Abstract: This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effect of the maternal kangaroo care empowerment program on physiological functions of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The samples consisted of 30 pairs of mothers and preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome undergoing treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit of Nakornping Hospital, Chiang Mai Province and were equally divided into an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). The research instruments included the maternal kangaroo care empowerment program, the picture of preterm infant, the video of infant kangaroo care, the pamphlet of infant kangaroo care, the equipment for infant kangaroo care, the demographic data record form, the preterm infant physiological change record form, and the pulse oximeter. The implementation and data collection were conducted from February to October 2020. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, repeated measure ANOVA, and independent t-test. The research results revealed that 1) infants in the experimental group had statistically significantly different mean oxygen saturation before, during, and after the experiment (F = 18.850, p < .001); 2) infants in the experimental group had statistically significantly higher mean oxygen saturation than that of the control group (t = 2.050, p < .05); 3) infants in the experimental group had no difference in mean heart rate before, during, and after the experiment; and 4) there was no difference in mean heart rate of infants between the experimental and the control group. This research suggests that nurses should apply this maternal kangaroo care empowerment program to care for preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. This will help preterm infants achieve better physiological functions.
