Summary
Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a vital intervention for newborns. This method, involving skin-to-skin contact, significantly improves infant health outcomes and survival rates.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Neonatology
- Public Health
Background:
- Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a recognized intervention for newborn care.
- The program's effectiveness is well-documented in various global health settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the personal awareness and initial exposure to the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) program.
- To understand the early influences on a future children's nurse regarding KMC.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative reflection on personal experience.
- Narrative description of encountering KMC in Colombia.
Main Results:
- Initial awareness of KMC was gained through travel to Colombia.
- This encounter predated formal pediatric nursing studies.
Conclusions:
- Personal experiences can shape professional interests in specific healthcare interventions like KMC.
- Early exposure to effective maternal and child health programs is impactful.

Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...

Chemical bonding theories were pioneered by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis. He developed a model called the Lewis model to explain the type and formation of different bonds. Chemical bonding is central to chemistry; it explains how atoms or ions bond together to form molecules. It explains why some bonds are strong and others are weak, or why one carbon bonds with two oxygens and not three; why water is H2O and not H4O.

Chemical Bonds
The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. The innermost electron shell has a maximum capacity of two electrons, but the next two electron shells can each have a maximum of eight electrons. This is known as the octet rule, which states that, with the exception of the innermost shell, atoms are most stable energetically when they have eight electrons in their valence shell, the...

Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

A hydrogen bond is formed when a weakly positive hydrogen atom already bonded to one electronegative atom (for example, the oxygen in the water molecule) is attracted to another electronegative atom from another polar molecule, such as water (H2O), hydrogen fluoride (HF), or ammonia (NH3). The huge electronegativity difference between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded (4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for an N atom), combined with the very small size of an H atom...
