Study Groups

Experimental group

Newborns in this group will be given kangaroo care by both their mother and father.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kangaroo care practice by both mother and father

Intervention Type OTHER

In this group, kangaroo care will be done by both mother and father. Mothers used the Mother-Infant Attachment Scale and the Perceived Maternal Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale as pretests; Fathers will also complete the Postpartum Father-Infant Attachment Survey and the Perceived Father Parenting Self-Efficacy Form. Mothers and fathers in the application group will be provided with kangaroo care for 45 minutes, 2 days a week for 5 weeks. The baby's vital signs will be monitored 30 minutes before each kangaroo care, at the 15th minute of each kangaroo care, and 30 minutes after the kangaroo care, and will be recorded on the Kangaroo Care Monitoring Form. After kangaroo care was completed at the end of 5 weeks, mothers used the Mother-Baby Attachment Scale and the Perceived Mother Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale as posttests; Postnatal Father-Infant Attachment Questionnaire and Perceived Father Parenting Self-Efficacy Form will be filled out by fathers.

Control group

Newborns in this group will be given kangaroo care by only the mother.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR
