Postnatal Care
Conditions
Brief summary
The Kangaroo Unit (UK) takes care of newborns requiring special care or monitoring for a pathology whose clinical situation is stable and whose prognosis is favorable. In order to avoid separating mother and child, these units were created with a care pathway somewhere between that requiring hospitalization in a neonatal unit and that of pathology-free newborns in post-natal care. Theoretically, the mother-child bond created in the UK is as good as that created in conventional post-natal care. However, studies show that there are limits to the quality of the bond in the UK. This study aims to assess whether the mother-child bond is degraded in the UK, in comparison with that of mothers in post-natal care.

| Mother-infant bonding | Up to 3 days after delivery | Mother-infant bonding score from Taylor's Mother to Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of mothers' state and trait anxiety levels | Up to 3 days after delivery | using Spielberger's STAY form Y1 and Y2: a self-reported questionnaire with 20 items assessed on a 4 points scale |
