본 연구는 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 미숙아를 대상으로 캥거루식 접촉이 미숙아의 신체발달, 외부환경 적응, 어머니의 역할수행 자신감에 미치는 효과를 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 연구대상은 B광역시에 소재한 1개 종합병원에서 제왕절개분만을 한 미숙아와 미숙아 어머니로서 캥거루식 접촉을 시행 한 실험군 19명과 캥거루식 접촉을 하지 않은 대조군 19명이다. 자료수집기간은 2013년 6월 1일부터 2015년 6월 30일까지이며, 실험군에게 캥거루식 접촉을 하루 3회(1회 60분), 총 10회를 실시하였다. 미숙아의 신체발달(체중, 신장, 머리둘레)과 외부환경 적응(체온, 심박동수, 산소포화도)을 캥거루식 접촉 전에 측정하였고, 중재를 제공한 후 다시 측정하였다. 어머니 역할수행 자신감은 자가보고식 설문지로 측정하였다. 연구결과 캥거루식 접촉을 시행한 실험군과 접촉을 시행하지 않은 대조군 간의 차이에서 미숙아의 신체발달은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으며(체중 t=-0.83, p=.21 신장 t=-0.34, p=.37, 머리둘레 t=1.29, p=.10), 외부환경 적응에서 산소포화도가 유의한 차이가 있었다(t=2.27, p=.02). 미숙아 어머니의 역할수행 자신감은 유의한 차이가 없었다(t=-0.41, p=.34). 결론적으로 캥거루식 접촉은 미숙아의 외부환경 적응에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Kangaroo Care (KC) on physiological marker of preterm infant in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: The research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest. Data were collected from July 1, 2007 to February 29, 2008. The participants were 26 people of experimental group and 27 people of control group. KC was applied three times per day, for a total ten times of 4 days to the experimental group. Results: There was significant difference between experimental and control groups on the skin temperature on of preterm infants. The skin temperature in the intervention group was significantly higher than in the control group. Conclusion: Kangaroo care can be applied as a supportive nursing intervention to preterm infant at neonatal intensive care unit.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Kangaroo Care(KC) on anxiety, maternal role confidence, and maternal infant attachment of mothers who delivered preterm infants. Methods: The research design was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest. Data was collected from September 1. 2006 to June 20. 2007. The participants were 22 mothers in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. KC was applied three times per day, for a total of ten times in 4 days to the experimental group. Results: The degree of anxiety was statistically significantly different between the two groups but maternal role confidence and maternal infant attachment was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: This data suggests that KC was effective for mothers anxiety relief but it was not effective for maternal role confidence and maternal infant attachment of mothers. The implications for nursing practice and directions for future research need to be discussed.
