Initiation and extent of skin‐to‐skin care at two <scp>S</scp>wedish neonatal intensive care units

Abstract

Early initiation of SSC had positive impact on the extent of parents' application of SSC. Even though the infants in this study were cared for skin-to-skin to a high extent, there is a potential for extended use of SSC in this type of hospital setting for reducing separation between infants and parents.
