目的：本研究旨在（i）通过随机对照试验研究袋鼠妈妈护理（KMC）对极低出生新生儿母乳喂养率、体重增加和住院时间的影响，以及（ii）评估护士和母亲对袋鼠妈妈护理的可接受性。方法：出生体重小于1500克的婴儿在稳定后纳入研究。通过对28例极低出生体重儿进行随机对照试验，研究袋鼠妈妈护理对母乳喂养率、体重增加和住院时间的影响。袋鼠组（n=14）接受袋鼠妈妈护理，每天至少4小时，不超过3次。婴儿从NICU转出后在家里接受了袋鼠护理。对照组（n=14）仅接受标准护理（恒温箱或开放式护理系统）。在开始袋鼠护理后第3+-1天和第7+-1天，使用Likert量表进行问卷调查，评估母亲和护士对KMC的态度。结果如下：临床试验结果显示，KMC组新生儿出生后第一周体重增加更好（KMC组和对照组分别为15.9 ± 4.5 gm/d vs. 10.6 ± 4.5 gm/d，P
Objective: This study was conducted (i) to study through a randomized control trial the effect of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) on breast feeding rates, weight gain and length of hospitalization of very low birth neonates and (ii) to assess the acceptability of Kangaroo Mother Care by nurses and mothers. Methods: Babies whose birth weight was less than 1500 Grams were included in the study once they were stable. The effect of Kangaroo Mother Care on breast feeding rates, weight gain and length of hospitalization of very low birth weight neonates was studied through a randomized control trial in 28 neonates. The Kangaroo group (n=14) was subjected to Kangaroo Mother Care of at least 4 hours per day in not more than 3 sittings. The babies received Kangaroo Care after shifting out from NICU and at home. The control group (n=14) received only standard care (incubator or open care system). Attitude of mothers and nurses towards KMC was assessed on Day 3+-1 and on day 7+-1 after starting Kangaroo Care in a questionnaire using Likert's scale. Results: The results of the clinical trial reveal that the neonates in the KMC group demonstrated better weight gain after the first week of life (15.9+-4.5 gm/day vs. 10.6+-4.5 gm/day in the KMC group and control group respectively p
