  • Abstract:
  • To assess the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Mother Care and conventional method of care on hypothermia, Experimental factorial research design was used. 60 new born’s were chosen among them 30 were in KMC and 30 were in Conventional method of care through Convenient sampling technique. There is a significant increase in the body temperature of baby after Kangaroo Mother Care in KMC group the findings indicate the computer t value is 31.56 and is > t table value (3.659) at 29 degrees of freedom so the null hypothesis is rejected. So use of this technique would humanize the practice of newborn care, promote the breast feeding and shorten the hospital stay without compromising survival growth and development.
