- Abstract
Babies with low birth weight (LBW) often experience several problems due to organ characteristics that are not yet perfect at birth, causing physiological stress. In the Perinatology Room, Dr M. Zein Painan there is no special handling effort to overcome physiological stress in LBW infants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nesting on changes in physiological stress in infants with low birth weight (LBW) in the Perinatology room of RSUD DR. M. Zein Painan in 2019. The type of research is a Quasi-Experiment Design with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted in the Perinatology room of RSUD DR. M. Zein Painan. The population in this study were all LBW infants who were being treated in the Perinatology room. The number of samples is as many as 16 people with the purposive sampling technique. Univariate data analysis with mean distribution table and bivariate analysis with independent T-test test. The results of the study obtained mean pulse frequency in the treatment group (pretest 152.00 and posttest 143.50), respiratory rate (pretest 59.63 and posttest 51, 88) and oxygen saturation (pretest 91.58 and posttest 98.25). The results of statistical tests showed that there were differences in the mean pulse frequency (p= 0.000), respiratory rate (p= 0.002) and oxygen saturation (p= 0.000) in the treatment group and the control group, where there was an effect of nesting on changes in physiological stress in infants with body weight. low birth weight (LBW) in the Perinatology room at RSUD DR. M. Zein Painan. This study concludes that there is an effect of nesting on changes in physiological stress in infants with low birth weight (LBW).
