Summary

This study examines the effect of skin-to-skin contact between father and newborn on the father-neonate attachment relationship. By block randomization, participants were allocated to an experimental (n=41) or a control group (n=42).

Conditions

  • Parent-Child Relations

Interventions

OTHER

skin to skin contact

The researchers facilitated initial SSC between intervention-group participants and their infants within 24 hours of birthing under conditions that did not adversely affect spontaneous mother-infant SSC nor interfere with the early initiation of breastfeeding. Because it is standard practice to discharge vaginal-birth mothers on the third postpartum day, this study implemented the intervention during the first three postpartum days for both vaginal and cesarean birth cases.
