Background: Low birth weight continues to be a significant public health problem globally. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a promising intervention to improve the survival of low birth weight babies. KMC comprises of early and continuous skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby as well as exclusive breastfeeding. More interest has given to initiate KMC at the health facility for low birth weight babies born at home but, there has been trace evidence to support initiation of KMC at home. Thus, this study was aimed at to estimate the proportion of mothers who continued to practice kangaroo mother care at home and identify factors influencing this practice following hospital discharge. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study of 190 mothers with their low birth weight babies who were discharged from KMC unit at Dessie referral and Akesta hospitals and counseled about KMC to practice at home. In the first week following hospital discharge the data collectors visited the mothers to interviewe her about KMC practice and the factors influencing it; and analyzed by SPSS V.25.0. Crud odd ratio and adjusted odd ration were performed to test the association between dependent and independent variables. Result: The proportion of mothers who practice KMC at home was 89 (46.8%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that support from husband (AOR= 4.4, 95% CI = 1.8-10.4), support from HEW(AOR=3.4, 95% CI = 1.6-7.2), availability of helper (AOR= 4.5, 95% CI= 1.9-4.10) and mothers explained the important of KMC (AOR =2.3,95% CI =1.1- 4.9) were statistically associated with KMC practice at home. Conclusion: This study concludes that support comes from husband, health extension workers and family and the mothers understanding of importance of KMC were found to be the significant enhancing factors to implement KMC at home.

Most causes of infant death are problems that occur in newborn/neonatal (0-28 days old), Low Birth Weight Babies (LBW) is one of the factors which has a contribution to infant mortality, especially in the neonatal period. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is a benchmark in determining the degree of public health, both at the National and Provincial levels. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method (KMC) on the prevention of hypothermia in low birth weight infants at Morowali District Hospital in 2019. The type of research used was a quasi-experiment. The population is all low birth weight babies born from May to July 2019. The sample in this study was all newborns with low birth weight born from May to July 2019, totaling 30 babies. There is a difference (influence) on the baby's body temperature before and after KMC with a p-value=0,000. The kangaroo mother care can continue to be affiliated considering its benefits for both infants and mothers, as well as increasing the ability of health workers in conducting KMC so that they can provide in-house training for mothers to be carried out at home.

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is one of the risk factor for neurodevelopmental delay. The present study was undertaken to assess the role of the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) in the neurodevelopmental outcome of low birth weight babies. Methods: The present study was undertaken at Department of Paediatrics, Jawarharlal Medical college, Belgaum during the period from January 2009 to October 2010. The study includes 80 stable LBW babies were randomized into 40 in the KMC group and 40 in convention method of care group. 36 babies in the KMC group and 33 babies in the CMC group completed the study. The Neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed by the Amiel Tison test at three, six, nine and twelfth months of age. This was compared with BSID test, at one year.Results: The neurosensory examination and passive muscle tone (PMT) were found to be abnormal. Majority of the babies in both groups has a normal neurosensory and PMT development at one year. Statistically significant to muscle tone deficit was observed in the CMC babies at six months and nine months (p = 0.005 and p = 0.013). With respect to BSID, 16 and 29 KMC babies had a normal Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) and Motor Development Index (MDI) scores when compared to 8 and 18 CMC babies (p = 0.003 and p = 0.057 respectively). Number of babies with significant delay was observed to be higher in the CMC group being 11 versus 1 for PDI scores and 4 versus 1 for MDI scores.Conclusions: The present study shows that KMC has a beneficial effect on the neurodevelopmental outcome of low birth weight babies and BSID II is a better test to detect the psychomotor and mental developmental delay when compared to the Amiel Tison test.

Abstract: According to the statistical assessment nearly 20 million low-birth-weight (LBW) babies are born each year, because of either preterm birth or impaired prenatal growth, mostly in less developed countries. They contribute substantially to a high rate of neonatal mortality whose frequency and distribution correspond to those of poverty. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is an effective way to meet baby’s needs for warmth, breastfeeding, protection from infection, stimulation, safety and love. Kangaroo mother care is care of preterm infants carried skin-to-skin with the mother. It is a powerful, easy-to-use method to promote the health and well-being of infants born preterm as well as full-term. KMC facilitates the initiation and establishment of breastfeeding in small infants and it normalize infant physiology improves weight gain and provide sense of security to the baby. It has been demonstrated that Kangaroo Mother Care is associated with increased survival and reduced hospital. Objectives 1) To assess the level of knowledge among the post-natal mothers of low-birth-weight babies regarding kangaroo mother care in selected hospital of Vrindavan. 2) To correlate the knowledge regarding Kangaroo Mother Care among the post-natal mothers of low-birth-weight babies with selected demographic variables. Methodology: This study was conducted to assess knowledge among the post-natal mothers regarding Kangaroo mother care in selected Hospital in Vrindavan, Mathura and the descriptive study design was selected. Population selected was post-natal mothers and sample size were 60.the consent was taken. The subjects were selected by convenient sampling technique. The structured questionnaires were distributed to the mothers of selected Low birth weight babies to assess their level of regarding Kangaroo Mother Care after obtaining an informed consent. Data was collected by using Structured Knowledge Questionnaire. A significant association was found between knowledge score and type of family and dietary habit whereas no significant association was found with age, religion, occupation of father, educational status of mother, family income and residential status Results: The study revealed that the level of knowledge among the mothers is 42(70%) had inadequate knowledge and 12(20%) had moderately adequate knowledge and 06(10%) had adequate knowledge regarding Kangaroo Mother Care. The chi-square test revealed that there was no significant association with age, occupation, monthly income, place of living, type of marriage, type of family, number of children and but there was significant association between religion.

Behavior of caring for babies with low birth weight (LBW) is a reaction or response to the condition of LBW babies which is divided into three domains, namely knowledge, attitudes and actions. Good behavior of mothers in caring for infants with LBW will have an impact on reducing mortality and morbidity rates for infants and toddlers. Descriptive research was conducted with the aim of knowing the level of knowledge, attitudes and actions of mothers in caring for LBW babies at home. The sample in this study were 30 mothers who had LBW babies aged 1 year, residing in Medan and had been taking care of them at home. This research uses purposive sampling technique. The results showed that the mother's behavior in caring for LBW babies at home for the majority knowledge domain was good (100%), for the attitude domain the majority is positive (100%) and for the action domain the majority is good (100%). It is concluded that knowledge, attitudes, actions in this study are in line with behavioral theory. It is recommended to conduct research by exploring the factors that support the formation of a good level of knowledge, positive attitudes and good actions.
