PENYULUHAN KESEHATAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN PERAWATAN BAYI BARU LAHIR
Abstract
dan kelangsungan hidup anak sejak hari pertama kehidupan. Namun, masih banyak orang tua, khususnya di wilayah pedesaan, yang belum memiliki pemahaman yang memadai terkait perawatan neonatal. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai perawatan bayi baru lahir melalui penyuluhan kesehatan yang bersifat edukatif dan interaktif. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan lisan, demonstrasi praktik perawatan bayi, distribusi materi edukatif, serta sesi tanya jawab. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Desa Danau Usung, Kecamatan Murung, Kabupaten Murung Raya, pada tanggal 7 Oktober 2024 dengan durasi pelaksanaan selama empat minggu. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pengetahuan peserta, berdasarkan hasil pre-test dan post-test, terutama terkait pemberian ASI eksklusif, jadwal imunisasi, serta kebersihan tali pusat. Respon peserta sangat positif, dengan banyak yang merasa lebih percaya diri dalam merawat bayi mereka. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan penyuluhan yang tepat dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam merawat bayi baru lahir, serta layak dijadikan model untuk intervensi serupa di wilayah lainnya yang memiliki tantangan kesehatan serupa.
