袋鼠式護理是指母親與新生兒經由皮膚對皮膚的接觸（skin-to-skin contact），並能以自我協調（self-regulatory）的方式進行餵食，其主要目標是提供母兒一個最好的子宮外環境，使其能在產後促進彼此的適應。袋鼠式護理是一項兼具醫療與人性的照護方式，對新生兒而言不僅可穩定其生理發展，更可有效的促進親子關係的建立，是值得臨床應用的護理措施。本文介紹母嬰照護理念、袋鼠式護理運作之概念及階段，並列舉國外袋鼠式護理的實際案例及實施步驟，以供國內臨床應用之參考。

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the theory of maternal-infant nursing and the concepts and stages of KC, and to give some US examples of KC cases and guidelines for clinical implementation in Taiwan.
