The burden is heaviest among rural females aged 65–69, but overall, urban areas face higher burdens than rural ones.

Kangaroo mother care can restore this bond, but its adoption in Chinese neonatal intensive care units remains limited. Although cultural norms and institutional practices are shown to influence its implementation, little is known about how these factors shape parents' gendered experiences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objective&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;This study integrated the views of healthcare professionals, fathers, and mothers to explore: (1) The influence of sociocultural norms and gender roles on kangaroo mother care practices; (2) Parents' perceptions of gendered responsibilities and roles in kangaroo mother care; (3) Gender-specific barriers and facilitators to participation; and (4) The transformative effects of kangaroo mother care on parents and infants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;A qualitative descriptive design was adopted. Between March and June 2025, purposive sampling was used to recruit 32 participants—including healthcare professionals (n = 11), fathers (n = 9), and mothers (n = 12) of preterm infants—from a tertiary hospital in Sichuan, China. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Based on interviews with 32 participants (11 healthcare professionals, 9 fathers, and 12 mothers), four themes were identified: (1) The influence of sociocultural norms and gender roles on participation in kangaroo mother care: Parents experienced tensions between traditional gender expectations and emerging egalitarian ideals of parenting; (2) Parental perceptions of appropriateness and unique contributions in kangaroo mother care: Mothers showed sensitivity in emotional interaction, while fathers fostered bonding and provided support, rendering their roles complementary and irreplaceable; (3) Gendered challenges and facilitators of kangaroo mother care: Fathers were constrained by work and limited paternity leave, while mothers faced postpartum restrictions; however, supportive environments and targeted guidance facilitated participation and individual traits sometimes shaped experiences beyond gender; and (4) The transformative effects of kangaroo mother care on parents and infants: Kangaroo mother care reinforced parental identity and strengthened parent–infant bonding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kangaroo mother care participation in Chinese neonatal intensive care units is shaped by gender norms, institutional constraints, and individual factors.

The essential criteria of model-based interventions were defined as (A) recognition of behavior as expression, (B) assessment of background and proximal factors, and (C) individualized approach based on assessment. Only interventions meeting all criteria were included. Studies not in English, not peer-reviewed, pharmacological in nature, or not exclusively targeting people with dementia were excluded. Study quality was assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE methodology. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model, with all effect sizes calculated immediately post-intervention and adjusted for baseline differences. Subgroup and meta-regression analysis were performed based on criterion A alignment (explicit vs. implicit), residence type (community vs. facility), and intervention level (individual vs. care system).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;39 studies were included in the systematic review, of which 22 were included in the meta-analysis. Need-Driven Dementia-Compromised Behavior model-based interventions showed statistically significant reductions in overall behavioral and psychological symptoms (SMD = −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.308, 95% CI: −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.589 to −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.027). In the analysis of individual symptoms, significant reductions were observed in agitation (SMD = −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.391, 95% CI: −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.670 to −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.111) and depression (SMD = −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.431, 95% CI: −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.792 to −&lt;!--&gt; &lt;!--&gt;0.071). Subgroup analysis revealed consistent statistically significant effects in interventions explicitly aligned with criterion A and in facility settings, with individual-level and care system-level interventions each showing statistically significant effects on different symptoms. Sensitivity analysis confirmed robust findings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Need-Driven Dementia-Compromised Behavior model-based interventions alleviated overall behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, agitation and depressive symptoms.
