Description of the Book:

The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine the use of immediate maternal-infant skin-to-skin contact in health, full-term newborns and factors influencing its practice. Immediate parent-infant contact is a well recognized aspect of family-centered maternity care. Several studies, including Vaughans (1990) and Dodman (1987), support maternal-infant skin-to-skin contact as a highly effective means of thermoregulation. A lack of published studies addressing integration of this research into clinical practice prompted the study. A 23-item questionnaire was developed and mailed to United States Air Force obstetricians and certified nurse-midwives jointly assigned to stateside hospitals
