The result of the present study highlights the fact that neonatal healthcare professionals' experiences of providing ICR in the mother's bed were positive and had significant benefits for the neonate, namely zero separation between the neonate and parents and better physical recovery for the neonate. However, the fact that ICR in the mother's bed can be challenging in several ways, such as emotionally, managing environmental circumstances and ensuring effective team collaboration. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that healthcare professionals are given the opportunity to reflect and train together as a team. Future recommendations are to summarize evidence-based knowledge to design guidelines for ICR situation.
