简要总结
The primary aim of this study was to determine the effect of kangaroo mother care on breastfeeding success in the early postpartum period. The secondary aim was to determine the effect of kangaroo mother care on the vital signs of the mother and the baby.
详细描述
From the selected sample, assignments to the intervention and control groups will be made by stratified block randomization method and randomizer.org website. Since it is predicted that mothers' previous breastfeeding experiences may affect breastfeeding success, mothers will be stratified in terms of the number of births (first vaginal birth/ two vaginal births). After stratification, block randomization will be performed and mothers will be assigned to the intervention and control groups with similar characteristics.

结局指标
主要结局
LATCH Breastfeeding and Diagnostic Scale mean scores
时间窗: Baseline and 60th minute
This measurement tool consists of five items. The name of the diagnostic tool, LATCH, is formed from the first letters of these five criteria in English. * L, Latch on the breast; * A, Audible swallowing; * T, Type of the nipple; * C, Comfort breast/nipple of the mother; * H, Hold/Help position of the baby. Each item is evaluated between 0-2 points. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is 10, and a high score means high breastfeeding success.
