Abstract :
Introduction:
Skin-to-skin contact between father and newborn
baby engenders strong feelings, increases the infant’s
environmental stimulation, provides critical emotional
support, and encourages the father to become actively
involved in infant caring responsibilities. Today, it is
common for expectant fathers to actively participate in
the childbirth process as well as to reminisce on the
experience with their spouse or others. Research findings
shown that the emotional bonding between father and
baby also enhanced by KFC. It also strengthen the
confidence of fathers on new born care.
Aim:
Evaluate the effectiveness of Kangaroo father care
on attachment between the Father and baby among the
baby born by Lower Segmental Caesarean Section in
experimental and control group.
Hypothesis: H1:
There is a difference in attachment between Father
and baby after the implementation of KFC in the
experimental & control group at 0.05 level of significance.
Methodology:
Quantitative research approach with true
Experimental randomized control research design was
used. Non probability, total enumeration sampling
technique was used to select 100 fathers had first babies
born by LSCS in SVBCH, Silvassa. Modified father baby
attachment scale was used. It has three components such
as Patience & Tolerance, Enjoyment in interacting, Love
& Pride. Bio-Physiological measurement technique was
used to collect the Neonatal Outcomes.
Results:
Effectiveness of KFC on attachment between the
father and baby was evaluated by using the independent
‘t’ test. Study finding shown that the obtained t value
[t(98, 0.05) = 4.8; 0.000: p<0.05)] was significant at 0.05
level of significance.
Conclusion:
Present study shown that KFC is highly effective to
enhance the bondage between the father and baby which
can be practiced and to be implemented at various health
facilities.
