Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to determine and compare the temperature of mothers and newborns after cesarean delivery in two groups of skin to skin contact and routine care. For this purpose, eighty eight pairs of non emergency cesarean delivery mothers and term newborns with Apgar score more than seven will be selected and placed randomly in two groups of skin to skin contact (Forty four pairs of mothers and newborns) and routine care (Forty four pairs of mothers and newborns). In the skin to skin contact group, after surgery and transferring the mother to the ward, skin to skin contact will be done for one hour between the mother and the newborn. In the routine care group, according to hospital usual method, the newborn will be handed to the mother. The newborns’ temperatures in both groups will be measured in the operating room immediately after birth, in nursery ward, when being handed to the mother and every half hour for one hour with infrared ray thermometer on the forehead. Also, the mothers’ temperatures will be measured before and after the surgery, when being returned to the ward and every half hour for one hour with the same kind of thermometer. During this time, the mothers will be trained on how to breastfeed their newborns. The data collection tool is a questionnaire which includes four parts: (Demographic data, temperature record form of mothers and newborns, infant breastfeeding assessment tool and mothers satisfaction with the skin to skin contact care).

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: After the mother’s cesarean delivery and her transfer to the ward, the naked newborn, in prone position, will be placed between the mother’s breasts for skin to skin contact with her. To avoid heat wastage, the newborn’s head will be covered with a hat and his / her back will be covered with a blanket. The mother's and newborn’s temperatures will be measured immediately after skin to skin contact and every half hour for one hour with IN4 model infrared ray thermometer on the forehead. Also, Infant Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (IBAT) will be used to measure infants’ success in breastfeeding; which includes four subscales: Readiness to feed, rooting reflex, latching on to the breast and sucking reflex. Each subscale has 0-3 scores and the total score ranges from 0-12.
