PENGARUH JUMLAH TOPIKAL AIR SUSU IBU TERHADAP LAMA PELEPASAN TALI PUSAT

Abstract

The length of time that the cord is removed will allow infection which is the cause of death. WHO recommends treatment based on aseptic principles, but there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine use of topical antimicrobials for treatment. The incidence of tetanus neonatorum due to umbilical cord infection continues to increase and is at risk of causing death. Several studies have shown that breast milk is an alternative material for cord care because it is sterile, contains antiinflammatory and anti-infective properties. This study aims to determine the effect of the topical amount of breast milk on the duration of release. The research design used a quasi-experiment with a cohort approach. The sample in this study was 43 babies who were selected using consecutivesampling. Samples were divided into 3 treatment groups, namely newborns who met the inclusion criteria were given 5 drops, 7 drops, and 10 drops of breast milk to observe the duration of wound healing. Data collection using the observation sheet. The results showed the fastest wound healing time was given 5 drops of breast milk for 164,931 hours (164 hours 56 minutes), 10 drops for 170,173hours (170 hours 10 minutes), and 7 drops for 171,807 hours (171 hours 48 minutes). The results of the analysis using one-way ANOVA showed that the treatment of topical breastfeeding had no significant effect on the length of healing of cord wounds (F-count 0.393 with p-value 0.678). Topical breastfeeding responds differently to the healing of the baby's cord wound. Keywords: breast milk, length of umbilical cord release
