Pengaruh pemberian makanan tambahan (PMT) pada ibu hamil terhadap berat lahir bayi
Abstract: Anemia causes fetal
growth disorders that affect birth weight. Antenatal care (ANC) coverage and
provision of high Fe if not followed by a decrease in the incidence of anemia
can result indirectly in the risk of low birth weight. Supplementary feeding is
expected to resolve the issue.
Objective: To assess the effect of supplementary feeding on the third
trimester of pregnancy on birth weight.
Method: This was a quantitative study with a study design of
quasi-experiment and non-equivalent control group. The given intervention was
fish-processed feeding for 30 days. The study population was pregnant women in
the third trimester in all health centers in the City of Yogyakarta and the
samples were 104 pregnant women in some health centers with convenience
sampling technique. The subjects were divided into two, namely the treatment
group (PMT) and the comparison group (non-PMT). Birth weight was weighed
immediately after the baby was born. Statistical analysis used t-test and
logistic regression.
Results: The mean birth weight of infants in the treatment group and the
comparison group was 3248 g and 2974 g, respectively, so that the difference in
the mean birth weight of both groups was 274 g (p=0.0002; 95%C:131-416). Thus,
supplementary feeding was shown significantly affect the birth weight. The extraneous
variables that significantly influenced birth weight were pregnancy interval.
Other extraneous variables were age, mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC),
education, occupation, economic status, parity, protein intake, compliance of
Fe tablet intake, antenatal care, gestational age at delivery and anemia status
were not proven statistically significant to affect birth weight.
Conclusion: Supplementary feeding effect on birth weight.
