OBJECTIVE: Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) is effective to maintain normal temperature in low birth weight (LBW) newborns. However, there are several barriers related to privacy and space availability for its optimum utilization. We used cloth-to-cloth contact (CCC), i.e. placing the newborn in Kangaroo position without removing cloths as an innovative alternative to SSC to test its efficacy for thermoregulation and feasibility as compared to SSC in LBW newborns.
METHODS: The newborns eligible for Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) in step-down nursery were included in this randomized crossover trial. Newborns received SSC or CCC as per randomization on the first day and then crossed over to other group on the next day and so on. A feasibility questionnaire was asked to the mothers and the nurses. Axillary temperature was measured at various time intervals. Group comparisons were made by either using independent sample t-test or Chi-square test.
RESULTS: A total of 23 newborns received KMC for total 152 occasions in the SSC group and 149 times in the CCC group. There was no significant temperature difference between the groups at any time-point. Mean (standard deviation) gain of temperature at 120 min in the CCC group [0.43 (0.34)°C] was comparable to the SSC group [0.49 (0.36)°C] (p = 0.13). We did not observe any adverse effect of CCC. Most mothers and nurses perceived CCC feasible in hospital settings and felt that it could be feasible in-home settings too.
CONCLUSION: CCC was safe, more feasible and not inferior to SSC for maintaining thermoregulation in LBW newborns.
