Full description
Researcher will follow existing guidelines for shifting of infant from incubator to the mother's chest. The researcher will assist the mothers to have the baby from the incubator and to sit in the special KMC chair and bed. Urine will be collected from premature infants before and after KMC/Incubator care on third day of life by applying urine collection bag. This method is highly successful in collecting urine non-invasively. Collected urine is then placed in ice box till transportation to lab at University of Health sciences(UHS). and stored at -80 °C. After completion of data collection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA kit of Oxidative stress biomarker (Allantoin) will be used for checking level of Allantoin in stored samples within a week. Mothers of both the KMC and control groups will be given the Mother-infant bonding scale (MIBS) self-rating instrument on 3rd Day postpartum before and after KMC and incubator care for bonding assessment.
