Development of A Referral System Using Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) Intervention for Low Birth Weight Babies PEER-USAID FACULTY OF PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITAS INDONESIA HADI PRATOMO AND TEAM AIPI MEETING JAKARTA, 18 MAY 2017
Background KMC is one of proven low cost methods in improving the condition of low birth weight babies. Babies with KMC had lower lengths of hospitalization, higher proportion who were exclusively breastfed, decrease in incubator use, and lower antibiotic use (Broughton, 2013). It reduces the need for expensive equipment such as incubators and also highly skilled medical personnel à can be applied in low-resource settings (Cattaneo, 1998). Implementation of KMC still low, even in low resources setting countries. Lack of knowledge and confidence in KMC method among health personnels à prevent its uptake in health facilities (Dalal, 2014; Chan, 2016).
KMC Definition: A universally available and biologically sound method of care for all newborns but in particular for premature babies with 3 components: Skin-to-skin contact, Exclusive breastfeeding, and Support to mother-infant dyad Http://www/kangaroomothercare.com/whatis01.ht m

Goal and Objectives Goal : To improve the survival of the LBWI (Low Birth Weight Infants) using the KMC (Kangaroo Mother Care) Objectives : To address LBWI problems, especially those weighing 1200-2200 grams To improve its referral system using KMC as a means of transporting from hospital to community To promote the sustainability of the KMC for increasing its survival as well as reduction of both mortality and morbidity of the newborn.
Methods The study will consist of qualitative (formative research) and quantitative approaches. The purposes of qualitative research: to obtain an effective, acceptable and sustainable intervention. To fine tune the proposed intervention adjusted to the existing condition. A quantitative study will follow.
Purpose of study: The purposes of quantitative study (before and after intervention) : To obtain and compare baseline and endlines situation regarding newborn outcomes. To compare outcomes in the two district hospitals (preferably, hospitals within EMAS project in West Java will be selected) INTERVENTION: The intervention will consist : training and refresher training on breastfeeding and KMC practices, including KMC as the means of transporting the baby. The target : health personnel at hospital and community levels, as well as cadres, the mothers and families.
Population and Sample Primary target population à families with LBWI born in hospital setting (over a period of 6 months) Location à North Jakarta and Karawang District, West Java STUDY IMPLENTATION PLAN: 2015-2018

PROJECT EVENTS 20 events were held during January until March 2017 Participated by 673 females and 106 males Outreach and Collaboration An informal visit was made to Gunung Jati General Hospital, Cirebon, West Java (January 18, 2017). Collaboration was also made with the Indonesian Midwife Association (IMA/IBI) chapter of North Jakarta and Karawang district. On March 31, 2017 a special discussion was made in which two private companies namely PT Perina Medika Edutama and PT Sijari Emas on ICT issues of referral of maternal and newborn emergencies.
Technical Research Presentation Technical presentation was made on January 17, 2017 in which the PEER KMC research team organized dissemination of KMC baseline to stakeholders namely Ministry of Health (Director of Family Health). Team also presented project s technical presentation to both hospital in Karawang and Koja (January 26 in Karawang Hospital and February 2 in Koja Hospital). International KMC workshop (Trieste, Italy), November 13-16, 2016 International Meeting on Public Health, Jakarta, February 6-8, 2017 International KMC seminar, Da Nang, May 12, 2017
Potential Development Impact KMC Training for health personnel Our training for health personnel on KMC has been participated by more than 210 health personnel in hospital and 197 health personnel in the community in both areas (Karawang district and North Jakarta municipality) Pilot test of referral system In our activities, we tried to pilot testing of a relatively new model of referral of low birth weight infants (LBWIs) discharged from the hospitals to primary health care personnel.
Policy change In Koja hospital The Director and management of Koja hospital has been decided to change their Strategic Plan documents to include KMC in their annual strategic plan for hospital services. In Karawang Hospital The supports are in form of planning for additional special room for KMC and other infrastructure such as KMC clothes and involvement of Obstetric unit in implementing KMC practices since antenatal care. The hospital also formed 5 teams to be responsible in practicing KMC in the hospital, consist of pediatricians, obstetricians, nurses, midwives, and management.
Future Plans Finalization instruments of KMC implementation and Monitoring and Evaluation both in the hospital and community Preparation for data collection and Implementation of KMC We plan to do external and internal M&E to both hospitals in each of wards that are included in the study (i.e.: ANC clinic, Delivery, Perinatal, NICU, and Rooming-in Ward). The M&E is planned to be done 3 times during the 6-7 months data collection. Establishing a continuum of care mechanism for small infants using KMC methods as mode of transferring infant back home, and continue to practice KMC until the baby is graduated from KMC (reached weight of 2,500 gram on 40 weeks).
Plan for follow up to the community
Baby <2200 gr received KMC Baby discharged Baby at home received KMC and supervise by HC staff (n = 70 baby) Discharged of criteria: - Weight: 1800 g / return to birth weight > 1800 g - Vital signs stable - Weight increase 15 gr/kg/day for 2-3 days - Able to suck/direct breastfeeding or with cup feeding Return to HC for immunization Health Center Supervision Accompanied by HC staff Hospital staff provide information on patients to HC staff 2 nd control to hospital At home, baby continue received KMC 1 st control to hospital Refer to Type A hospital for eyes, hearing, neurology and growth screening
