Bayi merupakan individu pada fase awal kehidupan yang memerlukan adaptasi fisiologis untuk mempertahankan kestabilan fungsi tubuh setelah lahir. Salah satu kondisi yang membutuhkan asuhan keperawatan komprehensif adalah Bayi Berat Badan Lahir Rendah (BBLR). Bayi BBLR memiliki risiko tinggi mengalami gangguan termoregulasi akibat cadangan lemak subkutan yang terbatas sehingga mudah mengalami hipotermi. Hipotermi pada bayi dapat menimbulkan komplikasi serius seperti gangguan metabolik, penurunan aktivitas, hingga peningkatan risiko kematian neonatal apabila tidak segera ditangani. Salah satu intervensi yang efektif untuk mengatasi hipotermi pada bayi BBLR adalah Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). Tujuan studi kasus ini adalah mengetahui penerapan intervensi Kangaroo Mother Care untuk mengatasi hipotermi pada Bayi Ny. S dengan BBLR di Ruang Bayi Rumah Sakit Sultan Thaha Saifuddin. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan lembar asuhan keperawatan anak dan asuhan keperawatan dilaksanakan selama 3 hari yaitu dari tanggal 9 sampai dengan13 Februari 2026. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Kangaroo Mother Care mampu meningkatkan suhu tubuh bayi secara bertahap, meningkatkan aktivitas bayi, serta memperbaiki kemampuan menyusu. Selain itu, edukasi dan pendampingan yang diberikan membantu menurunkan resiko infeksi pada bayi selama proses perawatan. Disarankan agar tenaga kesehatan khususnya perawat dapat menerapkan Kangaroo Mother Care secara optimal dan berkesinambungan serta meningkatkan edukasi kepada keluarga terkait perawatan bayi BBLR di rumah.

Infants are individuals in the early phase of life who require physiological adaptation to maintain the stability of body functions after birth. One condition that requires comprehensive nursing care is Low Birth Weight Infants (LBWI). LBWI are at high risk of experiencing thermoregulation disorders due to limited subcutaneous fat reserves, making them more susceptible to hypothermia. Hypothermia in infants can lead to serious complications such as metabolic disorders, decreased activity, and an increased risk of neonatal mortality if not treated promptly. One effective intervention to manage hypothermia in LBWI is Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). The purpose of this case study was to identify the implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care intervention in overcoming hypothermia in Baby Ny. S with low birth weight in the Neonatal Room of Sultan Thaha Saifuddin Hospital. The method used was qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected using a pediatric nursing care assessment sheet, and nursing care was carried out for three days, from February 9 to February 13, 2026. The results showed that the implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care was able to gradually increase the infants body temperature, improve the infants activity level, and enhance breastfeeding ability. In addition, the education and assistance provided helped reduce the risk of infection during the treatment process. It is recommended that healthcare workers, especially nurses, implement Kangaroo Mother Care optimally and continuously, as well as improve family education regarding home care management for low birth weight infants.
