contents <p>Objective To investigate the effects of kangaroo mother care combined with massage therapy on heart rate, oxygen<br>saturation, perfusion index (PI), systolic blood pressure in extremely premature infants, and the impact on parents’ satisfaction<br>with care.<br>Methods A total of 74 extremely premature infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Xinxiang Central<br>Hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the control group and<br>the intervention group. The control group received routine care, while the intervention group received kangaroo mother care<br>combined with massage therapy. Kangaroo mother care was performed once daily for 2 hours, lasting for 4 weeks, and massage<br>therapy was conducted during kangaroo mother care, lasting 10 minutes for 2 times. The heart rate, oxygen saturation, PI value,<br>and systolic blood pressure of the two groups of premature infants were compared on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days of<br>intervention, and the parents’ satisfaction with care at discharge was compared between the two groups.<br>Results 1. On the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days of intervention, the PI value and oxygen saturation of the premature infants in the<br>intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group. 2. At discharge, the parents’ satisfaction with care in<br>the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group.<br>Conclusion Kangaroo mother care combined with massage therapy can significantly increase the oxygen saturation in extremely<br>premature infants, improve peripheral circulation perfusion, and enhance parents’ satisfaction with care.</p>
