Objetivo: Analisar a vivência de puérperas durante a hospitalização do prematuro na primeira etapa do Método Canguru (MC) e conhecer como o primeiro contato pele a pele entre mãe e filho através da posição canguru colabora com esta vivência. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório e qualitativo, respeitando a Resolução 196/96 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde, realizado através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com doze puérperas, em outubro de 2010. Resultados: A análise de conteúdo evidenciou que puérperas vivenciam um período de estresse no início da hospitalização do prematuro na primeira etapa do MC, representada pelo abandono das atividades diárias e da família. Conclusão: A realização da posição canguru proporcionou a expressão de sentimentos relacionados à felicidade da puérpera ao se perceber uma verdadeira mãe, já que pode participar de forma indireta do cuidado do filho e promover condições para o seu desenvolvimento.

Physiologic Data

Instrumentation capable of handling 12 continuous hours of nine-channel real-time physiologic data sampled at 10Hz was needed to test within and between subject variability and preterm infant responses to skin-to-skin contact with the mother. A review of basic electrical components, electrical principles related to physiologic monitoring, and electrophysiology concepts generic to physiologic monitoring is presented. The development, specifications and applications of a new instrument to monitor premature infant cardiorespiratory adaptations are discussed.

"Kangaroo baby care" or "skin-to-skin contact" describes the practice of holding a preterm infant naked (except for a diaper) between the mother's breasts. The baby's face pokes out of the top of the mother's dress like a baby kangaroo's. Rey and Martinez in Bogota, Colombia1 pioneered the home care of premature infants as small as 1000 g, the mother being taught to hold her baby head-up kangaroo-style to encourage lactation, prevent aspiration, and reduce rejection. Education and motivation of the mother in the care of preterm infants makes obvious sense in the developing world, but kangaroo baby care has also been applied in many developed countries in conjunction with neonatal intensive care rather than as a replacement for incubators and monitors.2-4

ABSTRACT Background: Premature birth is most often challenge with many health issues such as low birth weight. Kangaroo position is the practice of skin-to-skin contact between an infant and parents and was found to be an effective intervention for improving weight gain in premature infant. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of kangaroo mother care to elevate infant weight in premature infants. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. This study collected published articles from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, and using randomized control trial study design. The study population was premature infants. The intervention was kangaroo mother care. The comparison was conventional care. The outcome was infant weight. The selected articles were analyzed using RevMan 5.3. Results: 9 articles were met the study criteria. This study had high heterogeneity between groups (I2= 89%; p<0.001). Kangaroo mother care was higher elevated infant weight than conventional method (Standardized Mean Difference= 0.60; 95% CI= 0.17 to 1.03; p= 0.006). Conclusion: Kangaroo mother care is effective to elevate infant weight in premature infants. Keywords: Kangaroo mother care, infant weight, preterm infant Correspondence: Ines Ratni Pravitasari.

ABSTRACTKangaroo mother care (KMC) involves infant skin-to-skin contact with the mother from as soon as possible after birth, exclusive breastfeeding, early discharge from the health facility, and supportive follow-up at home. Much evidence supports use of KMC clinically as an aid to mitigating some detrimental features of prematurity. This article—the second of two—explores impairments in brain development because of uncongenial inputs from the postnatal therapeutic environment of premature infants, not encountered in utero, and some of their negative neurobehavioral, psychosocial, sociocultural, and economic implications. It is concluded that evidence favoring the use of KMC in stable preterm infants is very strong and that, as noted by others, barriers to implementation of KMC, apart from infant infirmity, are mainly because of hesitancy from parents, health-care professional, and/or institutions, which may be unfounded.
