Supporting factors and barriers in implementing kangaroo mother care in Indonesia
Keywords:

Abstract
Background Kangaroo mother care (KMC) was introduced toIndonesia in the 1990s. Since then, KMC has not been widely
implemented and has not received national policy support.
Objective The objectives of this case study were to implement
KMC by an intervention that would ultimately benefit ten
hospitals in Java, Indonesia, as well as identify supporting factors
and barriers to KMC implementation.
Methods An intervention with four phases was conducted in
ten hospitals. Two teaching hospitals were supported to serve as
training centers, six hospitals were supported to implement KMC
and two other hospitals were supported to strengthen existing
KMC practices. The four phases were comprised of a baseline
assessment, a five-day training workshop, two supervisory visits
to each hospital, and an end-line assessment.
Results A total of 344 low birth weight infants received KMC
during the intervention period. Good progress with regards to
implementation was observed in most hospitals between the first
and second supervisory visits. Supporting factors for KMC were the
following: support received from hospital management, positive
attitudes ofhealthcare providers, patients, families and communities,
as well as the availability of resources. The most common challenges
were record keeping and data collection, human resources and staff
issues, infrastructure and budgets, discharge and follow-up, as well
as family issues. Challenges related to the family were the inability
of the mother or family to visit the infant frequently to provide
KMC, and the affordability of hospital user fees for the infant to
stay in the hospital for a sufficient period of rime.
Conclusion KM C appeared to be well accepted in most hospitals.
For an intervention to have maximum impact, it is important
to integrate services and maintain a complex network of
communication systems. [Paediatr lndones. 2012;52:43-50).
