Abstract
Background
Phototherapy used in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia may have a negative effect on breastfeeding.
Aim
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of kangaroo mother care (KMC) applied to newborns with indirect hyperbilirubinemia on breastfeeding.
Methods
This was a non-randomized experimental study with a control group. The study was conducted with 54 neonates (30 control group, 24 experimental group) who met the inclusion criteria. Under the researcher's supervision, the experimental group received KMC twice during hospitalization, with each session lasting for 1 h, during which phototherapy was temporarily interrupted.
Results
The KMC group had a significantly higher number of breastfeeding episodes, pre-discharge LATCH score, defecation, and a significantly shorter duration of phototherapy compared to those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
KMC applied to newborns with indirect hyperbilirubinemia was found to increase breastfeeding, the LATCH score, and defecations, and decrease the phototherapy duration.
期刊介绍:
Aims & Scope: This is the practical, bimonthly, research-based journal for all professionals concerned with the care of neonates and their families, both in hospital and the community. It aims to support the development of the essential practice, management, education and health promotion skills required by these professionals. The JNN will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between the range of professionals working in this field; promote cooperation between these professionals; facilitate partnership care with families; provide information and informed opinion; promote innovation and change in the care of neonates and their families; and provide an education resource for this important rapidly developing field.
