Filter by:Purpose This study was carried out to examine the effectiveness of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) exercises on mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy and depression level with preterm infants. Methods This study was conducted in a randomized controlled experimental design. The sample of the study consisted of 70 mothers with 32-36 weeks preterm infants (35/35 in experimental/control group) and hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the university hospital in which the study was conducted. Introductory information form; Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES), Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), and patient follow-up form were used to collect data. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) exercises were practiced on the mothers in the experimental group. The mothers were given training and instructions about the exercises. They were applied in the morning and evening for 2 weeks by the instructions. The BSES and EPDS score of both groups were evaluated in the 1st and 2nd-week follow-up.
This study will conduct to evaluate the effect of using white noise and breast milk odor on pain during heel lance procedure in premature newborns. This study is a randomized controlled trial. The study will conduct with premature newborns who were born between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation. The premature newborns will be divided into three groups by application of pain relief methods during heel lance to check blood sugar in newborns. These groups can be described as breast milk odor (n=22), white noise (n=22) and control group (n=22). The intervention will start 5 minutes before the procedure and last 5 minutes after the procedure. The infants will be recorded with a video camera by researcher before, during, and after the procedure. Premature Infant Pain Profile Revised (PIPP-R) will be used for pain grading.
Objective: It is aimed to examine the effect of facilitated tucking after vaginal delivery on late preterm stress, comfort and physiological parameters. Design: The study was designed randomized controlled study. Setting: The study was conducted spontaneous vaginal delivery of late preterm at State Hospital between January-June 2020. Participants: In order to determine the sample size of the study, power analysis was performed using the G*Power (v3.1, 7) program, and a total of 60 preterm were sampled, facilitated tucking (n=30) and control group (n=30). Methods: In the study, Newborn Information and Registration Form, Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale (NCBS) and Newborn Stress Scale (NSS) were used. As for physiological parameters, for the temperature is used private digital thermometer, for the saturation and heart rate is used device preferred in hospital routine and lastly the respirator rate is clocked by nurses.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of 3 different methods (breast milk pacifier, sucrose pacifier and pacifier) in reducing pain caused by Orogastric Tube (OGT) insertion in preterm newborns by monitoring behavioral and physiological changes in infants. The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study.
This research was carried out in order to determine the effect of breast massage and hot compresses on milk release and anxiety to mothers with premature babies in YYBU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)
Our study aim to evaluate the effect of online program that provides education to parents of premature infants in which stayed in the neonatal intensive care units (NICU),in their motor,socail-communişcation development and the parents stress level.
Newborns hospitalized with some respiratory problems in the clinic are taken to noninvasive mechanical ventilation support and vascular access is required for some treatments to be applied to these newborns. The presence of nasal cannulas used for noninvasive mechanical ventilation support in newborns causes restlessness, agitation and stress in infants. The uneasiness and stress experienced by babies during vascular access also affects effective vascular access, causing other doses to be delayed or skipped due to treatment doses that are not completed on time. In addition, the pain experienced by babies indirectly affects nurses. It has been reported in many studies that it is effective in reducing the pain experienced by newborns with non-pharmacological methods. Simultaneous white noise will be played and therapeutic touch applied to help touch methods and white noise listening help reduce or control newborns' pain. Many studies have shown that touching to and listening white noise is effective in reducing pain. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of white noise-accompanied therapeutic touch application on pain level and physiological parameters and noninvasive mechanical ventilation support during peripheral intravenous catheterization in premature infants hospitalized for treatment. Hypothesis 0: The application of therapeutic touch with white noise during peripheral intravenous catheter intervention in premature infants has no effect on the level of pain. Hypothesis 1: White noise-accompanied therapeutic touch application reduces pain level during peripheral intravenous catheter intervention in premature infants. Hypothesis 2: The therapeutic touch application accompanied by white noise during peripheral intravenous catheter intervention in premature infants positively affects physiological parameters.
Caffeine citrate, the first-line agent for apnea of prematurity, enhances diaphragmatic activity. EDI values of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) modes can be used to quantify the diaphragmatic activity triggered by electrical impulse from the respiratory center. This study aims to evaluate the EDI changes following caffeine citrate administration and cessation in preterm infants, and whether such changes are affected by different doses used variably in clinical settings.
Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) can be provided using rigid or soft catheters, but possible differences in terms of easiness of use and success of the procedure are unknown. A difficult procedure may have some drawbacks such as the prolonged duration of the laryngoscopy needed to insert the device, which is likely to aggravate the invasiveness of the procedure and result in stressful consequences such as bradycardia, hypoxia, and hemodynamic changes. Objectives: i) time of device positioning, ii) success of the procedure of positioning the device, iii) participant's satisfaction.
This prospective cohort study was conducted in the Christiana Care Health System Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It occurred at two time periods: Time period 1 included infants admitted to the traditional, open bay NICU. Time period 2 included infants admitted to the new private, single family room NICU. There was a 3 month period between Time period 1 and Time period 2 to ensure that there was no patient overlap. Stool samples and environmental samples were collected at 1 and 4 weeks after birth in both time periods. The objective of this study was to establish the gastrointestinal microbiome of infants born at less than 32 weeks gestation admitted to the exiting open bay NICU and compare it to the gastrointestinal microbiome of infants born at less than 32 weeks admitted to the new private, single family room NICU.
