AI Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the impact of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) on mothers' resilience and their confidence in breastfeeding, utilizing role-play as a training method in a neonatal intensive care unit.
- - A randomized controlled trial was conducted with mothers divided into intervention and control groups, where the intervention group received role-play training, and their results were measured through questionnaires before and after the training.
- - The results showed significant improvements in resilience and breastfeeding self-efficacy for mothers who participated in the role-play training compared to those who did not, suggesting that KMC training is beneficial and should be implemented in clinical practices.
Article Abstract
Background: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) offers several benefits for neonates and mothers. Although many studies have evaluated the effectiveness of KMC on infants, only few studies have examined the effects on mothers. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of KMC on maternal resilience and breastfeeding self-efficacy via the role-play method in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial. Mothers were randomized into two groups. Mothers in the intervention group were trained using the role-play method. Questionnaires were administered before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 22.
Results: The training demonstrated a statistically significant difference in resilience score and breastfeeding self-efficacy in each group after the intervention. In addition, a statistically significant difference was revealed between both groups in resilience scores and breastfeeding self-efficacy after the intervention.
Conclusions: KMC training with the role-play method was most effective. Role-play and routine methods are recommended as methods of therapeutic care in clinical settings to improve maternal resilience and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
