Abstract: Background: Successful implementation of KMC depends on the attitudes and practices of maternity‐ward nurses. This study assessed the attitudes and practices of kangaroo mother care (KMC) by maternity‐ward nurses in the Eastern Philippines. Methods: A cross‐sectional survey design was used in the study. A convenience sample of 138 maternity‐ward nurses working in six rural health units (RHUs), two public hospitals and one private hospital. A questionnaire was used to assess the attitudes and practices of KMC by the recruited maternity‐ward nurses. Data were collected from June to July 2017 in maternity‐ward nurses' workplace. Results: Maternity‐ward nurses have a positive attitude towards KMC. Age is associated with attitudes towards KMC. Married maternity‐ward nurses have exhibit better attitudes and practice than single nurses. The attitudes of maternity‐ward nurses with master's degrees towards KMC are more positive than those with BSN degrees. Maternity‐ward nurses from Rural Health Units have better attitudes but fewer support to practice the KMC skills than those from public hospitals. Conclusions: Maternity‐ward nurses who are married, hold master's degrees and are working in RHUs have better KMC attitudes than their counterparts. Maternity‐ward nurses have good KMC attitude but poor KMC practices. The KMC information and skills of maternity‐ward nurses should be continuously updated to implement KMC effectively and efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
