Conclusion Bay Leaves Concept

behavioral mechanism all contribute to maternal-infant bonding. 5 The results of the present study signifies that with the initiation of breatfeeding within one hour of delivery, maternal-infant bonding is improved as compared to initiation of breastfeeding after one hour of delivery. Statistical significant differences were seen between the bonding scores of mothers who initiated breast feeding within hour of the delivery and the mothers who initiated breast feeding breast feeding should be initiated within one hour of the delivery. A similar study using the same tool after 6 weeks and one year of the delivery can be taken up to provide further impetus to the findings. A similar study using interview technique along with the “maternal- infant bonding tool” can be done to further refine the findings. The findings of the study provides An evidence-based data for the improvement of “maternal- infant bonding.” Hence feeding in the first hour of delivery is recomended to after one hour of the delivery. Based on the findings, the study recommends that Conclution improve maternal-infant bonding. 1. Majority of the subjects were in the age group of 21-25 years. 2. 13 43.3 subjects from group had per capita income of IDR 600.000 – whereas 12 40.0, subjects 7. More than half of the study subjects were primigravida 50.0 from control group and a half 57.0 from experimental group. 8. Majority of the control group of from experimental groups had per study subjects 77 delivered capita income IDR 600.000- IDR 1.200.000- per month. 3. 15 50.0 subjects from control group had educational 10 th – 12 th SMA – whereas 17 57.0, subjects from experimental groups had educational 10 th – 12 th SMA. In the control group. between 37 to 40 weeks period of gestation and experimental groups and control group 80. 9. In the control group, 11 37.0 subjects, had baby boy 19 63.0 had baby girl while in experimental group, 20 67.0 subjects, had baby boy and 10 33.0 had baby 4. More than half of the subjects girl. 57.0 from experimental group and 53.0 from control group were house wives. 5. More than half 47.0 of subjects from control group and 53.0 from experiment group were from rural background. 6. More than half type of family 53.0 of subjects from control group and 60.0 from experiment group were joint family. 10. This research showed significant difference in bonding score in the control and experimental group both at 24 hours and 48 hours of the delivery. Respectively p = 0.002 at both 24 hours and p = 0, 001 for 48 hours. 11. The reasons were lack of rooming in and non willingness on mothers part. There was significant difference in the scores. p = 0.007 0.05 at df = 1 X 2 test Acknowledgement I gratefully acknowledge the support and generosity of RSUP M Djamil Padang and subjects who have participated in this research, without which the present 1278 study could not have been completed.
