Parental singing during kangaroo care: parents' experiences of singing to their preterm infant in the NICU
Parental singing during kangaroo care, particularly when supported by a trained music therapist, enhances parents' sense of coherence by fostering comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. This study highlights the long-term benefits of integrating CMT into family-centered NICU care to support both infants' neurodevelopment and family wellbeing.
