)   Bety Maya Sari1, Dian Fitra Arismawati2, Riska Aprilia Wardani3 Correspondence email : Mayasari.bety@gmail.com   Dian Husada Institute of Health Science Mojokerto   ABSTRACT   Introduction: Low Birth Weight Infants (LBWI) is infants with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams regardless of gestation. Babies with low birth weight (LBW) require proper care in order to avoid harmful things, one of which is Kangaroo Care Method. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of kangaroo care method on changes in body temperature in LBW infants. Methods: The research design used was pre-experimental with design category (One group pretest-Post). Sampling technique used is consecutive sampling technique. Independent variable in this research is kangaroo care method. Variable dependent in this research is body temperature change. The data were collected through observation analysis with Wilcoxon test to determine whether there was any difference between two samples. The Results: The result of measuring body temperature in Low Birth Weight Infants indicates a change of given intervention kangaroo care method in body temperature with body temperature average of 36.30 C and there are 2 infants who had a decrease in body temperature after a given intervention. The result of statistic test showed that there was effect of kangaroo care method with Z value of 3.114 and with significant level of 0.002.  Conclusion: The results of the research above proves that kangaroo care method can increase body temperature of in infants who experience LBW, so the kangaroo care method could be a substitute for incubator in overcoming hypothermia in LBW infants.   Keywords: Kangaroo care method, body temperature, LBWI

ABSTRACT   Almost all premature babies have hyperbilirubin due to immature body organs and liver function. Breast milk nutrition, which is often found, especially colostrum, can stimulate the baby's bowel movements to help the excretion process through the feces so that it will clear meconium faster, this will help remove bilirubin in the baby's body. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between breastfeeding nutrition and the incidence of hyperbilirubin in premature babies in the NICU room of the Wahidin Soedirohusada Regional Hospital, Mojokerto.         This type of research is analytic with cross sectional approach. The population of all preterm infants treated in the NICU room of the Wahidin Soedirohusada Mojokerto Regional Hospital was 24 respondents with a total sample of 20 respondents with consecutive sampling. This research was started on March 10 - April 9 2019. Data collection was done by observing drinking intake and observing laboratory results, with 2 independent and dependent variables. Data analysis by editing, coding, scoring, tabulating, chi square test. Furthermore, statistically tested using the chi square test using the SPSS windows program with a significance limit (ά = 0.05) H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected if ρ <0.05.         Based on the results of the research, some respondents, namely 11 respondents (55.0%) experienced good breastfeeding nutrition and there were no hyperbilirubin 12 respondents (60%) of 20 respondents who had good breastfeeding nutrition and did not occur hyperbilirubin as many as 10 respondents (50%) with chi square test, the value of ρ is 0.008, where ρ = 0.008 <0.05, then H1 is accepted. There is a relationship between breastfeeding nutrition and the incidence of hyperbilirubin in premature babies in the NICU room of the Wahidin Soedirohusada Regional Umun Hospital, Mojokerto.         The results of the study are expected for the hospital to increase education about the benefits of breastfeeding to prevent hyperbilirubin and to hold a breastfeeding corner.
