Attachment Bonding and Neonatal Hospitalization: the Impact of Hospitalization in a Kangaroo Unit

NCT06243861 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 96

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The Kangaroo Unit (UK) takes care of newborns requiring special care or monitoring for a pathology whose clinical situation is stable and whose prognosis is favorable. In order to avoid separating mother and child, these units were created with a care pathway somewhere between that requiring hospitalization in a neonatal unit and that of pathology-free newborns in post-natal care. Theoretically, the mother-child bond created in the UK is as good as that created in conventional post-natal care. However, studies show that there are limits to the quality of the bond in the UK. This study aims to assess whether the mother-child bond is degraded in the UK, in comparison with that of mothers in post-natal care.
