Summary
Nurses face barriers implementing Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), including personal, institutional, and parental factors. Addressing these requires improved hospital support, clear guidelines, and staff training for better KMC utilization.
Area of Science:
- Neonatal Care
- Nursing Practice
- Public Health Interventions
Background:
- Nurses are vital for Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) success.
- Implementation challenges hinder widespread KMC practice.
- Understanding nurse-specific barriers is crucial for improving KMC.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze barriers nurses face in implementing KMC.
- To explore strategies for overcoming these barriers.
- To guide future research on KMC implementation.
Main Methods:
- Integrative review of relevant literature.
- Searched multiple databases (CINAHL, Medline, Web of Science, etc.).
- Appraised articles using critical appraisal checklists.
Main Results:
- Synthesized findings from 19 diverse articles.
- Identified four key themes of barriers: nurse perspectives, institutional issues, parental experiences, and implementation strategies.
- Highlighted strategies to enhance KMC.
Conclusions:
- Nurses encounter significant barriers to KMC implementation in healthcare settings.
- Strategies exist to reduce these barriers and improve KMC utilization.
- Hospitals must provide adequate resources, training, and clear protocols for effective KMC.
