This study aims to learn how nurses in the Neonatal Critical Care Center (NCCC) at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill use and think about Kangaroo Care, which is when a parent holds their premature baby skin-to-skin. Kangaroo Care can help babies sleep better, reduce stress, improve breastfeeding, and support growth. Most research focuses on how it helps babies, but we want to know more about how nurses use it during their work. We will interview experienced NCCC nurses to find out how they introduce Kangaroo Care to families, how often they use it, what makes it easier or harder to do, and what changes they notice in the babies. The goal is to help hospitals support nurses and families better in the NCCC.
