Skin-to-skin SDF positioning: The key to intersubjective intimacy between mother and very preterm newborn—A pilot matched-pair case-control study

Abstract: BackgroundSkin-to-skin contact (SSC) has been widely studied in NICU and several meta-analyses have looked at its benefits, for both the baby and the parent. However, very few studies have investigated SSC’ benefits for communication, in particular in the very-preterm newborn immediately after birth.AimsTo investigate the immediate benefits of Supported Diagonal Flexion (SDF) positioning during SSC on the quality of mother—very-preterm newborn communication and to examine the coordination of the timing of comm… Show more

“…Compared to the original vertical positioning method, the “kangaroo supported diagonal flexion positioning” (KSDFP) protocol [ 4 ] replaces the previous vertical position of the preterm infant via diagonal positioning, improving mother–infant gaze contact. Furthermore, it ensures preterm infants’ physiological stability, improving the contingent interaction between mother and infant [ 5 ], and, thus, it has been underlined as a promissory method for improving the understanding of the innate basis of intersubjectivity in the context of very preterm births [ 5 ]. Also, using this protocol, a significant decrease in maternal stress and a lower risk of postpartum depression were found [ 6 ].…”
