Kangaroo care is the act of placing an infant skin-to-skin with the mother or father. This care is commonly provided by mothers, but can also be provided by fathers. Paternal Kangaroo Therapy offers many benefits for both the father and the newborn. By implementing this care, fathers are provided the opportunity to bond with their newborn. This bonding experience is important as many newborns spend several weeks in the NICU. Time away from the newborn can be especially stressful for the family. Baby carrier therapy provides a means for the father to provide care to the newborn during the NICU stay. Benefits to the newborn include maintaining greater temperature stability, a stabilized heart rate, and breathing within normal limits. It is believed that healthcare professionals do not understand paternal kangaroo care and its benefits. This article will provide evidence-based practice to support and promote paternal kangaroo care. The goal of this research study is to provide evidence-based research that promotes paternal kangaroo therapy. Background The act of providing baby carrier therapy to newborns is something that has been around for many years. Skin-to-skin contact between a mother and newborn was first studied in 1970 (Ludington-Hoe, 2011). This treatment was studied many years ago but has not been promoted and used as it should. When newborns are born prematurely, parents and the newborn experience a great deal of stress. The ideal thought of giving birth to a healthy full-term baby was shattered. The newborn must adapt to extrauterine life and parents experience separation anxiety when the newborn is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The act of pouch therapy promotes bonding, and paper-based research will provide a means to implement changes in how we care for newborns in the NICU. These changes will promote the infant's growth and development and facilitate positive paternal bonding experiences. Conclusion Nursing research should be completed with the goal of improving patient care and outcomes. The ultimate goal of this research study is to provide the necessary evidence-based information to promote paternal kangaroo therapy to newborns in the NICU. Effective use of evidence-based practice depends on the ability to find and analyze data, critically examine a patient's current condition and needs, and apply appropriate interventions to achieve the desired outcome (2012). With the knowledge gained from this study, it is anticipated that paternal kangaroo care will become standard practice in neonatal intensive care units across the United States..
