Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), a cost-effective, evidence-based intervention, has been widely adopted in hospitals to address these challenges. However, its continued implementation at home post-discharge remains underexplored. This descriptive-correlational study aimed to assess the compliance of 142 mothers practicing KMC at home in the province of Camarines Sur. The study utilized a self-made questionnaire and unstructured interviews to evaluate compliance across four key domains: preparation for KMC, positioning baby correctly for KMC, skin-to-skin contact and exclusive breastfeeding, and monitoring of the baby's condition. Additionally, it examined the influence of sociodemographic variables and psychosocial factors, such as social, personal, emotional, and support system, on maternal compliance. Results revealed that while most mothers complied with essential KMC practices, lowest adherence was noted in aspects such as breast milk expression and extended skin-to-skin contact. Personal and emotional factors significantly influenced compliance. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, such as enhanced post-discharge education and community-based support, to promote sustained and effective Kangaroo Mother Care at home. A proposed plan is recommended to enhance maternal adherence and further reduce neonatal complications in Camarines Sur. 0aMotherhood.  aCamarines Sur   aPaniterce, Eden Q.eadviser.  aVillanueva, Paulo Martin B.echair, panelist.  aSalcedo, Maria Laarni M.epanelist.  aFajardo, Luzviminda A.epanelist.  2ddcn0cUMhP191ciMANkMTHm2025  00102ddc4070aCSPCbCSPCcGRDd2025-11-20l0oMTH MAN P191c 2025p006984UMr2025-11-20 13:18:04t1-1w2025-11-20yUM  c30893d30893
