| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: Baby with cleft lip and palate are underweight due to inadequate nutritional status,
which puts their physical growth at risk. This can have an impact on malnutrition. The aim of
the research is to determine the relationship between cleft type and body weight (nutritional
status) in baby. Methods: The research design uses a cross-sectional study. The sample of
respondents was 110 baby with cleft lip and palate taken using consecutive sampling technique.
Respondent inclusion criteria include: baby age 0-5 years. Place of data collection at Paru
Jember Hospital. Research data was taken from 2023 to 2024 and informed consent was
obtained from respondents. Data collection uses physical examination of respondents. The
research data were subjected to bivariate analysis tests, namely Spearman's rho and z score
using SPSS statistical software. Results: The results of the study showed that the types of clefts
included: unilateral cleft lip as much as 46.9%, cleft palate as much as 20.3%, unilateral cleft
lip and palate as much as 4.9%, bilateral cleft lip 2.8%, bilateral cleft lip and palate as much as
2.1%. Based on body weight (nutritional status), it was found: undernourished 4.9%, normal
62.2%), overweight (9.8%). The results of statistical tests using Spearman's rho show a value
of p = 0.755 (p > 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.30, which means there is no strong
relationship between the type of cleft and body weight (nutritional status). The z score result of
the type of cleft lip on body weight (nutritional status) is 1.759 ± 1-5, which is a positive value,
which means that babies who have various types of cleft lip do not have a risk of malnutrition,
but on the contrary, the baby's weight increases (nutritional status). Babies who have various
types of cleft lip do not have a risk of malnutrition, but on the contrary, the baby's weight
(nutritional status) increases. This is due to the factor of providing proper nutrition by parents
to babies. Providing nutrition in the right and regular manner and using the right tools can
increase nutritional intake. Conclusions: There is no relationship between cleft type and baby's
