Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of the Kangaroo Mother Care method on weight gain in premature newborns.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted in scientific databases, including Pubmed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus, as well as clinically relevant articles from Dialnet and Cuiden. The search covered the period from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2023, using keywords and boolean operators "AND" and "OR."

Results: Nine studies meeting the inclusion criteria and undergoing critical reading were included. Despite the high heterogeneity, the results underscore the global relevance of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method, demonstrating that this method positively impacts weight gain in newborns. Additionally, the positive influence of breastfeeding and kinesthetic stimulation on the weight of these preterm infants was observed.

Conclusions: The Kangaroo Mother Care method significantly benefits preterm newborns, improving weight gain. Breastfeeding and kinesthetic stimulation combined with KMC further enhance the benefits regarding the weight of preterm infants. These findings highlight the need for broader adoption of Kangaroo Mother Care with standardized protocols.

袋鼠妈妈护理方法对早产儿体重增加的影响：系统综述。

目的：评价袋鼠妈妈护理方法对早产儿体重增加的影响。方法：系统回顾Pubmed、Cochrane、Web of Science、Scopus等科学数据库，以及Dialnet和Cuiden的临床相关文章。搜索范围从2018年1月1日到2023年12月31日，使用关键字和布尔运算符“and”和“OR”。结果：9项符合纳入标准并进行了批判性阅读的研究被纳入。尽管存在高度异质性，但结果强调了袋鼠妈妈护理方法的全球相关性，表明这种方法对新生儿体重增加有积极影响。此外，观察到母乳喂养和动觉刺激对这些早产儿体重的积极影响。结论：袋鼠妈妈护理法对早产儿有明显的好处，可以改善体重增加。母乳喂养和动觉刺激结合KMC进一步增强了早产儿体重方面的益处。这些发现强调需要更广泛地采用袋鼠妈妈护理与标准化协议。
