Abstract

Newborns lose heat four times larger than adults, resulting in a decreasing temperature. In the first 30 minutes, the baby can experience a temperature decrease of 3-4 ⁰ C. In a room with a temperature of 20- 25 ⁰ C the baby's skin temperature drops around 0.3 ⁰ C per minute. The temperature reduction is caused by heat loss by conduction, convection, evaporation, and radiation. Various methods of preventing heat loss in newborns include the use of plastic bags and early breastfeeding initiation (IMD) methods which can reduce heat loss in newborns. Early breastfeeding initiation is a simple intervention that has the potential to improve neonatal outcomes significantly and should be universally recommended. In Maternity Room of M. Yunus Hospital in Bengkulu using a fan with a temperature between 26⁰ C - 27⁰ C which caused a significant temperature difference with the temperature in the mother's womb. Type of research used is quasi-experimental with the design of "One Group Pretest-Postest." The population in this study were newborns in RSMY Kota Bengkulu. With as many samples as people calculated based on the Frederer formula, totaling 24 people. In the statistical test, it was found that there was a significant difference between the plastic wrap group and the conventional treatment group (mean difference 0.275, Sig = 0.026), there was no significant difference between the plastic wrap group and the IMD group (mean difference = 0.1, Sig = 0.792) A wrap can be applied to the immediate treatment of new normal babies to prevent heat loss if the IMD experience obstacles.
