Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of kangaroo care guideline-based training for nurses on nurses' knowledge level, kangaroo care practices and Attitude Towards Evidence-Based Nursing scale scores.

The study was parallel group (experimental-control), randomized controlled experimental design with pretest-posttest design.

It was carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit of Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital in Konya province. Study data were collected from 32 newborn nurses between October 2022 and January 2023. Premature infants in the intervention (n = 16) and control groups (n = 16) were determined by randomization method.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Neonatal nurses in the intervention group were trained on the kangaroo care guide, but no application was made to the control group. Data were collected using the BP Information Form, BP Practice status, and the Attitudes Toward Evidence-Based Nursing Scale. Data were collected as a pretest before the application and as a posttest after the application. Pearson Chi-Square Test, Yates Correction and Fisher's Exact Test were used to compare categorical data according to groups. Two Independent Sample t Test was used to compare normally distributed variables and Mann Whitney U Test was used to compare non-normally distributed variables. Statistical significance level was accepted as p˂0.05.
