    Keywords : Breastfeeding; Lactation; Human Milk; Newborn; Infant; Preterm Infant; Kangaroo Mother Care; Mother-infant interaction; Parent-Child Relations; Object Attachment; Self Efficacy; Implementation Science; Quality of healthcare; Quality improvement; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

    Abstract : Breastfeeding is associated with improved health in mothers and children and human milk is especially beneficial for preterm infants. The vast majority of pregnant women in Sweden intend to breastfeed, but breastfeeding rates are suboptimal, with even lower rates for preterm infants. READ MORE

  4. 2. Parent-infant skin-to-skin contact studies : parent-infant interaction and oxytocin levels during skin-to-skin contact after Cesarean section and mother-infant skin-to-skin contact as treatment for breastfeeding problems

    Author : Marianne Velandia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : skin-to-skin contact;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of early skin-to-skin contact on maternal, paternal and infant interaction immediately after Cesarean section and personality profile in mothers. Furthermore, it was to study skin-to-skin contact between mothers and infants as a method to solve severe latch-on breastfeeding problems, even weeks after birth. READ MORE

  5. 3. Promoting health in premature infants : with special focus on skin-to-skin contact and development of valid pain assesment

    Author : Emma Olsson; Mats Eriksson; Agneta Anderzen-Carlsson; Gunilla Ahlsén; Carina Sparud Lundin; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Near-infrared spectroscopy; Neonatal intensive care; Pain assessment; Premature infant; Skin-to-skin contact;

    Abstract : Premature infants are at greater risk for both short- and long-term negative outcomes than infants born at full term. Premature infants have an immature nervous system and are not developmentally prepared to process the often excessive stimuli and frequent painful procedures of intensive care. READ MORE

  6. 4. Skin-to-skin contact and suckling in early postpartum : effects on temperature, breastfeeding and mother-infant interaction

    Author : Ksenia Bystrova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Breastfeeding outcome; early suckling; maternal temperature; mother-child interaction; newborn infant temperature; sensitive period; separation; skin-to-skin contact; swaddling.;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the role of closeness versus separation on infant and maternal temperature adaptation, breastfeeding outcome and mother-infant interaction. In addition, we aimed to study a potential influence of swaddling on all outcomes measured. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immediate skin-to-skin contact for very preterm and low birth weight infants : from newborn physiology to mortality reduction

    Author : Agnes Linnér; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a contrast between the incidence of low birth weight and the contents and outcomes of neonatal care in high- versus middle- and low-income countries. Most of the neonatal deaths worldwide are attributed to low birth weight, occur within the first three postnatal days and can be prevented without intensive care. READ MORE
