Abstract
Background: Hyperbilirubin or jaundice in newborns is one of the health problems that often occurs and can cause complications if not treated properly. One of the non-pharmacological efforts that can be done to prevent increased bilirubin levels is field massage.
Purpose: This study is to determine the benefits of giving Field Massage to newborns in preventing hyperbilirubin.
Methods: In this study, the method used was a case study on newborns who received continuity of care midwifery care at PMB Widawati Rahayu Sleman Yogyakarta. Field massage was performed regularly on infants aged 6 hours and 12 days with a soft and structured touch technique.
Results: Observation showed that infants who received Field Massage had normal skin color, showed no signs of jaundice, and physical examination andelimination were within normal limits. Field massage is thought to increase blood circulation, improve liver function, and accelerate bilirubin excretion through increased frequency of defecation and urination.
Conclusion
: Field massage is a simple, safe, and effective intervention as a promotive and preventive effort to prevent hyperbilirubin in newborns
