摘要：The goal of this study was to analyze the perceptions, experiences and neonatal care behavior ofwomen in a Kangaroo-Mother Care Program so as to understand how they perceived this experience.The sample was composed of 5 mother-baby dyads (mother’s ages ranged between 16 and 33 years).Collected data included the Beck Depression Inventory and the Maternal Acceptance questionnairewith respect to the Kangaroo Program. Non-verbal behavior was observed through daily sessionswhile two thematic interviews were used to clarify various obscure aspects of the data. The resultssuggest that the Kangaroo mother care Program was well tolerated by mothers, but outside factors alsoinfluenced maternal behavior and participant’s emotions. All mothers followed the prescribedactivities and the period spent on the Program seems to have been used as a reflective moment in theirlives. Further investigations remain to be conducted, in order to improve Kangaroo-Mother CareProgram development.
