The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of mother’s knowledge, family role, umbilical cord care to umbilical cord separation time in newborns at Marissa Mother and Child Hospital Palembang in 2023. This study was an analytical survey where the researcher explored how and why the phenomenon of maternal health occured. This analytical survey used a cross-sectional approach to study the dynamic correlation between risk factors and effects, through observation or data collection at single point in time. The statistical test result showed that the ρ value of 0.007 ≤ α 0.05 for mother’s knowledge, the ρ-value for family role 0.028 ≤ α 0.05, and the ρ-value for umbilical cord care 0.045 ≤ α 0.05. Therefore, it could be concluded that was a significant relationship of mother’s knowledge, family role, family role, umbilical cord care to umbilical cord separation time in newborns at Marissa Mother and Child Hospital Palembang in 2023.]]>
