To compare kangaroo mother care (KMC) and conventional cuddling care (CCC) in premature and small-for-gestational-age infants.
Thirty mother-infant dyads in two Australian neonatal nurseries were randomly assigned to the KMC group or the CCC group. Both groups of mothers cuddled their babies for a minimum of two hours a day, five days a week while in the study, with the KMC group having skin-to-skin contact while the CCC group had contact through normal clothing.
The main outcome variables were infant weight gain, temperature maintenance during KMC and CCC, and length of hospital stay.
The results showed no difference between groups on the Parental Stress Scale (NICU) or the Parental Expectations Survey. Infants in both groups experienced equivalent maintenance of or rise in temperature while out of the incubators, equal weight gain, equal length of stay in the hospital, and equal duration of breastfeeding.
比较袋鼠式护理（KMC）和传统搂抱护理（CCC）对早产儿和小于胎龄儿的效果。
澳大利亚两家新生儿重症监护室的30对母婴被随机分为袋鼠式护理组或传统搂抱护理组。在研究期间，两组母亲每天至少搂抱婴儿两小时，每周五天，其中袋鼠式护理组进行皮肤接触，而传统搂抱护理组通过正常衣物接触。
主要结果变量为婴儿体重增加、袋鼠式护理和传统搂抱护理期间的体温维持情况以及住院时间。
结果显示，两组在父母压力量表（新生儿重症监护室）或父母期望调查方面没有差异。两组婴儿在出暖箱期间体温维持情况或升高程度相同，体重增加相同，住院时间相同，母乳喂养时长相同。
