Abstract

Abstrak

Bayi baru lahir (neonatus) memiliki kemampuan regulasi suhu tubuh yang belum sempurna sehingga rentan mengalami kehilangan panas. Suhu tubuh yang tidak stabil dapat mengganggu fungsi fisiologis dan meningkatkan risiko hipotermia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan prinsip termodinamika dengan regulasi suhu tubuh neonatus dalam pelayanan kebidanan. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi literatur melalui penelusuran buku teks, jurnal ilmiah, dan artikel penelitian terkait. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa prinsip perpindahan panas berperan penting dalam menjaga kestabilan suhu tubuh neonatus. Penerapan praktik seperti pengeringan segera setelah lahir, pengaturan suhu ruangan, penggunaan inkubator, dan metode kangaroo mother care terbukti efektif dalam mencegah kehilangan panas. Dengan demikian, pemahaman prinsip termodinamika sangat penting bagi tenaga kesehatan, khususnya bidan, dalam memberikan asuhan neonatal yang optimal guna menjaga kestabilan suhu tubuh dan meningkatkan keselamatan bayi baru lahir.

The Relationship Between Thermodynamic Principles and Neonatal

Body Temperature Regulation in Midwifery Care

 

Abstract

Newborns (neonates) have an immature thermoregulation system, making them vulnerable to heat loss. Unstable body temperature can disrupt physiological functions and increase the risk of hypothermia. This study aims to examine the relationship between thermodynamic principles and the regulation of body temperature in neonates within midwifery care. The method used is a descriptive approach with a literature study design, collecting data from textbooks, scientific journals, and relevant research articles. The results indicate that heat transfer principles play an important role in maintaining neonatal body temperature stability. The implementation of practices such as immediate drying after birth, maintaining room temperature, the use of incubators, and kangaroo mother care has been proven effective in preventing heat loss. In conclusion, understanding thermodynamic principles is essential for healthcare providers, especially midwives, in delivering optimal neonatal care to maintain thermal stability and improve newborn safety.
