Exclusive Breastfeeding Determinants of Non-working Mothers

The nutritional status in the first 1000 days of life is very important. WHO and UNICEF recommend that newborn babies should only be breastfed for at least six months, so that babies can grow and develop optimally. The recommendation has been applied, but the failure of exclusive breastfeeding still occurs. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of exclusive breastfeeding of not working mothers in the work area of Oesapa Public Health Center, Kelapa Lima subdistrict in 2019. This is a quantitative study with cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted in the work area of Oesapa Public Health Center with a sample of 61 babies. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed that the variables of mother’s knowledge (ρ= 0,001), mother’s trust (ρ= 0,024), family’s support (ρ= 0,000), and health care provider’s support (ρ= 0,028) are related to exclusive breastfeeding, but mothers’ age (ρ= 0.257) and information exposure (ρ= 1,000) are not related to exclusive breastfeeding. The factor of family’s support (ρ= 0,001) and mother’s knowledge (ρ= 0,005) had the highest correlation with exclusive breastfeeding. The mothers' level of knowledge also had a major contribution to the success of exclusive breastfeeding. To achieve exclusive breastfeeding success, mothers need support from the family (especially husband) and complete information from health workers so the mothers’ knowledge can be improved. The health centers need to utilize various health promotion media to increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstrak Cakupan ASI eksklusif di wilayah Puskesmas Kecamatan Mampang Prapatan masih rendah, sementara pendidikan tentang ASI eksklusif kepada masyarakat harus terus dilakukan karena dapat memberikan informasi penting untuk calon ibu dan keluarga. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui dukungan tenaga kesehatan terhadap perilaku pemberian ASI eksklusif pada Ibu bayi usia 0-5 bulan 29 hari di Posyandu Wilayah Puskesmas Kecamatan Mampang Prapatan. Penelitian dengan disain cross sectional ini dilakukan terhadap 250 ibu bayi yang terdaftar di Posyandu yang diwawancara menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur pada bulan November–Desember 2017. Berdasarkan hasil analisis multiple cox regression didapatkan bahwa peluang kelompok ibu yang mendapatkan dukungan tenaga kesehatan dengan baik untuk memberikan ASI eksklusif adalah 1,6 (CI 95% 1,02-2,34) kali dibandingkan dengan kelompok ibu yang kurang mendapatkan dukungan dari tenaga kesehatan. Disimpulkan bahwa Ibu yang mendapatkan 4 atau lebih dari 5 perlakuan diantaranya konseling ASI saat ANC, dilakukan IMD, dirawat gabung bersama bayi, bayinya tidak diberikan makanan dan minuman selain ASI selama masa perawatan, serta ibu pernah mendapatkan penyuluhan, maka peluangnya untuk memberikan ASI eksklusif lebih besar dibandingkan dengan ibu yang hanya mendapatkan 0-3 perlakuan tersebut. Diharapkan kepada penyedia layanan kesehatan Ibu dan anak dapat menetapkan kebijakan terkait pelayanan manajemen laktasi. Kata kunci: Dukungan Tenaga Kesehatan, ASI Eksklusif, Posyandu Abstract The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Mampang Prapatan Public Health Center was still low. Meanwhile, education about exclusive breastfeeding to the community should continue to be done because it can provide important information for prospective mothers and families. Then conducted a study to determine the support of health workers to exclusive breastfeeding on the mother of the baby aged 0-5 months 29 days in Posyandu Mampang Prapatan Public Health Center. This cross sectional study was conducted on 250 infant mothers enrolled at Posyandu who were interviewed using structured questionnaire in November-December 2017. Based on data analysis with multiple cox regression, it was found that the opportunity of maternal group that get good health support to give exclusive breastfeeding is 1,547 (95% CI 1.023-2,339) times bigger than those group of mothers who get less support from health worker. It can be concluded that if the mothers get 4 or more of 5 treatments such as breastfeeding counseling during ANC, early breastfeeding initiation, treated together with baby, the baby is not given any food and drink other than breastmilk during the treatment period, and the mother has got counseling, the possibility to give exclusive breastfeeding greater than mothers who only get 0-3 of these treatments. It was expected that health providers can establish policies related to lactation management services. Keywords: Health Workers Support, Exclusive Breastfeeding , Posyandu

Work Area

BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding has an important role in maintaining the health and survival of babies because when they are exclusively breastfed, they will have a good immune system compared to babies who are not exclusively breastfed. Exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia is regulated in Government Regulation Number 33 of 2012 concerning Exclusive Breastfeeding which explains that breast milk is given to babies from birth for 6 months, without being added or replaced with other foods/drinks. This is emphasized in Article 6 of Government Regulation Number 33 of 2012 concerning Exclusive Breastfeeding, that every mother who gives birth is obliged to provide Exclusive Breastfeeding for her baby unless there is a medical indication that makes it impossible for a mother to breastfeed, or the mother is separate from the baby. Data from the Palu City Health Office shows that the lowest amount of exclusive breastfeeding is in the Bulili Community Health Center with a proportion of 37.17%. AIM: The aim of this study is to find out the Determinants of Exclusive Breastfeeding in the work area of Bulili Public Health Center. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research used a quantitative method with cross-sectional study approach, and simple random sampling method. The population in this study was all mothers who had babies aged 0–6 months with a total sample of 103 respondents. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire using a Likert scale for the variables of exclusive breastfeeding and the Guttman scale for the variables of maternal employment status, family support, health workers support, and policy. RESULTS: Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. Chi-square test results summarizes the following: maternal work (p = 0.434), formula milk promotion (p = 0.029), family support (p = 0.019), health workers support (p = 0.572), and policy (p = 0.001). Mothers who have babies aged 0–6 months are obliged to fulfill the children’s rights, which is to provide exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months without providing any other foods/drinks such as water, bananas, honey, or formula milk. CONCLUSION: Mother’s occupation and formula milk promotion are not related to exclusive breastfeeding, while variables such as supports from families, health workers, and policy are related to exclusive breastfeeding.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Introduction: In Indonesia, there has been a 10% increase in the span of five years for exclusive breastfeeding, however this is still far from the national target. One of the factors that can cause low rates of national exclusive breastfeeding is that not all babies have received an early initiation of breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 7-12 months in the work area of Wiyung Public Health Center, Surabaya. Methods: This study was a quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The study used a questionnaire as the research instrument given to 30 respondents, namely mothers who had 7-12 month old babies in the work area of Wiyung Public Health Center, Surabaya. Results: The percentage of early initiation of breastfeeding in babies aged 7-12 months was 53.33% meanwhile the percentage of exclusive was 73.33%. Using Chi Square Fisher Exact Test, it was found that there is no relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 7-12 months in the working area of the Wiyung Public Health Center in Surabaya. (The value of p = 0.574 with a value of α = 0.05, p>α). Conclusion: The early initiation of breastfeeding is not the only factor influencing exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 7-12 months in the work area of the Wiyung Public Health Center in Surabaya. Further research is needed on other factors that can relate to and influence exclusive breastfeeding.
