Penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan bahwa ibu melahirkan secara sectio cae-sarea cenderung lebih lambat melakukan inisiasi menyusu dini dan mem-punyai prevalensi lebih rendah dalam praktik ASI ekslusif dibanding Ibumelahirkan pervaginam. Ibu post sectio caesarea juga tidak memulaimenyusui bayinya pada hari pertama melahirkan. Tujuan penelitian iniadalah mengetahui faktor yang menyebabkan rendahnya praktik inisiasiASI pada Ibu post sectio caesarea termasuk peran tenaga kesehatan di se-buah rumah sakit di Surabaya. Sebanyak 72 ibu yang melahirkan secarasectio caesarea selama bulan Juni 2012 telah menandatangani informedconsent, diobservasi sejak masuk rumah sakit sampai akhir hari ke-2 postsectio caesarea, dan diwawancara dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Hasilpenelitian menunjukkan semua ibu sudah mempunyai pengetahuan yangbaik tentang ASI, 26,4% di antaranya sudah mempunyai pengalaman se-belumnya dalam memberikan ASI, tetapi hanya 6,9% dan total 29,2% yangmulai memberikan ASI pada hari pertama dan kedua pasca sectio cae-sarea. Dukungan tenaga kesehatan dalam hal membantu proses pember-ian ASI dilaporkan masih rendah. Uji korelasi mendapatkan bahwa dukun-gan tenaga kesehatan dan kondisi rawat gabung adalah faktor yangberhubungan dengan praktik pemberian ASI (p value 0,39; p = 0,001; phivalue = 0,47; p = 0,001). Rendahnya pemberian ASI ibu pasca sectio cae-sarea berkorelasi dengan rendahnya dukungan tenaga kesehatan dan pe-nundaan rawat gabung.Previous studies showed that breastfeeding initiation was late in babiesborn with sectio caesarea compared to those with vaginal delivery andprevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice was low in the former group.There was no breastfeeding initiation in the first day of post sectio caesarea.The objective of this study was to define factors correlated to low breast-Rendahnya Praktik Menyusui pada Ibu Post SectioCaesarea dan Dukungan Tenaga Kesehatan di RumahSakitThe Low Practices of Breastfeeding for Sectio Caesarea Women and HealthWorkers Support in HospitalDwi Retno Wulandari, Linda Dewantifeeding practice initiation on post sectio caesarea mother, including the roleof health workers in a hospital in Surabaya. 72 post sectio caesarea moth-ers were observed and interviewed on 1-30 June 2012 to find the factorscorrelated with breastfeeding practice. The results showed that although allthe mothers already had a good knowledge about breastfeeding, and 26.4%of them had previous experience in breastfeeding, only 6.9% and 29.2% oftotal breastfeeding is started on the first and second post sectio caesarearespectively. Support for breastfeeding practice from health workers waslow, and there were significant correlation between the support and room-ing conditions with breastfeeding practices (p = 0.001). We concluded thatlow level of breastfeeding practice on mother with sectio caesarea correlat-ed with low support of health professional and with the delay of room-inpractice. |
