Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies are babies born weighing between 1500 and 2500 grams, and lack of sucking reflex is one of the health problems they may experience. Early oral stimulation, such as massaging the muscle tissue around the mouth, can help overcome weak sucking reflexes. To improve the sucking reflex of patients with LBW, this study aims to apply evidence-based oral motor exercises. This study uses a case study type and is descriptive. In three days, oral motor exercises were carried out every day for fifteen minutes. The results of the study on patient after being given oral motor exercises on the first and second days the patient was still given nutrition through OGT and on the day when client had been given milk through a bottle as much as 10 cc / 3 hours, but client finished the milk as much as 5-7 cc / 3 hours. It can be concluded that the focus data of the assessment results obtained that client was medically diagnosed with LBW, OGT was installed due to weak sucking and swallowing reflexes, Patient weight was 2200 g, then the author raised the main diagnosis of nutritional deficit and disorganized infant behavior which was given oral motoric exercise, and the results obtained that oral motor exercise can increase sucking reflexes in LBW infants. With this study, the suggestion for hospital service institutions is that oral motor exercises like this can be used as an alternative to increase sucking reflexes in LBW.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Posyandu RW 15 Kahuripan merupakan salah satu wilayah di Kota Tasikmalaya yang masih menghadapi tantangan rendahnya kesadaran anak dan remaja akan pentingnya gizi seimbang dan kebiasaan sarapan sehat. Kondisi ini berpotensi mempengaruhi status kesehatan dan prestasi belajar anak, yang diperburuk oleh kebiasaan melewatkan sarapan atau konsumsi makanan kurang bergizi. Kontribusi: Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran anak-anak usia 10–16 tahun dan kader posyandu remaja melalui edukasi langsung mengenai gizi seimbang serta praktik pembagian sarapan sehat sebagai model penerapan. Metode: Kegiatan dilakukan melalui penyuluhan gizi oleh dosen keperawatan secara tatap muka, evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test, serta praktik lapangan berupa pembagian menu sarapan sehat bergizi. Hasil: Terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan peserta dari 33% menjadi 86,25% setelah mengikuti edukasi dan praktik. Peserta juga menunjukkan antusiasme dalam berdiskusi dan menyusun menu sarapan sehat. Kesimpulan: Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi langsung disertai praktik sederhana efektif meningkatkan pemahaman dan motivasi remaja dalam membentuk kebiasaan sarapan sehat. Kegiatan ini dapat direplikasi sebagai program promotif di tingkat posyandu remaja dan sekolah.
