Clinical Trial Summary

Carrying (or kangaroo carrying) is known to reduce neonatal and child morbidity and mortality and improves the quality of survival of premature and term children during the most fragile growth period, the first thousand days of life. Carrying is also a growing brain protection technique and becomes a routine of care in all neonatal units around the world. In University hospital of Saint-Etienne, the developmental care program has been developed since 2002 in all neonatology units and advocates the practice of skin-to-skin carrying between the parent (father or mother) and his baby, from the time of the hospitalization. Professionals in units who have long been thinking about the concept of attachment and the benefits of skin-to-skin, wish to validate the use of the wearing scarf as a tool for the practice of skin -in-skin in neonatology then back home by performing a randomized monocentric prospective longitudinal study.

Description:

This study it's a single-center, prospective, randomized study to evaluate the benefit of the scarf in the practice of skin-to-skin and portage (PAPSE Group) compared to a Skin-to-Skin and Carry Without Scarf (PAP group).
