Inisiasi Menyusu Dini (IMD) adalah bayi diberi kesempatan memulai menyusu sendiri segera setelah lahir/dini, dengan membiarkan kontak kulit bayi dengan kulit ibu setidaknya satu jam atau lebih, sampai menyusu pertama selesai. Praktek IMD di Indonesia kurangdari 1 jam setelah bayi lahir hanya 34.5%. Kurangnya pengetahuan dari orang tua sehingga IMD masih jarang dipraktekkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh edukasi IMD terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil tentang IMD di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Palangloe Kabupaten Gowa. Jenis penelitian dengan metode quasi eksperiment dengan rancanganthe randomized pretest-posttest contol group design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu hamil yang berada di wilayah kerja puskesmas sebanyak 60 ibu hamil pada bulan Januari-April 20017. Penarikan sampel menggunakan metode total sampling 60 ibu hamil. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Uji statistik yang digunakan Mann Whitney, Wilcoxon dan Paired t Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada perbedaan kelompok intervensi dengan kelompok kontrol sebelum dan sesudah intervensi IMD dengan p<0,05 dan ada pengaruh edukasi terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap ibu tentang IMD dengan p<0,05 (pengetahuan kelompok intervensi p=0,000, pengetahuan kelompok kontrol p=0,000; sikap kelompok intervensi p=0,000 dan sikap kelompok kontrol p=0,000). Terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil mengenai IMD setelahdilakukan edukasi (penyuluhan).

Objective: This study aims to identify the determinants of Low Birth Weight (LBW) in Bahteramas General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Method: This research uses an institutional-based Case-Control Study design from May to June 2021 at the Bahteramas Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province. Data were collected from 134 samples of mothers giving birth, with 67 of them having babies with birth weight <2500 g (cases) and 67 of them having birth weights >2500 g (controls) using secondary data, namely medical records. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate with odds ratio test, and multivariate analysis with multiple logistic regression to identify the determinants of LBW.. Result: Based on the logistic regression analysis, it found that the mother's educational status variable was ≤12 years [AOR 0.19 (95% CI 0.06-0.62)]; mothers with parity one or >3 [AOR 0.06 (95% CI 0.01-0.21)]; birth spacing <2 years [AOR 4.49 (95% CI 1.37-14.74)], mothers who had a history of hypertension during pregnancy [AOR 0.07 (95% CI 0.02-0.23)]; and mothers who had a history of anemia during pregnancy [AOR 0.10 (95% CI 0.03-0.31)] with parameter significance in the partial test, each p<0.05, shown to be associated with the incidence of LBW. Conclusions: This study concludes that the mother's low educational status, parity, birth spacing, history of hypertension, and history of anemia were found to be predictors of LBW. It is necessary to improve the knowledge, maintain birth interval, and routinely carry out ANC visits for early detection of pregnancy complications. Keywords: LBW; education status, parity; birth interval; history of hypertension; history of anemia.
