A Quasi-Experimental Study To Evaluate The Effectiveness Of Structured Teaching Program On Knowledge Regarding Kangaroo Mother Care Among Post-Natal Mothers At Rajshree Medical College & Hospital Bareilly, U.P.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A research on kangaroo care with full-term infants who were having trouble breastfeeding was done in a clinical environment. This clinical experience led to the conclusion that Kangaroo care is a good technique to explore when a woman and her full-term newborn are having trouble latching on successfully. Skin-to-skin contact with the mother improves neurobehavioral development in preterm infants who are not fully formed. In 1979, Colombian doctors Ray and Martinez advised moms to hold their preterm kids skin-to-skin like kangaroos in order to act as "human 16 incubators." Due to the high likelihood of nosocomial infections and lack of resources, it serves as an alternative to NICU treatment. Due to Colombia\u27s experience, several European nations have adopted kangaroo care in their nurseries because of the physiological, mental, and physical advantages it provides for both parents and newborns.
