Clinical Trial Summary

This project aims at testing the effect of applying the KMC on the premature infants' physiological outcomes. The findings of this project are expected to contribute to the discipline of preterm infants' care by providing evidence of the benefits, barriers, and facilities of providing the KMC in our Jordanian NICUs.


Clinical Trial Description

Premature infants are often unable physiologically to adapt well to the stressful environment of the NICU. These neonates are commonly at risk for the development of short and long term outcomes ranging from mild developmental delay to severe disability. The Kangaroo mother care approach (KMC) is developed to minimize the effect of prematurity and the NICU environmental stressors on premature infants. This project aims at assessing the neonatal nurses' knowledge and attitudes of the application of the KMC approach in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), testing the effect of applying the KMC on the premature infants' physiological outcomes, and exploring the mothers' lived experiences of providing KMC for their premature infants. The findings of this project are expected to contribute to the discipline of preterm infants' care by providing evidence of the benefits, barriers, and facilities of providing the KMC in our Jordanian NICUs. ;
