Method: exploratory, descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, carried out through semi-structured interviews with nurses from a high-risk maternity hospital in Recife (PE), carried out between January and February 2020. The interviews were transcribed and subjected to analysis using the content technique by Bardin. Results: two categories were formulated, nursing care in the kangaroo method and benefits and challenges found in the Kangaroo Method. Participants reported that nursing care is mainly based on guidance from mothers, the shortage of professionals and low adherence were highlighted as main challenges. Conclusion: it was found that nursing practice in the kangaroo method is a complex process, requiring a motivated and specialized nursing team.
