Abstract

Introduction: Low birth weight (LBW) babies have a higher risk of morbidity and mortality than normal babies, so this is a challenge for parents to provide special care. Mother's self-efficacy in providing care for LBW is an essential component in determining the quality of care of LBW. However, evidence is scarce on the correlation between the level of maternal knowledge and maternal self-efficacy in caring LBW, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between maternal knowledge level and maternal self-efficacy level who had LBW babies. Methods: The research design was a descriptive analysis involving 22 respondents of postpartum mothers with LBW, willing to be involved in research and able to read and write and had LBW babies treated in the perinatology ward of a state teaching hospital in East Java in January-March 2020. Data were collected using maternal knowledge questionnaire and perceived maternal parenting self efficacy (PMP-SE) questionnaire. The descriptive and gamma correlation test were analyzed in this research. Results: Spearman's rho correlation test showed a significant correlation between the level of knowledge and the mother's self-confidence (p = 0.043; r=0,435). Conculusion: : The level of knowledge determines the level of self-efficacy in caring LBW babies, where the higher the level of knowledge correlates with the higher maternal self-efficacy. Nurses need to understand mothers' self-efficacy with LBW babies because high self-efficacy can indicate that mothers can provide quality care for LBW babies

Abstract

Introduction: Human Milk Fortifier (HMF) is an additional supplement for breast milk that can meet the nutritional needs of premature. One of the efforts to support the growth of premature babies is to fulfill their nutritional intake. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of giving HMF to breast milk on increasing the weight of premature babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Methods: The research design used a quasi-experiment design with a pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design. The samples are premature babies treated in the NICU in Surabaya. The sample technique used purposive sampling of 25 respondents as the treatment group (breast milk + HMF) and 20 respondents as the control group (breast milk only). The instrument uses a questionnaire and observation sheet. Data were analyzed using the repeated measures ANOVA test and the independent sample t-test. The repeated measures ANOVA test results indicate a statistically significant difference in weight gain over time (P-value <0.05), demonstrating that HMF supplementation contributes more effectively to weight gain compared to breast milk alone. Results: The study demonstrated a significant increase in body weight over time in both the treatment group and the control group, as measured by the Fenton chart (weight on days 7, 14, 21, and 28) with a P-value = 0.000. Notably, the treatment group (HMF+breast milk) exhibited a more pronounced weight gain by day 28 compared with control group (breast milk only), with a P-value = 0.015, indicating the superior efficacy of breast milk+HMF in promoting weight gain. Conclusion: Adding human milk fortifier to breast milk effectively increases weight in premature infants due to its high calorie content. It is particularly beneficial for infants requiring fluid restrictions. Keywords: fenton chart, human milk fortifier, premature baby's weight, quasi-experiment non-equivalent control group design
