“…Investigation has also shown that the infants are more settled in the kangaroo position (Andersson et al 2003;Charpak et al 2006). In developing countries, KMC is used as a complement to conventional treatment when resources for caring for LBW infants are insufficient, when there are no neonatal facilities, or in hospitals with access to resources, but where demand exceeds supply (Charpak et al 1996;Cattaneo et al 1998;Kirsten et al 2001). According to Bergman (1994) and Charpak et al (2001) the use of KMC in developing countries supports the well being of mother and child and early discharge.…”

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) was first introduced in Mozambique in 1984. The aim of this study was to describe Mozambican mothers' experiences of going through admission, passing from an intensive care ward to a nursery ward with their premature baby, undergoing KMC training before early discharge. A clinical case study was conducted, involving naturalistic observations and a face-to-face interview with 41 mothers participating to complete a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and manifest content analysis were used. The result demonstrate mothers of low socio-economic standard who experienced they were limited informed. The hierarchical organization within the hospital setting as well as communalistic behaviours influenced the mothers' experiences of KMC, including information, communication, support and relationships with the doctors, nurses and assistant nurses. The conclusion is that the proposed clinical KMC guidelines seemed to have been neither fully implemented on the KMC nursing ward nor rooted in the Mozambican community.

“…Interventions, such as encouraging frequent milk expression, skin-to-skin holding (STS), as well as various support groups can enhance lactation, but compliance with these practices is often difficult to achieve for many mothers and their benefits cannot be generalized. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] In recent years, awareness of ethnic/racial impact on health has grown due to the increasing heterogeneity of the American population. Ethnic diversity has been a factor in issues such as pathophysiology, responses to stress, psychological issues and communication between healthcare professionals and patients.…”

Ethnic/racial diversity, maternal stress, lactation and very low birthweight infants

Objective: (1) To compare maternal characteristics and psychological stress profile among African-American, Caucasian and Hispanic mothers who delivered very low birthweight infants. (2) To investigate associations between psychosocial factors, frequency of milk expression, skin-to-skin holding (STS), and lactation performance, defined as maternal drive to express milk and milk volume.Study Design: Self-reported psychological questionnaires were given every 2 weeks after delivery over 10 weeks. Milk expression frequency, STS, and socioeconomic variables were collected.Result: Infant birthweight, education, and milk expression frequency differed between groups. Trait anxiety, depression and parental stress in a neonatal intensive care unit (PSS:NICU) were similar. African-American and Caucasian mothers reported the lowest scores in state anxiety and social desirability, respectively. Maternal drive to express milk, measured by maintenance of milk expression, correlated negatively with parental role alteration (subset of PSS:NICU) and positively with infant birthweight and STS. Milk volume correlated negatively with depression and positively with milk expression frequency and STS.Conclusion: Differences between groups were observed for certain psychosocial factors. The response bias to self-reported questionnaires between groups may not provide an accurate profile of maternal psychosocial profile. With different factors correlating with maintenance of milk expression and milk volume, lactation performance can be best enhanced with a multi-faceted intervention program, incorporating parental involvement in infant care, close awareness and management of maternal mental health, and encouragement for frequent milk expression and STS.

“…Grande parte dessa literatura aponta o MMC como facilitador no processo de amamentação, promovendo o aleitamento materno exclusivo, a melhora da produção láctea materna e a diminuição do uso de suplementação alimentar para os bebês (32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39) .…”

“…Como exemplo, pode-se destacar aqui o relato de duas mulheres/mães, sendo que uma possuía pré-eclâmpsia e a outra eclâmpsia, e que, apesar de toda apreensão, medo e ansiedade, iniciaram o contato pele-a-pele, após receberem estímulos da equipe, e puderam vivenciar, então, momentos de emoção, que foram validados, segundo os autores dos artigos, pela eficácia da amamentação exclusiva e por um forte laço afetivo que se criou entre mãe-filho, manifestado pela comunicação verbal e não-verbal das mulheres/mães e pelas condutas e movimentos corporais dos recém-nascidos (36,49) . Foi encontrado ainda, nas publicações nacionais, um artigo que identifica as representações sociais do aleitamento materno para as mães que vivenciam o MMC.…”

RESUMOEstudo de natureza qualitativa, cujo objetivo é o de identificar o conhecimento que vem sendo produzido e veiculado a respeito do Método Mãe-Canguru (MMC). Foi realizada uma incursão pela literatura, a partir das bases de dados Medline e Lilacs, assim como busca direta aos principais periódicos de enfermagem, durante o período de 1995 a 2004. Foram selecionados 85 artigos, posteriormente catalogados e submetidos à categorização. Após análise dos artigos, foram extraídas quatro categorias sobre a temática. Os resultados levaram à conclusão de que apesar do MMC estar configurando-se como uma mudança paradigmática no cuidado ao recém-nascido, não há total correspondência com a produção teórica, levando a que a prática seja desenvolvida, muitas vezes, sem a devida sustentação teórica. Esta lacuna de conhecimentos dificulta, inclusive, uma adequada avaliação desta prática com relação ao recém-nascido e sua família, mas principalmente no que diz respeito à aplicação do MMC junto à equipe neonatal. Descritores: Método Mãe-Canguru; Prematuro; Enfermagem neonatal; Terapia intensiva neonatal ABSTRACTStudy of a qualitative nature, whose objective is to identify the knowledge that comes out produced and propagated in Brazilians and foreigners periodic, about Kangaroo Mother Method (KMM). An incursion for literature was carried through, from the databases Medline and Lilacs, as well as direct search to main the nursing periodic, during the period from 1995 through 2004. Eight five articles were selected, later catalogued and submitted to categorizes. After analysis of the articles, four categories were extracted on the thematic. The results had led to the conclusion that despite the KMM being configuring itself as a paradigmatic change in the care to the newborn, it does not have total correspondence with the theoretical production, taking the one that the practical one is developed, many times, without had theoretical sustentation. This gap of knowledge makes it difficult, also, one adequate evaluation of this practical with relation to newborn and its family but, mainly, in whom it says respect to the application of KMM together to the neonatal team.Keywords: Kangaroo mother method; Infant, premature; Neonatal nursing; Intensive care neonatal RESUMEN Estudio de naturaleza cualitativa, cuyo objetivo es el de identificar el conocimiento que viene siendo producido y propagado en publicaciones brasileñas y extranjeras, acerca del Método Madre Canguro (MMC).
