Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still high with the main causes of pre-eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage, this occurs due to endometritis, congenital coagulation disorders as well as residual conception products, subinvolution of blood vessels at placental implantation.  Therefore, efforts are needed to increase uterine contractions in the first minute after birth by stimulating the release of the hormone oxytocin so that the uterus contracts adequately with early initiation of breastfeeding (EIB). This study aims to determine the effect of EIB on uterine involution in postpartum mothers in Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. Design of research is cross sectional with independent variable of EIB, dependent variable of uterine involution. External variables measured include early mobilization, age and parity. The sample in this study were postpartum mothers on day 7, a total of 54 people selected by purposive sampling. The research site was located in Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. Data were analyzed univariate, bivariate with Mann Whitney and multivariate with ancova. There is an effect of EIB with uterine involution p=0.000.  There is no relationship between parity and uterine involution p=0.100. There is a relationship between age and uterine involution p=0.00. There is a relationship between early mobilization and uterine involution p=0.00. EIB is the dominant factor affecting uterine involution in postpartum mothers. EIB is the dominant factor affecting uterine involution. Health care providers should perform EIB within the first hour after the birth of the baby to prevent sub involution in postpartum women. Keywords:  Breastfeeding, Early, Initiation, Involution, Uterine

Abstract

Breast milk is the best food for babies because it can build antibodies from an early age. Exclusively breastfeeding babies with additional food from birth to 6 months of age can prevent infectious diseases such as otiris media, diarrhea and acute respiratory infections. In Indonesia, the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding is still low due to various factors related to socio-demographics. Low access to relevant information about exclusive breastfeeding is also the cause of mothers' low knowledge about the benefits of exclusively breastfeeding their babies. Apart from that, adequate support from family and health workers also influences exclusive breastfeeding. This research aims to determine the relationship between socio-economics, family support and support from health workers on exclusive breastfeeding for babies 0-6 months in the Sawah Lebar Community Health Center area, Bengkulu City. Cross sectional research design with a sample of 98 babies aged 6-12 months selected using proportional random sampling technique. Data were analyzed univariately using a frequency distribution table, bivariately using chi square and multi variately using logistic regression. The results of the study found that there was a relationship between economic status and exclusive breastfeeding, p=0.00, there was a relationship between family support and exclusive breastfeeding, p=0.00, and there was a relationship between support from health workers and exclusive breastfeeding, p=0.00. Multivariate test results found that economic status was the most dominant factor influencing exclusive breastfeeding with a value of p=0.00. It is recommended for health workers to provide exclusive breastfeeding education in structured groups, the intervention given must take into account working mothers from middle to upper economic groups and involve family members.Keywords:  Exclusive breastfeeding, economy, family, officers
