It is reported that skin-to-skin care has not only child-warming and other physiologicalfunctions, but also such mother-child psychological effects as healing of guilty feelings andrecovering self-confidence. The purpose of the present study is to elucidate the change offeelings of premature babies' mothers who, feeling pains, experience skin-to-skin care.Referring to "Categories of Healing of Mothers of Prematurely-Born Babies (Nakajima,2000) 1)," the authors set a framework for analysis and made a study with a descriptiveapproach. The subjects were four mothers who had given birth prematurely andexperienced skin-to-skin care. The purpose of the present study was explained to thesubjects for their consent and data were collected by interviewing the subjects before andafter their children's getting out of NICU with the method of semi-structured interviews.The data was analyzed for characteristics of the subjects' feelings. Observed in thedescriptions in the verbatim records made in the present study was the same tendency asobserved in the descriptions in Nakajima's study, and it was ascertained that the mothers'feelings had changed from "captive of pain" to "confrontation with reality" to "certainty inexisting as a mother." Besides, their pain changed into joy through the experience of skinto-skin care, the joy leading to "certainty in existing as a mother." Thus, it was suggestedthat the feelings of the mother of a prematurely-born baby changed from pain to joythrough the experience of skin-to-skin care.
