Abstract

Low-birth-weight (LBW) infants require continuous care after discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), making parental discharge readiness essential. To evaluate whether Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) integrated with multimedia parent training improves parental discharge readiness. A quantitative quasi-experimental, non-randomized pretest-posttest control-group design included 30 mother-infant dyads (15 per group) recruited consecutively. The intervention combined KMC education, video, demonstration, and guided practice; the control group received routine NICU education. Readiness was measured with a validated 25-item instrument (range 25-125; Cronbach's α = .914). Readiness improved in both groups, with a larger mean increase in the intervention group (26.33 ± 7.78 vs. 13.00 ± 8.53; p < .001). KMC knowledge increased in both groups, practical skills did not differ significantly (p = .451), and video acceptability was 91.2%. Multimedia-supported KMC parent training was associated with greater discharge-readiness improvement and may strengthen structured neonatal discharge planning, although causal interpretation is limited by the small non-randomized sample.
