Resumen

LOPES, Luisamara Leal; VACCARI, Alessandra; RODRIGUES, Fernanda Araújo  y  HERBER, Silvani. Fathers' experiences using the kangaroo position with low-birth-weight infants. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2020, vol.serV, n.3, pp.e20033-e20033. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/RV20033.

Background: The kangaroo position consists of keeping the newborn in skin-to-skin contact with the mother, father, or caregiver elected by the family. Its benefits include the newborn's clinical improvement and weight gain. Objective: To describe the fathers' experiences using the kangaroo position with their low-birth-weight newborns. Methods: A descriptive exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, was conducted in a neonatal unit, in southern Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, and a thematic content analysis was carried out. Results: Five fathers participated in the study, from which three categories resulted: the ambivalence of feelings; the ease and difficulty experienced; and the strengthening of the father-child bond. Conclusion: It is possible to go beyond the results of this study and consider the kangaroo position as a strategy to stimulate the father-child interaction and bonding, while effectively acting as a trigger for the development of fatherhood.

Palabras clave : kangaroo-mother care method; paternity; infant, newborn; neonatal nursing.
