Abstract
Describe the challenges faced and strategies applied by healthcare professionals for the continuity of the Kangaroo Method during the covid-19 pandemic. Qualitative research was conducted using a virtual form from October 2020 to February 2021. Was obtained the participation of 26 health professionals who developed actions of the Kangaroo Method in the Brazilian territory. The data was subjected to thematic-categorical content analysis. Two categories emerged: Changes and Challenges for the Kangaroo Method in the pandemic setting of covid-19; and, Strategies for overcoming and continuing Kangaroo Method practices in times of covid-19. The pandemic generated changes in neonatal care that could weaken the good practices of the Kangaroo Method, such as welcoming, family-baby contact, and parental participation in care. Overcoming strategies were evidenced, such as using technology to mediate interaction with the family and the continued investment in breastfeeding.
