Riskesdas, 2013, menyatakan bahwa prevalensi BBLR tertinggi didapati di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah sebesar 18,2%, Nusa Tenggara Timur  sebesar 15,5% dan Provinsi Papua (15,6%), sedangkan prevalensi terendah di Provinsi Sumatera Utara sebesar 7,5%, namun angka tersebut masih menjadi masalah kesehatan, karena menurut Depkes RI (2009), BBLR dikategorikan sebagai masalah kesehatan masyarakat apabila prevalensinya ≥ 5%. RSUD Prof Dr W.Z Johannes Kupang tahun 2016 (Januari-Juni) kasus BBLR sebanyak 100 kasus dari total kelahiran 459 bayi baru lahir.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan komponen perawatan metode kanguru terhadap peningkatan status kesehatan BBLR. Jenis penelitian adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cros sectional study. Teknik Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah total sampling dengan sampel 100 orang. Hasil analisis bivariat dengan uji chi square menunjukkan bahwa perawatan metode kanguru position berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan status kesehatan BBLR (PR = 2,79) dengan nilai (Pv=0,000., Pv<0,05). Kanguru nutrition berpengaruh terhadap status kesehatan BBLR (PR = 2,47) dengan nilai (Pv=0,000., Pv<0,05). Kanguru support berpengaruh terhadap status kesehatan BBLR (PR = 2,72) dengan nilai (Pv=0,000., Pv<0,05). Analisis multivariat dengan uji regresi logistik ganda menunjukkan bahwa kanguru nutrition paling berpeluang dalam peningkatan status kesehatan BBLR dengan nilai p=0,000. Disarankan kepada ibu-ibu agar dapat berperan aktif dalam penerapan komponen PMK.
