This report describes a rooming-in program based on allocation of resources to patients in accord with their health needs. It outlines the advantages of having the healthy infant kept with the mother continually during the puerperium. This promotes easier psychological adaptation of mother and infant, reduces the incidence of cross-infection in the hospital, encourages breast-feeding, and paves the way for providing the newborn with regular checkups at peripheral health centers. The report also points out the need to instill a strong instructional component into the roomin-in program. The basic elements of the overall program are maternal training based on indivisual instruction, group discussion sessions accompanied with instructional slides, and participation by the mother in the care of her infant under supervision of the midwifery team. The adoption of a program of this nature does not imply an increase in existing human and material resources, but rather a rationalization of the distribution of present resources and the added contribution of the mother's active participation in helping to care for her child.
本报告描述了一个母婴同室项目，该项目根据患者的健康需求分配资源。报告概述了在产褥期让健康婴儿持续与母亲在一起的诸多益处。这有助于母婴更轻松地进行心理调适，降低医院内交叉感染的发生率，鼓励母乳喂养，并为新生儿在周边健康中心接受定期检查铺平道路。报告还指出，有必要在母婴同室项目中融入强有力的指导内容。整个项目的基本要素包括基于个别指导的产妇培训、配有教学幻灯片的小组讨论环节，以及母亲在助产团队监督下参与对其婴儿的护理。采用这种性质的项目并不意味着要增加现有的人力和物力资源，而是要使现有资源的分配更加合理，并借助母亲积极参与照料孩子带来额外的助力。
