Background: The aim of the study was to compare of mother and newborns abdominal contact and Kangaroo skin on mother's anxiety.
Materials And Methods: This study is a single-blind randomized control trial in 2015. Questionnaire about Demographic and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was completed for two groups.
Results: There was no significant difference in maternal anxiety between kangaroo care and abdominal contact by Mann-Whitney test immediately after birth (Z = -1.33, = 0.42) and after 2 months (Z = -1.47, = 0.86).
Conclusions: The effect of kangaroo contact on mother's anxiety was similar to abdominal contact and if the kangaroo care is done for a short period of time, it will not change maternal anxiety.

Skin-to-skin contact between the mother and baby during the first hour after birth has significant benefits for mother, newborn and breastfeeding. However, optimal implementation is highly variable. The 2023 International Guidelines on skin-to-skin contact in the first hour after birth place high confidence in the evidence that immediate, continuous, uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact should be routine for all mothers and all babies over 1000 g, regardless of mode of delivery.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage is a preventable cause of maternal mortality that commonly occurs during the third stage of labour. Skin-to-skin contact is an intervention that can support the physiological processes of labour by increasing oxytocin levels, which can accelerate placental expulsion and enhance uterine contractions, thereby contributing to the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage.
Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of skin-to-skin contact on key maternal variables during the third stage of labour, including the duration of this stage, placental integrity, the need for manual placental extraction, the administration of therapeutic uterotonics, and the position of the uterine fundus.

Article Synopsis
- Affective touch is essential for infant development, particularly for preterm infants who may lack necessary tactile stimulation, which can influence long-term outcomes.
- Recent studies highlight the role of C-tactile fibers and reveal the positive effects of tactile interventions, such as skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and kangaroo care (KC), in neonatal care settings.
- Implementing these tactile interventions can enhance caregiver-infant bonding, reduce stress, and support neurodevelopment, improving physiological regulation and emotional development in preterm infants in the NICU.

Background: The postpartum period can be emotionally challenging for parents, with documented levels of anxiety, stress, and depression. While the benefits of skin-to-skin contact (SSC) are well-known, its impact on the mental health of parents of full-term newborns has been less studied.
Objective: We aimed to assess the effects of SSC in mental health outcomes in the parents of full-term newborns.
