“…Based on previous studies, this was an unexpected finding as the previous studies showed mothers having cesarean births and participating in immediate SSC, had more satisfaction with their birth experience than mothers who did not participate (Moran-Peters, Zauderer, Goldman, Baierlein & Smith, 2014). In this study, that was not the case.…”

“…The results can also provide education for nurses and staff on improved experience with decreased separation of mother and infant immediately after birth, as studies indicate parents prefer to have this experience wit h their newborn (Moran-Peters et al, 2014).…”

“…Despite evidence of SSC with improved outcomes, many hospitals fail to implement this practice into regular use because of the aforementioned perceived barriers in the obstetric setting. Studies of SSC following cesarean delivery however indicate parents prefer to have this experience with their newborns (Zauderer, Goldman, Baierlein & Smith, 2014). Recently, there has been an increase in the study and newborn benefits of SSC immediately after cesarean birth, however there is limited study on the effect SSC has on the patient's overall maternal satisfaction and patient experience.…”

“…Despite the evidence of SSC with improved outcomes such as physiologic stability of mother and newborn, many hospitals fail to implement into daily use because of perceived barriers in the obstetric setting including newborn hypothermia, safety for mother and newborn, staffing issues and increased risk of infection (Phillips, 2013). The evidence however shows parents prefer to have this experience with their newborns (MoranPeters, Zauderer, Goldman, Baierlein & Smith, 2014).…”

Skin-to-Skin contact (SSC) immediately following birth is being recognized as important for mother and infant health and is related to mothers' satisfaction with the birthing experience.SSC immediately following cesarean birth can have similar outcomes, however the practice is not widely adopted. The purpose of this scholarly project was to describe the satisfaction and overall patient experience of birth mothers regarding SSC with their infants immediately following Cesarean Birth. The Modified Questionnaire Measuring Attitudes About Labor and Delivery (QMAALD) measured maternal satisfaction and the Picker Patient Experience survey measured patient experience. Thirty mothers who had a cesarean birth completed both surveys and while there was no relationship between separation time and higher scores, over 80% of the mothers had overall satisfaction and patient experience.

Early skin-to-skin (STS) contact in the OR facilitates the development of mothering behaviors, breastfeeding success, and newborn adaptation to extrauterine life. A team at my institution performed a quality improvement project to implement a standard of care for STS contact in the OR during and after cesarean birth. Thirty-seven of 50 mother-infant dyads experienced STS contact in the OR or in the postanesthesia care unit. Twenty-five mothers and newborns who experienced STS contact did so on the OR bed. The median time newborns spent engaged in STS contact with their mothers was 42 minutes and 30 seconds. Developing and using a standard of care to implement this evidence-based practice facilitated acceptance of this intervention. Obstacles that staff members encountered included maternal or neonatal instability, equipment problems, and nurse staffing issues. Staff members addressed these obstacles through creative problem-solving.
