were collected using a questionnaire developed for this purpose. The study showed that
nearly three-quarters of mothers agreed to have contact with their children in (SSC) and
nearly three-quarters of approvals preferred to be covered. The highest rate of response to
approvals for contact with their children immediately after birth was the expression of joy

continuing education and training sessions to provide all midwives and nurses working in
