About

When a newborn is delivered in good physiological condition, immediate skin-to-skin contact with the mother is required. Skin-to-skin contact has a wide range of benefits for both mother and baby. The implementation time can start from the birth of the newborn and continue until thereafter. There are benefits both in the short and long term, such as physiological stability, parent-child relationship development, and stability of children's behavioral development. There were 108 cases admitted and the attrition rate was 10%. Therefore, the total number of cases admitted was 118, divided into experimental groups and control groups, and intervention measures were implemented in the experimental group. From the 1st to the 30th day after delivery, there is 1 hour of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby every day. Fill out the Sleep Quality Visual Analog Scale, Maternal Confidence Scale, and Mother-Infant Bonding Scale on the day after delivery and at one month later.

Full description

According to the World Health Organization's clinical care guidelines for childbirth, neonatal care in the third stage of labor: When the newborn is delivered in good physiological condition, it needs to have skin-to-skin contact with the mother immediately. Skin-to-skin contact has extensive benefits for both mother and baby. The implementation time can start from the birth of the newborn and continue thereafter. It has benefits in both the short and long term, such as physiological stability, parent-child relationship development, and child behavioral development stability, etc. Therefore, this study was designed as a quasi-experimental study, using a random method to accept cases. The number of admitted cases was 128, and the attrition rate was 10%. Therefore, the total number of admitted cases was 140, divided into experimental groups and control groups, with intervention measures for the experimental group, and intervention measures. From the 1st to 30th day after delivery, there was 1 hour of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby every day. On the postpartum day and at the full moon, the sleep quality visual analog scale, maternal confidence scale, and mother-infant bonding scale were filled in, and the statistical method was chi-square. Test, independent sample t test, sample t test, Pearson correlation test, simple regression analysis of the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables and the difference between the experimental group and the control group.
