Description
Introduction: The case of iron deficiency anaemia in infants is a serious
health problem because it interferes with mental and cognitive
development. DCC prolongs blood flow from the placenta to the baby
through the umbilical cord, increases blood volume, and optimizes oxygen
transfusion which might prevent anaemia and promote effective self-
breathing. Objective: To determine the effect of DCC on Haemoglobin
Levels and Oxygen Saturation Levels in Newborns.
Methods: Experimental research with Post-test Only Control Group design.
The Total Sampling method was used on 30 newborns as the samples, with
15 newborns in the intervention group and 15 newborns in the control
group. Data collection used the Delayed Cord Clamping procedure,
observation sheets, Easy Touch GCHb tool and Baby SpO2. An Independent
T-test was used to process the data.
Results: Based on the experiment on 30 infants, it was found that the
average haemoglobin level of newborns with the Delayed Cord Clamping
treatment was 22.07 gr/dL higher than the haemoglobin level of newborns
without the Delayed Cord Clamping treatment of 17.79 gr/dL. In addition,
the average oxygen saturation level of new-borns with the Delayed Cord
Clamping treatment was 87.4% more than the oxygen saturation level of
new-borns without the Delayed Cord Clamping treatment of 77.4%.
Conclusion: There is an effect of DCC on Haemoglobin Levels and Oxygen
Saturation Levels in Newborns in the Work Area of the Aikmel Regional
Health Centre. There is a need to increase information about the benefits
of DCC among health workers.
