Infant deaths generally occur in the early neonatal period due to hypothermia. The incidence of hypothermia in newborns is quite high, globally ranging from 8.5-52%, an estimated 17 million newborns experience hypothermia in developing countries. The incidence of hypothermia in newborn babies is 92.3%, the infant mortality rate due to hypothermia is 6.3%. One intervention to minimize the incidence of hypothermia in newborn babies is to initiate early breastfeeding. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of early initiation of breastfeeding on hypothermia in newborn babies at the Bakti Timah Karimun Hospital. The research method used a pre-experiment with a one group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique was purposive sampling with 14 respondents. The measuring instruments in this study were a digital axillary thermometer, standard operating procedures (SOP) for early breastfeeding initiation and observation sheets. Data analysis using paired sample t-test. The results of the paired sample t-test found a p-value = 0.000 (p<0.05), so it can be concluded that there is an influence of early initiation of breastfeeding on hypothermia in newborn babies in the Midwifery Room at Bakti Timah Karimun Hospital. Early initiation of breastfeeding can be used as an intervention for newborns to minimize the incidence of hypothermia

Nifas infections that attack the breast or the mastitis are caused by bacterial contamination when nipple abrasions. Infections in the lungs can occur in mothers who receive general anesthesia. Phlebitis caused by contaminated syringes. Cleanliness of body, clothing, bed, and environment are vital to maintaining. Admission of hygiene would have prevented germs in nifas' mother's body. When a mother bathes it is recommended to wash all the bodies as far as perineum with soap. The midwife was instrumental in providing support during the nifas days. The research design used in this study is a correlative descriptive research design with a cross sectional approach which aims to determine the relationship between the characteristics of respondents and the implementation of postpartum infection prevention at Charis Medika Hospital, Batam in 2023. From the research results, the characteristics of the respondents were asked about in this study. namely age, education and work experience. Descriptive data on the ages of respondents obtained that the lowest age was 22 years and the highest age was 56 years. Data collection in this research starts from April to June 2023.

. Phlebitis is the area of skin around an intravascular catheter that is swollen, red, hot and painful. The aim of this research is to find out how nurses prevent phlebitis in patients. For this research, the design used is descriptive. The population consisted of all inpatients who were placed on an IV by a nurse in the emergency room and then admitted to the hospital. Data was collected using probability sampling techniques using the Slovin formula for 69 samples, using checklists and observation sheets, and analyzed using frequency distribution. The results of research conducted on 69 nurses in the Thamrin Medan inpatient room showed that there was an increase in the actions of respondents before the training was carried out. The majority had "bad" actions, namely 39 people (65.5%), 30 people (43.5%) had "good" actions. %). After the phlebitis prevention training was carried out, the results showed that those with "bad" actions decreased to 24 people (34.8%) and those with "good" actions increased to 45 people (65.2%). The results of the study showed that nurses' actions in preventing phlebitis averaged a score of 8, a minimum score of 4 and a maximum score of 10. This happened because the majority of nurses had taken action to prevent nosocomial infections well, so it was seen that there was a change in nurses' behavior before and after after training in phlebitis prevention at Bunda Thamrin Hospital, Medan.    

Introduction : Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI) or phlebitis is defined by the CDC as a bloodstream infection confirmed by laboratory results that occurs within 48 hours before developing into bacteremia, and is not associated with infection in other parts. Some research results conclude that several factors influence the occurrence of phlebitis, one of which is the selection of the insertion site. Purpose: to determine the effect of the insertion location of the infusion on the incidence of phlebitis. Design: Literature review method using Google Scholar and the Portal Garuda as database  (2018-2022). Method : keywords "location of infusion and phlebitis incident". Results: From 14 reviewed articles, it was found that the incidence of phlebitis due to insertion site factors was influenced by the selection of the vein, the distance between the infusion site and the joint and the selection of the dominant extremity (which is often used for activities). Conclusion: Infusion is done by selecting a good vein, choose a vein that is far from the joint (minimum > 3.5 cm distance from the joint), Avoid choosing a vein in the location or extremity dominant to minimize the movement of the intravenous catheter when the patient moves.
