Kangaroo Care

    Kangaroo Care

     
    Overview and audience:
    Select 1 of the articles in the folder entitled “Articles for Research Paper” in this folder for this assignment (just below where you found these instructions). I have placed several articles in this folder, but you will only select 1—you might peruse the abstracts of each article to see which ones interest you the most.

    This folder contains several studies conducted on issues relevant to developmental psychology and these experiments/investigations are typical of those that you will encounter in the field of health care (in terms of set up, methods and conclusions).

     
    1) Describe why the reader should consider the subject of this study as important (remember, these are health care providers, so don’t get too basic in your discussion).
    2) Describe the way the study was carried out in detail (this should be a substantial piece of your paper for each article). This means, tell the reader who was studied and how they were studied (e.g., methods, measures used). Again, this section should comprise the bulk of your article description. *Hint: you will see a methods section in most of these articles, so that is an easy place to start!

    later. Such
    findings extend previous reports on the concurrent
    relations between massage therapy and motor maturity
    during the neonatal period.38,39 Similarly, the
    findings indicate that an organized, enriched, and
    sensitive home environment—as measured by the
    HOME—had a unique contribution to the premature
    infant’s psychomotor development.
    The limitations of the study relate primarily to the
    fact that this was not a prospective randomized
    study of KC and control infants. As noted, KC is not
    an experimental technique in Israel but is considered
    to be a standard care option, and thus randomization
    was precluded by the institutional research boards.
    That different hospitals introduced the KC methods
    at different points in time provided an opportunity
    to compare from 2 hospitals matched mother–infant
    dyads who were being treated by otherwise similar
    clinical protocols. Thus, the selection bias that would
    have ensued from comparing infants from mothers
    who chose KC as opposed to those who refused to
    provide kangaroo contact was avoided. Future research
    is clearly needed to examine whether the
    gains secondary to KC noted in the first half-year
    persist into later infancy and childhood. We also
    need to know whether the provision of KC by people
    24 KANGAROO CARE, PARENTING, AND INFANT DEVELOPMENT
    other than the mother, such as fathers, grandparents,
    personnel, or volunteers, has similar effects on the
    development of premature infants. Finally, comparison
    of outcomes with other intervention methods,
    such as massage therapy, minimal handling, or enriched
    environments, is required to determine which
    method or combination thereof best fits a specific
    patient population to provide the most optimal intervention
    for the high-risk premature infant and his
    or her parents.

    THE CHINESE ARE COMING! THE CHINESE ARE COMING!
    “. . . The [New York Times] Education Life supplement just reported that the
    best-selling book in China for the past 16 months is a book, in Chinese, about how
    to get your teenager into Harvard, titled ‘Harvard Girl Yiting Liu.’ In this book, a
    Chinese mother shares her ‘scientifically proven methods’ for getting her daughter
    into Harvard. It has sold more than 1.1 million copies and triggered 15 copycats for
    how to get into Columbia, Oxford, or Cambridge. In the same week it was reported
    that the normally intelligent Saudi ambassador in London, Ghazi Algosaibi, had
    published a poem in Al-Hayat in praise of the 18-year-old Palestinian girl who
    blew herself up in an Israeli supermarket, saying to her, ‘You died to honor God’s
    word’. . . A society that makes a best-seller about how to get its teenagers into
    Harvard will eventually build Harvards of its own. But leaders who glorify a
    teenager who committed suicide in a supermarket full of civilians will never build
    a country.”
