Premature Birth Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Kangaroo Holding on Maternal Stress Levels
The primary objective is to determine if kangaroo holding in the first week after birth
influences the stress levels of mothers who have delivered their infants prematurely and who
require admission to the Special Care Nursery (SCN).
Hypothesis: There will be a decrease in maternal stress levels as perceived by mothers and
as reflected in their blood pressures and heart rates after kangaroo holding their premature
infants in the SCN.
