| dc.description.abstract | Kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been widely adopted in low-and middleincome
countries (LMICs) to minimise low birthweight infants’ (LBWIs) adverse outcomes.
However, the burden of neonatal and child mortality remains disproportionately high in
LMICs. Thus, this scoping review sought to map evidence on the barriers, challenges and
facilitators of KMC utilisation by parents of LBWIs (parent of low birthweight infant [PLBWI])
in LMICs. We searched for studies conducted in LMICs and published in English between
January 1990 and August 2020 from SciELO, Google Scholar, JSTOR, LILACS, Academic
search complete, PubMed, CINAHL with full text, and Medline databases. We adopted Arksey
and O’Malley’s framework for conducting scoping reviews. | en_US |
