Abstract
Kangaroo care (KC)'s benefits to infant and parent have long been studied and proven. However, KC incidence rates remain low in the neonatal ICU (NICU) at Kentucky Children's Hospital. This study strives to address barriers to KC by developing and implementing specific strategies to increase KC utilization in the NICU.
