AbstrakKangaroo mother care (KMC) merupakan metode merawat bayi beratbadan lahir rendah (BBLR). Beberapa intervensi perawatan di neonatal intensive care unit seperti pijat bayi, KMC, dan mendengarkan musik bermanfaat untuk pertumbuhan bayi berupa respons fisiologis BBLR dan mengurangi lama rawat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui manfaat musik keroncong terhadap respons BBLR selama KMC dan lama rawat. Rancangan penelitian adalah quasi eksperimental dengan pretest dan posttest dengan desain grup kontrol. Pada Juli - September 2014 populasi penelitian adalah ibu dan bayi BBLR yang melaksanakan KMC. Pengambilan sampel dengan purposive sampling sebanyak 60 bayi. Kriteria inklusi bayi BBLR yang ditetapkan adalah berat badan bayi 1.500 – 2.499 gram, tanpa memandang usia kehamilan, bayi mampu menghisap walaupun masih lemah, tidak mengalami kesulitan pernapasan. Kriteriaeksklusi adalah bayi dengan kelainan kongenital, gejala sepsis, dan bayi yang dilakukan foto terapi. Uji statistik menggunakan uji-t berpasangan, ujit independen dengan nilai p < 0,05 dan CI 95%. Setelah perlakuan hari ketiga, terjadi penurunan nadi pada bayi dengan BBLR 8,13 kali/menit (nilai p = 0,000), respirasi penurunannya 2,36 kali/menit (nilai p = 0,000). Rerata lama rawat bayi pada kelompok perlakuan adalah 8,57 hari, sedangkan kelompok kontrol adalah 11,87 hari (nilai p = 0,038). Suhu hasilnya tidak bermakna (nilai p > 0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa musik keroncong berpengaruh terhadap penurunan nadi, respirasi selama KMC, dan lama rawat bayi.AbstractKangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is nursing care method for low birthweight(LBW) infants. Some care interventions in neonatal intensive care unit, such as infant massage, KMC and listening to music have advantage for infant growth in form of physiological responses and reduce LBW infant-nursing length. This study aimed to determine advantage of keroncong music toward LBW infant’s response during KMC and nursing length. The study design was quasi experimental using pretest and posttest using control group design. Population was mothers and LBW infants implementing KMC. Samples were 60 infants taken by purposive sampling. Inclusion criteria determined for LBW infants were having weight 1,500 – 2,499 gram, without considering pregnancy age, having ability to suckle though still weak, not suffering breathing distress. Meanwhile, exclusion criteria were infants with congenital disorder, sepsis symptoms and infants during therapy photo. Statistical test used paired t-test, independent t-test with p value < 0.05 and confidence interval (CI) 95%. After third day of treatment, LBW pulse decreased 8.13 times/minute (p value = 0.000), respiration decreased 2.36 times/minute (p value = 0.000). Nursing length mean on the treatment group was 8.57 days, while the control group was 11.87 days (p value = 0.038). Temperature result was insignificant (p value > 0.05). In conclusion, keroncong music influences on decrease of pulse, respiration during KMC and length of infant nursing.

Nicu Admission

Background: Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission is often due to specific cardiovascular conditions. Low birthweight, another common reason for NICU admission, is also linked to later cardiovascular risk. Within the past decade, the rate of NICU admissions in the United States has significantly increased. Identification of emerging risk factors for NICU admission will help inform efforts to reduce the number of newborns requiring intensive care. Methods: The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for NICU admission in all infants born in West Virginia (WV), 2012-2017, via Project WATCH. Fifteen exposure variables including demographics, maternal and infant characteristics, were included in multivariable logistic regression analyses, stratified by preterm and term births. Results: Of 120,894 neonates, 6,393 (5.3%) were admitted to NICU. Among preterm infants (Table 1), predictors included male sex (OR: 1.11), insurance status (OR: 1.29), APGAR scores less than or equal to 3 (OR: 2.57), maternal diabetes (OR: 1.68 and 2.01), residence outside WV (OR: 1.27), intrauterine substance exposure (OR: 1.94), congenital abnormalities (OR: 2.58), and low birthweight (OR: 1.73 and 6.64). Risk factors in term infants included all factors identified for preterm infants, as well as maternal smoking, maternal age, and number of previous pregnancies. Conclusions: In addition to infant characteristics predictive of NICU admission (e.g., birthweight and APGAR score), socioeconomic factors (e.g., insurance status and rurality) and preventable risk factors (e.g., maternal smoking and substance use) provide an opportunity for intervention during pregnancy, with the goal to decrease the number of newborns requiring intensive care.

To Receive

Retinopathy of prematurity is a common disorder among extremely low-birthweight preterm infants and may cause total vision loss in as many as 2% to 4% of those weighing less than 2 pounds at birth. Regular examinations begun in the neonatal intensive care unit permit early detection and treatment of progressive ROP and allow a reduction in visual impairment. Infants whose ROP has regressed should continue to receive regular ophthalmologic follow-up for the detection and treatment of myopia and strabismus and, if they have cicatricial sequelae, late retinal detachments as teens or adults. Early intervention and special education programs are important for the children whose vision loss is significant.
