PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MINYAK KELAPA MURNI  (VIRGIN COCONUT OIL) DIBANDINGKAN MINYAK MINERAL PADA PIJAT BAYI TERHADAP PENINGKATAN BERAT BADAN BAYI:  RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Latar belakang: Penggunaan minyak pijat telah dipraktikkan sejak dulu selama beberapa generasi di India dan negara Asia. Penggunaan minyak pada pijat bayi dapat memberikan manfaat. Minyak dapat memberikan kehangatan dan nutrisi. Minyak kelapa murni merupakan asam lemak rantai sedang yang memiliki mekanisme penyerapan yang berbeda sehingga dapat dengan mudah dimetabolisme oleh tubuh. Penelitian penggunaan minyak topikal (minyak kelapa murni) pada pijat bayi dapat meningkatkan berat badan. Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh pijat bayi menggunakan VCO dibandingkan minyak mineral terhadap peningkatan berat badan bayi usia 1-2 bulan. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini bersifat double blind dengan rancangan randomized controlled trial (RCT). Penelitian dilakukan bulan Agustus sampai Oktober 2016 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Jetis Yogyakarta. Responden sebanyak 60 bayi yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi (usia 1-2 bulan, partus spontan, berat lahir 2.500-4.000 gram dan usia kehamilan 37-42 minggu) dialokasikan secara acak (random) untuk 2 kelompok, (1) pijat dengan VCO (n=30) dan (2) pijat dengan minyak mineral (n=30). Pijat dilakukan oleh ibu 15 menit sebanyak 2 kali sehari (pagi dan sore) selama 4 minggu dengan ukuran minyak 5 ml setiap pijat. Berat badan diukur dengan timbangan bayi tidur dengan ketelitian 0,05 kg. Validitas dan reliabilitas tingkat pengetahuan ibu dilakukan dengan uji korelasi pearson (rhitung) dan product moment (rtabel). Hasil uji validitas rhitung ada pada rentang 0,379-0,47 dan rtabel 0,374 (sig. rhitung>rtabel) dan pada uji reliabilitas diperoleh rhitung 0,395 and rtabel 0,374 (sig. rhitung>rtabel). Analisis data dilakukan dengan analisis univariabel dan bivariabel menggunakan paired t-test dan independent t-test. Hasil Penelitian: Perlakuan pijat baik menggunakan VCO dan minyak mineral dapat meningkatkan berat badan. Pijat menggunakan VCO meningkatkan berat badan rata-rata sebesar 1.173,3 gram (95% CI: 1.140,9-1.205,7) dengan nilai ρ=0,0001 (sig. ρ

Abstract Background Preterm constitutes a major part of neonatal mortality, particularly in India. Due to dermal immaturity, preterm neonates are susceptible to various complications like infection, hypothermia, etc. Emollient application is a traditional practice in our subcontinent. Aims To find out the efficacy of coconut oil application for skin maturity, prevention of sepsis, hypothermia and apnea, its effect on long-term neurodevelopment and adverse effect of it, if any. Material and methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted in the rural field practice area of Department of Community Medicine, Burdwan Medical College from March 2014 to August 2018. Preterm born in the study period was divided into Group A (received virgin coconut oil application) and Group B (received body massage without any application). Neonatal skin condition was assessed on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day of life. Neurodevelopmental status was assessed on 3rd, 6th and 12th months. Results A total of 2294 preterm were included in the study. Groups A and B consisted of 1146 and 1148 preterm infants, consecutively. Mean gestational age of the study population was 31.9 ± 3.4 weeks and 50.4% were male. Mean weight loss in first few days was less in group A but mean weight gain per day was higher in group B. Lesser incidences of hypothermia and apnea, and better skin maturity and neurodevelopmental outcome were noted in group A. No significant adverse effect was noted with coconut oil application. Conclusion Use of coconut oil helps in dermal maturity and better neurodevelopmental outcome. Further studies are warranted for universal recommendation.
