Summary: Continuous kangaroo mother care (C-KMC) has been confirmed to be effective in reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity among low birthweight and premature infants, but faces implementation challenges. Designing and implementing a C-KMC program using a stages-of-change model can improve the quality of neonatal care.

Summary: This study evaluates the effectiveness of kangaroo mother care (KMC) in reducing the length of hospital stay for preterm and/or low birth weight infants. The results indicate that KMC is a safe and low-cost intervention that has been shown to be effective in reducing the length of hospital stay, especially for infants who undergo the intervention for less than six hours daily.

Summary: This study conducted in The Gambia aimed to investigate the impact of early kangaroo mother care on the survival of neonates weighing less than 2000g. The findings showed that there was no significant difference in the mortality rate within 28 days among neonates receiving the intervention compared to those receiving standard care. There were also no notable differences in secondary outcomes and serious adverse events between the two groups.

Summary: Kangaroo care is an effective method for promoting health and well-being of premature infants and their families. Physiological parameters (heart rate, arterial oxygen saturation, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, and fractional oxygen extraction) show no significant changes during kangaroo care. Further studies with higher methodological quality are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the barriers and enablers for early Kangaroo mother care (KMC) prior to stability from the perspectives of neonatal health care workers (HCW) in a high neonatal mortality resource limited setting. The barriers included unavailability of mothers during early neonatal unit admission, safety concerns, insufficient resources, and lack of privacy and respectful care. The enablers included education of HCW, sensitization of fathers and the community, and peer-to-peer support.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of kangaroo mother care on physiological stress parameters of premature infants. The results showed that kangaroo care can reduce the respiratory rate of preterm infants. However, there were no significant effects on other physiological parameters. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of physiological stress in the neonatal intensive care unit on the development of preterm infants.

Summary: The study found that promoting ciKMC did not increase inequity in survival associated with wealth. The beneficial impact of ciKMC tended to be larger among vulnerable groups, including babies from the lower two wealth quintiles, born to illiterate mothers, and belonging to religions other than Hindu. Supporting mothers to provide KMC at home to low birthweight babies will not increase and could indeed reduce inequities in infant survival.

Summary: This study describes the process of establishing a continuous kangaroo mother care (KMC) unit in a teaching hospital in Iran. A participatory three-stage action research approach was used, including design, implementation, and evaluation. Potential barriers to implementation were identified through interviews with mothers, physicians, nurses, other healthcare personnel, and policy makers. The progress of KMC implementation was evaluated using a standardized tool, and the study findings indicated that participatory action research is a suitable method for studying the establishment of a continuous KMC unit.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether providing Kangaroo mother care (KMC) in infancy affected brain volumes in young adulthood. The results showed that the volumes of the main brain structures associated with intelligence, attention, memory, and coordination were larger in the group that had received KMC. Multivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated the direct relationship between brain volumes and duration of KMC.

Summary: This study aimed to explore caregivers' experiences of providing Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) in hospital and home settings in Bangladesh, in order to assess enablers and barriers to optimal implementation. The results showed that there are favorable conditions for caregivers to provide KMC in Bangladesh, including social support structures and positive attitudes towards the method of care. However, suboptimal implementation was observed due to delays in initiating KMC, difficulties in maintaining skin-to-skin contact, and pain after cesarean section. These findings suggest the need to address these facilitators and barriers in order to scale up the national KMC program.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination adherence among Indonesian adolescents. The results showed that higher levels of knowledge, positive attitudes, and confidence in the vaccine were significantly associated with higher vaccination adherence in adolescents. On the other hand, younger age and habitation in private housing were related to lower adherence to the vaccination program.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the responses of informants to Instagram infographics on Covid-19 prevention for pregnant women. The study used Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) and pretesting communication theory for qualitative research. Purposive sampling was used to select informants, including three pregnant women, a midwifery lecturer, and a visual graphic designer. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews using voice call WhatsApp application, and thematic analysis was used for data analysis. The results showed that the infographics performed well in terms of attraction, comprehension, acceptance, self-involvement, and persuasion. However, there is a need for improvements in terms of attraction and comprehension.

Summary: The study revealed that family caregivers of children with pneumonia in urban areas of Indonesia have low knowledge levels and often consider pneumonia as just a common cold. Their healthcare-seeking behavior typically starts with traditional medicines before seeking professional medical help. Factors such as the location, condition, services, and staff attitude of healthcare facilities influence their choice of services.
