Factor Analysis of Low Birth Weight (lbw) Babies With Hypothermy on Incubator Treatment Success Rates While in the Perinatology Room

Objective: The purpose of this research is Analyzing the factors of low birth weight babies (LBW) with hypothermia on the success rate of treatment while in the perinatology room incubator   Theoretical framework: Low birth weight babies (LBW) are still a problem because they contribute to perinatal mortality, namely 76% die in the first hour of birth and more than two-thirds die in the first week of life. While the cause of perinatal death in LBW with hypothermia has a risk of 4 times the occurrence of death. Efforts to maintain LBW body temperature while in the incubator are very important because the ability to control body temperature is not optimal due to the unavailability of sufficient fat tissue as a heat reserve. This study aims to examine the factor analysis of low birth weight babies (LBW) with hypothermia on the success rate of treatment during the incubator in the perinatology room of Ratu Zalecha Martapura Hospital.   Method: In this study using bivariate analysis with chi square while multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis. The measuring instrument used is the observation sheet. The results showed that of the 89 LBW babies, the most were moderately hypothermic, namely 54 people (60.67%), while the highest treatment success rate was successful, namely 51 people (57.30%).   Results: The results of the Chi-Square test analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between hypothermic LBW infants and the success rate of hypothermic treatment during incubator, with a p value (0.000).   Results and conclusion: The results of multivariate analysis showed that only fetal age had a significant effect (p value = 0.029) and (OR = 2.941) on LBW infants with hypothermia. The factor of preterm fetal age has a tendency of 2.941 times greater for severely hypothermic LBW babies compared to term fetal age. Efforts that can be made are improving quality services in the form of facilities/facilities that are complete and in accordance with the needs of care for babies, especially LBW babies, such as: adding NICU rooms, incubators, adequacy of the number and functioning of equipment and increasing the knowledge and skills of officers.   Implications of the research: Educational institutions can establish partnerships and collaborate with hospitals to use practice areas, especially perinatology rooms, as learning resources to increase student knowledge and competence.
