Facilitating Skin-to-Skin Contact In the Postnatal Period
A Skin-to-Skin Contact (SSC) Facilitating Device Used Within a Mother-Infant Dyad: Exploring Its Acceptability, Usage and Effect on Health Outcomes in the Postnatal Period.
연구 개요
상세 설명
Skin-to-skin contact is used as part of a package of Kangaroo Mother Care across the world. This has been demonstrated to reduce neonatal morbidity, mortality, and inpatient stays for low birth weight and preterm infants (Charpak and Ruiz 2016).
This study examines the effect a facilitating garment, the Snuby® has on neonatal health outcomes associated with skin-to-skin contact, such as neonatal thermoregulation, breastfeeding status, and self-reported mother-infant bonding. It uses a mixed methods approach to address quantitative and qualitative outcomes including participant's perspectives, and measurable health markers.
