Level of Knowledge on Kangaroo Mother Care and Its Associated Factors Among Postnatal Mothers With Preterm Babies in Central Tanzania: Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Less than half of the interviewed postdelivery women had adequate knowledge of KMC. Postdelivery women who were more likely to have adequate knowledge about KMC were those aged more than 30 years, with a higher level of education, and living in extended families. We recommend a deliberate effort on improving postnatal mothers' knowledge of KMC, one of the strategies being initiating care of preterm babies in the antenatal package to prepare these mothers.
