Pengetahuan Inisiasi Menyusu Dini Berdasarkan Karakteristik Ibu Hamil di Puskesmas Pakmerah
The policy of early initiation of breastfeeding has been
socialized in Indonesia since August 2007 (Roesli, 2008).
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended
that all babies get colostrum, namely breast milk on the
first and second days to fight various infections and get
exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (Ministry of Health
2012). The IMD implementation policy is also expected to
reduce infant mortality (IMD). In infant mortality, 40%
occurs in the first month of life and early initiation of
breastfeeding can reduce these risk factors for death,
thereby reducing 22% for 28-day infant mortality. The
research design was a cross sectional study using primary
data (questionnaire). This sample uses accidental sampling
method. The results showed that of the 87 respondents at
Puskesmas Palmerah, the age of 20-35 years old mothers
who had good knowledge about IMD were 30 respondents
(34.5%), respondents with high education (SMA-PT) had
good knowledge about IMD as many as 51 respondents (
58.62%), respondents who work and have good knowledge
about IMD are 24 respondents (27.59%), respondents who
are experienced and have good knowledge about IMD are
42 respondents (48.28%), respondents who receive
information and have Good knowledge about IMD was 69
(79.31%), while the related variables included age,
education and experience with a P value of 0.384 greater
than α, namely 0.05. Conclusion. Characteristics of age,
education level, experience are closely related to the
knowledge possessed by pregnant women, especially those
related to knowledge of IMD. Meanwhile, the factor that is
not related to the success of IMD is the source of
information. Suggestion. There needs to be an effort to do
outreach activities on Early Initiation of Breastfeeding
(IMD) or supporting facilities to increase the knowledge of
pregnant women, especially in the third timester.
