Abstract

Objective: to describe mothers’ experiences in caring for the premature newborn in the kangaroo method. Method: exploratory descriptive study, of qualitative nature, carried out in a public maternity hospital in Teresina-PI, northeast region of Brazil. Data collection, with mothers between 18 and 45 years old, took place in August and September 2018. The data were analyzed by the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: the mothers’ reports established five central ideas: Care of mothers with the newborn in the kangaroo method; Kangaroo Method: benefits for the baby; Facilities experienced by mothers in the kangaroo method; Difficulties in the kangaroo method experienced by mothers; The relationship of the mother/child bond in the kangaroo method. Conclusion: the experience in the kangaroo method enables the construction of the affective bond, favors the baby’s growth and development, provides confidence and autonomy to the mother in the consolidation of care. However, mothers pointed out difficulties related to the care of the newborn.
