ANALISIS PERBEDAAN ANTAR PARITAS IBU DENGAN KEMATIAN NEONATAL

Background: Neonatal mortality are still high, in Indonesia that was 25 per thousand live births. Baby’s health can not be separated from the mother’s health. Meanwhile primigravid mother and a grande is a high risk of pregnancy and childbirth. To find out whether there are differences between mothers with parity of neonatal death, it is necessary to do this research. The aim is to tell the difference between maternal parity with the neonatal mortality rates. Methods: This study is cross sectional using Riskesdas 2007 data and analyzed by difference 2 free sample test “Mann Whitney”. Results: Most neonatal deaths in rural areas (75.7%) at the age of 0–6 days for 77.38%, primarily male (62.3%). Mann Whitney test results is mothers primigravid parity differ with grande, because p = 0.01 < α (0.05), And also primigravid parity differ with three parity, because p = 0.04 < a, but no different between primigravid parity with two parity, because p = 0505 > a. Conclusion: Mann-Whitney test demonstrated that primigravid mothers significanty have differences with the three and grande, while the parity to the two did not differ with parity primigravid of neonatal death. Key words: Neonate mortality, parity, Mann-Whitne
