'Counselling is the only thing to do': healthcare providers' experience of Kangaroo Mother Care in Bangladesh - a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aim: To explore healthcare providers' (HCPs) experiences of facility-initiated kangaroo mother care (KMC) in Bangladesh. Methods: An explorative qualitative study based on 11 semistructured interviews with HCPs from 2 hospitals in Dhaka was conducted. Nurses, medical officers and paediatric consultants were representing the HCPs. Inductive, qualitative content analysis was used. Results: Supporting KMC needs to be a continuous process that requires a high level of commitment from healthcare staff. Optimal implementation is, however, challenged by structural conditions such as shortage of staff, separation of mother and child, and incomplete follow-up, which need to be addressed to support KMC. Conclusion: Findings from this formative research can help in designing interventions for scaling up KMC in Bangladesh by paying attention to the crucial role of HCPs and giving them training on the importance of continuous and repeated counselling to both mother and family. To enhance motivation, involving nurses in follow-up care is essential, alongside strengthening the health system for families living far away and tracking those not attending follow-up. Furthermore, after this study was conducted, the WHO updated its recommendations regarding KMC. This means that the current study, in combination with the WHO's new recommendations, can be used for the development of new guidelines for KMC in clinical practice in Bangladesh.
