Abstract

Introduction: Kangaroo Mother Care is a valuable technique recognized for its impact on bonding, breastfeeding, and thermoregulation in newborn infants, transcending considerations of weight, gestational age, or clinical condition.

Objective: This study aimed to assess mothers' feelings and perceptions regarding the implementation of the Kangaroo Mother Care procedure.

Method: In this qualitative investigation, individual interviews were conducted with 25 postnatal mothers who had experienced Kangaroo Mother Care with their infants. While, 12 unique responses were acquired. These interviews served as a means to explore and document the mothers' perspectives on Kangaroo Mother Care. The analysis of field notes identified four themes and one subtheme, which were coded into categorical distinctions.

Results: A total of 25 postnatal mothers, along with their newborns participated in this study. The majority of postnatal mothers fall within the age range of 20-30 years (48%), followed by 30-40 years (40%), Regarding newborn, majority were full-term (64%), followed by premature (28%) The findings revealed several significant outcomes. Mothers reported a marked improvement in their perception of Kangaroo Mother Care, describing reduced pain, enhanced comfort, and an overall positive sentiment. Many expressed that practicing KMC was a novel and delightful experience, marking their first engagement in this procedure. Moreover, a majority expressed a willingness to continue Kangaroo Mother Care in the future, hoping for its continued implementation within hospital settings. This enthusiasm aligns with recognizing Kangaroo Mother Care as a priority in nursing mother care.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the study underscores the potential benefits and positive impact of Kangaroo Mother Care on mother's experience. The findings advocate for the broad implementation of Kangaroo Mother Care as a valuable strategy in neonatal care, offering a holistic approach to improving the well-being of both mothers and newborns. These insights emphasize the importance of promoting and integrating Kangaroo Mother Care into neonatal care protocols, contributing to enhanced neonatal health and maternal satisfaction.

实施袋鼠妈妈护理的产后母亲的经验和表达:定性研究。
简介:袋鼠式母婴护理是一项公认的重要技术,它对新生儿的亲子关系、母乳喂养和体温调节都有影响,且不受体重、胎龄或临床状况的影响:本研究旨在评估母亲对实施袋鼠式母亲护理程序的感受和看法:在这项定性调查中,我们对 25 位曾与婴儿一起体验过袋鼠妈妈护理的产后母亲进行了个别访谈。共收到 12 份独特的回复。这些访谈是探索和记录母亲们对袋鼠妈妈护理的看法的一种手段。对现场记录的分析确定了四个主题和一个次主题,并对其进行了分类编码:共有 25 位产后母亲和她们的新生儿参与了这项研究。大多数产后母亲的年龄在 20-30 岁之间(48%),其次是 30-40 岁(40%);新生儿方面,大多数是足月儿(64%),其次是早产儿(28%)。母亲们表示,她们对袋鼠式母婴护理的看法有了明显改善,认为疼痛减轻了,舒适度提高了,总体感觉良好。许多人表示,第一次使用袋鼠式护理是一次新奇而愉快的体验。此外,大多数人表示愿意在未来继续开展袋鼠妈妈护理,希望在医院环境中继续实施。这种热情与将 "袋鼠妈妈 "护理作为护理母亲的优先事项是一致的:总之,本研究强调了袋鼠妈妈护理对母亲体验的潜在益处和积极影响。研究结果主张广泛实施袋鼠妈妈护理,将其作为新生儿护理的一项重要策略,提供一种全面的方法来改善母亲和新生儿的福祉。这些见解强调了推广袋鼠妈妈护理并将其纳入新生儿护理规程的重要性,有助于提高新生儿健康和产妇满意度。
