Effect of kangaroo mother care on postoperative very low birth weight infants with ostomy
Objective To investigate the effect of kangaroo mother care(KMC)on improving milk intake,weight gain and parental satisfaction after ostomy in very low birth weight infants.Methods Twenty-one postoperative very low birth weight infants treated with ostomy between November 2018 and December 2022 were selected and randomly assigned into the observation group(n=10)and control group(n=11).KMC nursing mode was adopted in the observation group and routine nursing mode was adopted in the control group.The primary outcomes included vital signs,milk intake and weight gain,and parental satisfaction during hospitalization.Results There was no significant difference in the vital signs between the two groups(P>0.05).However,the milk intake and weight gain after nursing care in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P<0.05).In addition,parental satisfaction of the observation group during hospitalization was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion KMC can improve the milk intake of very low birth weight infants after ostomy,which ensures their growth and development needs,increases the weight,shortens hospitalization time,and improves the parental satisfactions.
