Abstract

Background and objectives

Mother-infant bonding is the intense attachment that offers the groundwork for the child's forthcoming adaptation and developmental milestones. Kangaroo mother care(KMC) is an evidence-based intervention in preterm LBW infants to enhance growth, development and bonding. We planned this study to evaluate the impact of KMC on mother-infant bonding using a self-administered Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ)

Methods

This prospective observational before-after study was conducted in 50 stable very low birth weight mother-infant dyads in a tertiary NICU over 3 months. We evaluated the impact of KMC in improving mother-infant bonding using the Postpartum bonding questionnaire(PBQ) after 7 days of KMC.

Results

We observed a statistically significant improvement in PBQ scores after 7 days of KMC in three domains - Affective response(p < 0.001), anger and rejection(p 0.023) and confidence and anxiety(p = 0.001).

Conclusions

KMC improves mother infant bonding in domains like affective response, confidence-anxiety and anger-rejection.
