ABSTRAK
Skin to skin contact merupakan salah satu bagian yang penting selama prosespelaksanaan manajemen kala III. Hormon oksitosin maternal yang diproduksiselama proses skin to skin contact mempercepat pengeluaran plasenta,meningkatkan kontraksi uterus, memberikan rasa nyaman, dan mencegahperdarahan setelah persalinan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaranlamanya skin to skin contact dan waktu pengeluaran plasenta pada ibu partuspervaginam. Desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif sederhana dengan jumlahsampel sebanyak 102 responden. Pengumpulan data menggunakan lembarobservasi dan kuesioner karakteristik responden. Analisa data menggunakan ujicross tabs. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, skin to skin contact yang dilakukanselama kurang dari 30 menit, 66.7% waktu pengeluaran plasenta yang terjadi adalah5 menit. Hasil penelitian ini, turut dipengaruhi oleh pemberian oksitosin injeksi.Sehingga penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan untuk meneliti lamanya skin to skincontact pada ibu partus pervaginam yang tidak diberikan oksitosin injeksi.
