Analysis Risk Factors of Asphyxia Neonatorum at Bitung Regional General Hospital

Abstract

Neonatorum asphyxia is a condition where newborns cannot breathe spontaneously and regularly immediately after birth so that it can reduce O2 and increase CO2 which causes bad consequences in further life. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of asphyxia neonatorum. This research method is descriptive analytic using a retrospective design, namely research that seeks to look back, meaning that data collection starts from the effect that is traced back to the cause or the variables that influence the effect. This study was conducted in the Bitung Regional General Hospital. The samples used were 111 samples which were determined by stratified random sampling. The results obtained = 0.000 for parity, = 0.000 for maternal age, = 0.002 for gestational age, = 0.033 for premature rupture of membranes (ρ < 0.05). In conclusion, there is a relationship between parity, maternal age, gestational age and premature rupture of membranes with the incidence of asphyxia neonatorum.
