Abstract: Objective: To develop the Clinical Nursing Pathway (CNP) of "Kangaroo Mother Care" for premature infants. Methods: The preliminary CNP was developed based on cases review and literature search. Ten medical and nursing experts were selected by purposive sampling for two-round consultations. Results: The positive coefficients of the two rounds experts consultations were both 100.0%. The authoritative coefficient was 0.85 which was above 0.7; the coefficients of variation in the two-round consultationwere 0.084 and 0.070, and the coordination coefficients were 0.253 and 0.318, respectively. Experts had the consistent opinions on the CNP and the "Kangaroo Mother Care" CNP was finally formed. Conclusion: The constructed "Kangaroo Mother Care" CNP is scientific and can be used to guide the clinical practice, standardize kangaroo mother care, and promote the use of Kangaroo Mother Care.
