Tracing the threads: a system dynamics and network diffusion model of kangaroo care implementation in neonatal care - Implementation Science Communications Background The implementation of evidence-based practices such as kangaroo care (KC), a practice provided in clinical neonatal care, is subject to a complex and dynamic interplay of factors. Using tra...

In their paper, "Tracing the threads: a system dynamics and network diffusion model of kangaroo care implementation in neonatal care", E. Nyantakyi, P. Block, @laurenclack.bsky.social, and @mtschultes.bsky.social explore what drives KC implementation in #NICUs: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Neonatal intensive care units are designed to provide specialized care for newborns in urgent need. Infection spreads eaily in this environment, leading to outbreaks. In this review, authors analyze reported outbreaks associated with #NICUs over two decades
