- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to further understand maternal care during the kangaroo care second stage in the light of Leininger's Theory. Methods: It is a qualitative research based on the Transcultural Theory of Leininger Care, which was performed with eight mothers hospitalized in a kangaroo accommodation, through a semi-structured interview. Results: The categories were constituted as follows: The premature "BEING" for the mothers; Worrying about weight loss; Maternal baby care routine; Popular health practices towards the premature baby's care. Conclusions: It has been shown that mothers suffer as the real baby due to prematurity, which can be shown through exacerbated concern, especially in the care routine. It was also observed the cultural influences implicit in the care process, as well as personal experiences and formal teachings in guiding care. Therefore, the health professional must understand that caring has singularities tied to its socio-cultural context.
