A Review of Theses with Randomised Controlled Experimental Designs on Kangaroo Care (Skin-to-Skin Contact) in Nursing and Midwifery in Turkey: A Retrospective Study

Öz

Aim: This study was conducted to examine postgraduate theses on kangaroo care and skin-to-skin contact in Turkey. Materials and Methods: The study involved a search of theses published in the fields of nursing and midwifery at the National Thesis Centre of the Higher Education Council (YOK) in Turkey between 16/07/2025 and 23/07/2025, which were available for full access. The keywords ‘kangaroo care’ and ‘skin-to-skin contact’ were used in the abstract section of the search. A total of 68 theses were identified, but since 4 of them were found to be duplicates, 64 theses were included in the analysis. A total of 9 postgraduate theses that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. Results: The study included 9 postgraduate theses that met the inclusion criteria. Eight of the theses examined were in the field of nursing and one was in the field of midwifery. Seven of the theses were at the master's level and the remaining two were at the doctoral level. Only one of the randomised controlled studies showed that kangaroo care had no effect between groups, while the other studies showed that it was effective. Conclusion: Skin-to-skin contact and kangaroo care are considered fundamental and effective methods in nursing and midwifery practices for the care of preterm infants. Skin-to-skin contact and kangaroo care are indispensable practices in preterm infant care, both in terms of improving clinical outcomes and supporting maternal and infant health holistically, and their widespread use in healthcare systems is recommended.
