Impact of Kangaroo Care on Premature Infants' Circadian Rhythm, Growth, Physiological Stability, and Maternal Milk Hormones: RCT Protocol
Listen to this summary
This study protocol aims to investigate the effects of regular kangaroo care (KC) on the circadian rhythm, growth, and physiological stability of premature infants, while also evaluating the levels of cortisol and melatonin in human milk as secondary outcomes. By comparing an experimental group receiving KC to a control group receiving standard care, the researchers seek to determine whether KC facilitates the maturation of circadian rhythms and supports overall infant development. The findings are expected to inform clinical practices and guide future research in neonatal care.
