    • Parents reported experiencing intense emotions, including happiness, comfort, closeness, and intimacy.
    • Evidence suggests that early SSC fosters an enhanced attachment bond between parents and newborns.
    • Parents identified the contribution and role of nurses as essential for successful early SSC.
