Abstract

Behavior of caring for babies with low birth weight (LBW) is a reaction or response to the condition of LBW babies which is divided into three domains, namely knowledge, attitudes and actions. Good behavior of mothers in caring for infants with LBW will have an impact on reducing mortality and morbidity rates for infants and toddlers. Descriptive research was conducted with the aim of knowing the level of knowledge, attitudes and actions of mothers in caring for LBW babies at home. The sample in this study were 30 mothers who had LBW babies aged 1 year, residing in Medan and had been taking care of them at home. This research uses purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the mother's behavior in caring for LBW babies at home for the majority knowledge domain was good (100%), for the attitude domain the majority is positive (100%) and for the action domain the majority is good (100%). It is concluded that knowledge, attitudes, actions in this study are in line with behavioral theory. It is recommended to conduct research by exploring the factors that support the formation of a good level of knowledge, positive attitudes and good actions.

母亲在家照顾低出生体重儿的行为

低出生体重儿关爱行为是对低出生体重儿状况的一种反应或回应，分为知识、态度和行动三个领域。母亲在照顾低体重婴儿方面的良好行为将对降低婴幼儿死亡率和发病率产生影响。进行描述性研究，目的是了解母亲在家中照顾低体重婴儿的知识水平、态度和行动。本研究的样本是30位母亲，她们有1岁的LBW婴儿，居住在棉兰，并一直在家照顾他们。本研究采用目的性抽样技术。结果表明，母亲在家照顾低体重婴儿的行为在大多数知识领域表现良好(100%)，在态度领域表现积极(100%)，在行动领域表现良好(100%)。结果表明，本研究的知识、态度、行为均符合行为理论。建议通过探索支持形成良好水平的知识、积极态度和良好行为的因素来进行研究。
