Abstract :
Hypothermia in the newborn (BBL) due to the temperature control center is
not adequate, inadequate body insulation for a thin, flat layer. Hypothermia
accounts for 6.3% of infant deaths. Continuous hypothermia causes
respiratory acidosis, respiratory distress ending death, apparel effect on
body temperature. Black clothing absorbs heat radiation has properties very
well. This study aimed to influence their use in the prevention of
hypothermia BBL interventional research methods with Post Test Only
Control Group Design. The population of the entire BBL Central Lampung
hospitalizisation in a health center for six months. Samples were 98 infants,
49 infants intervention group, the control group of 49 infants. Analysis of
using independent t-test. The resulting increase in body temperature BBL
using the regular black clothes 0.3531ºC, increased body temperature in
addition to the use of black clothing 0.0510ºC. The results of the statistical
test p-value of 0.000, meaning that there is the effect of the use of black
clothing to the increase in body temperature BBL. Conclusions black
clothes more effectively prevent hypothermia in the BBL. Suggestion black
clothing is recommended for BBL to prevent hypothermia.
