Efektivitas Stimulasi Oral Terhadap Refleks Hisap Pada Bayi Berat Badan Lahir Rendah
Introduction: The weakness of sucking reflex in newborns can affect their growth and development, such as delaying the process of food consumption or breastfeeding through the mouth. Early intervention is used to enhance feeding skills orally by stimulating sucking ability in low birth weight infants. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of oral stimulation in improving sucking reflex in low birth weight infants. Method: This research employed a Quasi experiment with a pre-test and post-test nonequivalent control group design conducted on 30 respondents of low birth weight infants with weak sucking reflex. The intervention used was PIOMI, and the assessment instrument used was OFS, which measures the amount of milk consumed by the baby in 10 minutes. Statistical tests used were Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests. Results: The study found that the majority of respondents were aged 34 weeks, comprising 19 infants (63.3%), and most were male, totaling 21 infants (70%), with the majority weighing between 1500-2000 grams, which included 20 infants (66.7%). Wilcoxon test results showed differences between pre-test and post-test values in each group, with a p-value of
0.001 for both the intervention and control groups. Meanwhile, the Mann Whitney test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating that oral stimulation was effective in improving sucking reflex in low birth weight infants. Conclusion: The research results demonstrate that oral stimulation is effective in enhancing sucking reflex in low birth weight infants.
