As with all surgeries, the risks of cesarean birth include the possibility of bleeding and infection, prolonged recovery time after birth, delays in initiating breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact (SSC), and increased likelihood of complications in future pregnancies.\n\nWhile many hospitals apply SSC after normal births, it is known that the number of hospitals that apply SSC in the operating room after cesarean birth is very few. Factors that prevent the initiation of SSC after cesarean birth include the effect of the current operating room culture, the physiological evaluation process of the baby after birth, the presence of procedures such as measuring body weight, aspiration, and Apgar score evaluation.\n\nSince the mother and baby are separated after cesarean birth, the mother's initiation of breastfeeding in the first hour of life may be delayed, and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding may be shortened. The 90-minute uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact during which the baby is dried and placed directly on the mother's bare chest after birth maximizes the chance that babies are physically ready to breastfeed.\n\nAlthough there are studies showing the benefits of SSC application in the operating room such as breastfeeding rates, maintaining the body temperature of the newborn, reducing maternal stress levels, and increasing oxytocin levels, a limited number of studies have been reached in the literature using SSC application guidelines developed to ensure the sustainability of SSC application in the operating room, post-op care unit, and obstetrics clinic. The first contribution of this planned study to the literature will be to standardize SSC application with SSC checklists prepared for use in the cesarean operation room, post-op care unit, and obstetrics ward based on SSC application guidelines. As a second contribution, considering the conditions of the health institution where the study will be conducted, the effects of starting SSC as early as possible and applying it in the cesarean operation room, post-op care unit, and obstetrics ward on the stress level of newborns, sucking success, and pain and salivary cortisol (stress) levels of mothers will be evaluated.",[123],"Skin-to-skin Contact",[125,126,127,128,129,32],"skin-to-skin contact","newborn","mother","stress","cesarean delivery","2026-01-12",{"date":132,"type":40},"2026-01-14",{"date":134,"type":40},"2025-03-19",{"date":136,"type":21},"2026-01-31",{"name":138,"class":47},"Kutahya Health Sciences University",{"id":140,"slug":141,"hasResults":11,"nctId":142,"briefTitle":143,"officialTitle":144,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":145,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":89,"minAge":146,"maxAge":147,"enrollmentInfo":148,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":150,"briefSummary":151,"conditions":152,"keywords":153,"overallStatus":71,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":156,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":157,"startDateStruct":159,"completionDateStruct":161,"leadSponsor":163,"locationsCount":165},"100575841","skin-to-skin-contact-in-healthy-term-infants-100575841","NCT06777524","Skin-to-skin Contact in Healthy Term Infants","Short-term and Long-term Effects of Skin-to-skin Contact in Healthy Term Infants","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Babies born at Korea University Anam Hospital\n* Term infants (37 weeks or more)\n* Infants with a birth weight of 2,500g or more\n* Healthy infants with an Apgar score of 7 or higher at 5 minutes\n* Mothers and infants without severe acute complications, such as requiring intensive care treatment immediately after delivery\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Preterm infants born at 37 weeks of less gestation\n* Low birth weight infants weighing less than 2500g at birth\n* Mothers under the age of 20\n* Unmarried mothers\n* Multiple pregnancies (twins or triplets)\n* Parents do not consent to participation in the study","1 Hour","72 Hours",{"count":149,"type":21},130,[24],"This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial study to investigate short- and long-term effects of mother-infant skin-to-skin contact in healthy term infants, in order to provide supporting data for emphasizing mother-infant skin contact and family-centered care in South Korea.",[123],[125,154,155],"infant","neurodevelopmental outcome","2025-09-18",{"date":158,"type":40},"2025-09-23",{"date":160,"type":40},"2025-02-10",{"date":162,"type":21},"2030-01-31",{"name":164,"class":47},"Korea University Anam Hospital",2,{"id":167,"slug":168,"hasResults":11,"nctId":169,"briefTitle":170,"officialTitle":171,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":172,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":173,"enrollmentInfo":174,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":176,"briefSummary":177,"conditions":178,"keywords":180,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":160,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":185,"startDateStruct":187,"completionDateStruct":189,"leadSponsor":191,"locationsCount":48},"100579686","the-effect-of-skin-to-skin-contact-between-mother-and-newborn-100579686","NCT06827522","The Effect of Skin-to-skin Contact Between Mother and Newborn","Analysis of the Effect of Skin-to-skin Contact with the Mother on Galvanic Skin Response Signals in Newborns","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
