A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted during the last trimester of 2022 and the first trimester of 2023 with women who had given birth in Spain. A questionnaire containing sociodemographic, psychosocial, and health variables referring to the mother and the newborn, as well as the Bond and Attachment questionnaire (VAMF, for its name in Spanish) for the analysis of the mother\u2013child bond and attachment, were administered. A multivariate analysis was performed, and areas under the ROC curve (AUC) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) and the predictive characteristics of these models were estimated. In total, 1077 women participated. The prevalence of early skin-to-skin contact after delivery was 50.2% (468) in the derivation cohort and 49.8% (464) in the validation cohort. Multivariate analysis showed that prematurity, type of delivery, and birth experience were statistically significant, so they were included in the model (p \u2264 0.05). The predictive ability (AUC ROC) was good in both the derivation cohort, yielding 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89\u20130.95), and in the validation cohort, yielding 0.89 (95% CI: 0.85\u20130.93). This study developed a predictive model identifying factors facilitating early skin-to-skin contact between a mother and her newborn immediately after birth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children11050577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,14]],"date-time":"2024-05-14T08:59:37Z","timestamp":1715677177000},"page":"577","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Development of a Predictive Model for Skin-to-Skin Contact Immediately after Birth: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda Antonia","family":"D\u00edaz-Ogallar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"San Agustin Hospital, Andalusian Health Service, 23700 Linares, Spain"},{"name":"Nursing Department, University of Jaen, 23071 Jaen, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9100-1134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, Ciudad Real Faculty of Nursing, University of Castilla-La Mancha, 13071 Ciudad Real, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4285-1335","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Linares-Abad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of Jaen, 23071 Jaen, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0878-8635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Miguel","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Galiano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Department, University of Jaen, 23071 Jaen, Spain"},{"name":"Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP), 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"CD003519","article-title":"Early skin-to-skin contact formothers and their healthy newborn infants","volume":"11","author":"Moore","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst.
