Impact of Kangaroo Mother Care on Selected Bio Marker and Maternal-Infant Bonding in Preterm Neonates in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Lahore, Pakistan
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Kangaroo Mother Care for Kangaroo Mother Care and Oxidative Stress. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Kangaroo Mother care can have effect on oxidative stress in premature neonates. It will also learn about the bonding between mother and her premature infant. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Kangaroo mother care lower the biomarker of oxidative stress in premature neonates? * Is Kangaroo mother care associated with mother-infant bonding? Researchers will compare Kangaroo mother care to Conventional incubator care to see if Kangaroo mother care works to have effect on oxidative stress. Participants will be: * given Kangaroo mother care on third day of life or standard incubator care for one hour * Urine sample for oxidative stress biomarker will be collected via noninvasive method before and after Kangaroo mother care or conventional incubator care from premature neonates. * Mother-infant bonding scale will be filled by mothers of enrolled premature infants before and after kangaroo mother care and conventional incubator care

Interventions
KMC is a care system for LBW and preterm infants at birth, based on skin-to-skin contact between the infant and the mother and exclusive breast feeding. The mother carries her Preterm infant for at least one hour per day. Urine collected before and after skin-to-skin contact.
