Abstract

Background: Providing maternal affection with kangaroo mother care (KMC) is an efficient method. After birth and when the mother is just starting to nurse, this is a common practise. Women who give birth vaginally or via caesarean section can benefit from this easy technique. Aim: Assess the impact of kangaroo care on psychological bonding, placental separation, and maternal anxiety among primiparas women. Design: A quasi-experimental research design. Setting: It was conducted at normal labor units, obstetrics and Gynecology department, Kafrelsheikh general hospital. Subjects: The subjects of this study included 100 mothers divided into a study group (50) & control group (50). Tools: Five tools were used to collect data for this study, Tool I: Structured interviewing questionnaire. Tool II: LATCH breastfeeding assessment tool. Tool III: Apgar score. Tool IV: Maternal-to-Infant Bonding Scale. Tool V: Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale-Research Short-Form Item (PSAS-RSF). Results: There is a high statistically significant difference regarding the duration of the third stage of labor between the study & control groups at p= .000*. There was a statistically negative correlation between Mothers' bonding to Infants and mothers' level of Postpartum Anxiety at p= .000*. Conclusion: Kangaroo care proved benefits for mother and babies, represented in increased level of psychological bonding between mothers and their babies, early successful breastfeeding initiation, easily placental separation, and decreased level of maternal anxiety among primiparas women. Recommendations: Dissemination of the KMC applications in all hospitals and raising awareness about KMC between the nurses and physicians.
