International Journal of Clinical Case Reports, 2025, Vol.15, No.4, 182-189 http://medscipublisher.com/index.php/ijccr 187 showed that such inconsistencies would cause significant variations in the aggregated data. Therefore, it is necessary for future studies to use uniform intervention criteria (MacMillan et al., 2018; Li and Zhang, 2024). 6.2 The influence of cultural, environmental and institutional factors on research results The effect and implementation of rooming-in with infants can be influenced by different cultures, environmental backgrounds and hospital systems. For instance, there are differences among different countries and regions in terms of the proportion of breastfeeding, the degree of family participation, and the mother-infant relationship, all of which can affect the implementation effect of rooming-in (MacMillan et al., 2018; Lee et al., 2019). These background differences may also affect mothers' acceptance of this model and the feasibility of its implementation, thereby leading to inconsistent research results. Some internal factors of the hospital are also very important, such as the number of nurses, the allocation of resources, and whether it supports a family-centered care model. All these will affect the actual effect of room-sharing with infants. Some studies have pointed out that although many studies have mentioned positive changes such as increased breastfeeding and improved post-discharge care, due to different environments, these indicators are often not uniformly evaluated or deeply analyzed (MacMillan et al., 2018; Amin et al., 2024). Therefore, when formulating intervention plans, these actual situations must be taken into account to ensure the effectiveness and applicability of the plans. 6.3 In the future, multi-center, large-sample, standardized RCT studies need to be carried out To address the current problems, it is necessary to conduct multi-center, large-sample randomized controlled trials (RCTS) in the future and unify the intervention standards. Most of the existing studies have small sample sizes and are concentrated in a single hospital, resulting in insufficient statistical power of the results and limited generalizability of the research findings (MacMillan et al., 2018). Larger-scale collaborative research can help more accurately assess the effect of rooming-in with infants and also assist in identifying the groups that will benefit the most. Standardized RCTS should also include strict quality assessment, uniform outcome measures (such as the Standard Depression Scale), and clear reporting of limitations. By improving the research design and reporting methods, the credibility and repeatability of the research can be enhanced, thereby providing a reliable basis for the promotion of the infantile room care model (MacMillan et al., 2018). 7 Concluding Remarks Rooming-in with infants is a feasible form of care and is increasingly recommended as a routine practice for postpartum care, especially for healthy full-term newborns and their mothers. Studies show that this approach helps increase the rate of breastfeeding, enhance the mother-infant relationship, and reduce the need for drug treatment in certain special groups, such as infants with neonatal withdrawal syndrome. However, to smoothly implement room-sharing with infants, it is essential to strictly adhere to safety regulations, especially in terms of safe sleep and monitoring high-risk mothers and infants. Hospitals and obstetric institutions should formulate clear policies to leverage the benefits of rooming-in for infants while also being aware of potential risks, such as neonatal jaundice or sleep-related issues. These policies should also be adjusted according to the needs of different patients and hospital resources to ensure that rooming-in with infants can be safely and effectively integrated into daily postpartum care. In order to better promote room-sharing with infants, it is necessary to provide comprehensive training for medical staff. Staff members should be familiar with the basic principles of sharing a room with infants, knowledge of safe sleep, and breastfeeding techniques, and be able to identify any abnormal conditions that may occur in both mothers and infants. During this process, nurses play a crucial role. They not only offer guidance and comfort to new mothers but also provide practical assistance, enhancing their confidence and care capabilities. At the same time, family members should also be encouraged to participate in care. The support from family members can relieve the pressure on mothers, enhance their satisfaction with care, and also help improve the overall health of both mothers and babies. Hospitals should create conditions to make it more convenient for
