Abstract

This is a qualitative single site study evaluating a skin-to-skin contact (SSC) care programme for term newborns and their mothers within a delivery suite (capacity: 6,000 deliveries a year in 2010) of a large urban hospital in Hong Kong. Consecutive annual audits of the study site in 2010 and 2011 reported low support of SSC less than 1.6% (below the median among eight hospitals of the same tier) and less than 40% (over the median of 7%), respectively.
