“…The results of present study reveal that there is statistically significant difference present in body temperature between control and experimental group in day1,2,3,4 and5 at 0.05 level of significance which is evident from "t" value. The findings of the present study are consistent with the findings of the study conducted by Thakur S, Kumar Y, Chand S et al 11 which revealed that t value of axillary temperature of neonates were statistically significant at 0.05 level of significance for all five days.…”

“…On the other hand, the study also found that weight loss in different days were less in experimental group than control group but it is not statistically significant. These findings are congruent with the other study conducted by Thakur S, Kumar Y, Chand S et al 11 which revealed that decrease in weight was less in cling wrap group as compared to non-cling wrap group.…”

“…The findings of present study reflect that there is no significant association between pre-test level of thermoregulation and selected neonatal characteristics in control and experimental group of neonates. The findings are consistent with the study conducted by Thakur S, Kumar Y, Chand S et al 11 which revealed that the computed chi square value was found to be non-significant. On the other hands, Amirtha J 12 reported that there is significant association between gestational age and APGAR score in pre-test level of thermoregulation.…”

“…This is supported by the study conducted by Thakur S, Kumar Y, Chand S et al The findings of the present study also show that there is no significant difference in pre-test and post-test score of body weight in control group and experimental group. This is supported by the study conducted by Thakur S, Kumar Y, Chand S et al 11 which revealed that no significant difference was found in non-cling wrap group and cling wrap group at 0.05 level of significance.…”

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a major challenging public health problem in developing countries. LBW neonates are more susceptible to evaporative heat loss and develop hypothermia immediately after birth that may lead to morbidity and mortality. An experimental study was undertaken among low birth weight neonates in selected medical colleges of West Bengal, with the objectives of effect of cling wrap on body weight and temperature among LBW neonates. Methods: 60 (E =30 & C= 30) subjects were recruited by simple random sampling technique (along with neonatal characteristics). Data were collected through record analysis proforma, digital baby weighing scale and digital thermometer. All tools were tested for validity and reliability and instruments were calibrated before data collection. Permission obtained from Ethics committee before data collection. Results: The findings revealed that most of the subjects (76.67%) had hypothermia in pretest and majority of the subjects (60%) had hypothermia in posttest in control group and most of the subjects (83.33%) had hypothermia before use of cling wrap whereas no one had hypothermia after the use of cling wrap in experimental group. There was significant difference in body temperature between control and experimental group for all five days in post-test at 0.05 level of significance. There was no significant difference in body weight between the control and experimental group of neonates but weight loss is less in experimental group than control group which is not statistically significant for all five days in posttest. The results also showed the significant association between post-test level of thermoregulation and weight at birth in control group of neonates. Conclusion: Therefore, use of cling wrap might be a simple innovative intervention for maintaining body temperature and preventing weight loss to some extent among LBW neonates.

Latar Belakang: Prematur merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kematian pada bayi. Salah satu hal yang menyebabkan yaitu kemampuan termoregulasi yang belum sempurna sehingga mengakibatkan hipotermia. Hal yang bisa dilakukan yaitu pemberian plastik polietilen untuk menghangatkan tubuh bayi.Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh plastik polietilen terhadap suhu bayi prematur di ruang Perinatologi.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pre-post test with control group design. Populasi penelitian ini yaitu bayi prematur dengan berat badan lahir rendah. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 18 responden pada masing-masing kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Implementasi plastik polietilen menggunakan alat ukur standar prosedur operasional sedangkan suhu menggunakan termometer dan lembar observasi. Hasil uji normalitas data didapatkan bahwa data tidak berdistribusi normal, sedangkan hasil uji homogenitas dalam bentuk homogen. Uji statistik bivariat menggunakan Wilcoxon dan Mann Whitney. Hasil: Terdapat pengaruh plastik polietilen terhadap suhu bayi prematur di ruang perinatology (nilai p=0,000). Kesimpulan: Pemberian plastik polietilen dapat membantu mengoptimalkan suhu tubuh pada bayi prematur yang mengalami hipotermia, sehingga hal tersebut dapat direkomendasikan kepada rumah sakit agar intervensi tersebut dapat dijadikan standar prosedur operasional pada bayi prematur yang mengalami hipotermia
