Clinical Trial Summary

This study investigated the effect of facilitated tucking in the early postpartum period on preterm neonate comfort and breastfeeding performance.


Description:

Individualized Developmental Care (IDC) offered by NICUs yields positive outcomes in preterm neonates and neonates. Those positions should be comfortable and safe to promote physiological stability and optimal neuromotor development. The facilitated tucking position is the position of the baby in its mother's womb. It calms the neonate and helps it feel safe and maintain body control. It also improves sleep quality, stabilizes physiological parameters, gives a sense of security, supports motor development, and optimizes energy use. The facilitated tucking position makes it easier for preterm neonates to undergo invasive procedures (heel blood collection, aspiration etc.). However, there is no published research examining the effect of the facilitated tucking position in the early postpartum period on physiological parameters, comfort, and breastfeeding performance in preterm neonates.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
Facilitation Tuchking Position
The nurse placed the neonate in the facilitated tucking position by rolling up a sizeable sterile towel in a U-shape and covering it with covers available in the unit and then placed the neonate in a supine position. The physiological parameters at admission and in the 15th and 30th minutes of facilitated tucking were recorded. In the 30th minute of facilitated tucking, the researcher and the observer nurse completed the COMFORTneo simultaneously but separately. The neonate was in the facilitated tucking position until delivered to its mother. The researcher and the observer nurse had a full view of the neonate's face and body when completing the COMFORTneo, which took them about two minutes. After the neonate stabilized (within the first half an hour to an hour), it was delivered to its mother for breastfeeding based on specialist consent. The first breastfeeding was performed and completed the LATCH by researcher and the observer nurse.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Physiological Parameter Follow-up Form The descriptive characteristics form was based on a literature review conducted by the researcher (Axelin, Salanterä & Lehtonen, 2006; Kucukoglu, Kurt & Aytekin, 2015; Yin, Yang, Lee, Li, Hua & Liaw, 2015). Heart rate (min), oxygen saturation (SpO2%), body temperature (°C), and respiration rate (min) was measured at admission to the NICU at 15th minutes First measurement- After admission in NICU 15th minutes
Primary Physiological Parameter Follow-up Form Heart rate (min), oxygen saturation (SpO2%), body temperature (°C), and respiration rate (min) was measured at admission to the NICU at 30th minutes. Secont measurement- After admission in NICU 30th minutes
Primary COMFORT Behavior Scale for Neonates The COMFORT behavior scale for neonates (COMFORTneo) is a Likert-type measure of sedation and comfort needs, and pain and distress levels in NICU neonates. Van Dijk et al. (2009) established the validity and reliability of the COMFORTneo to measure only behavior in neonates. Kahraman, Basbakkal, and Yalaz (2014) adapted the scale to Turkish.
In the 30th minute of facilitated tucking, the researcher and the observer nurse completed the COMFORTneo simultaneously but separately. The neonate was in the facilitated tucking position until delivered to its mother. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was calculated to check the inter-observer agreement. The results indicated a perfect inter-observer agreement. The researcher and the observer nurse had a full view of the neonate's face and body when completing the COMFORTneo, which took them about two minutes.
In the 30th minute
Primary LATCH The LATCH breastfeeding diagnostic form was developed by Jensen, Wallace, and Kelsay (1994) and adapted to Turkish by Yenal and Okumus (2003).
Each letter of the acronym "LATCH" denotes a criterion for breastfeeding assessment: Latch onto the breast (L), audible swallowing (A), type of nipple (T), comfort (C), hold/help (H). The items are scored on a three-point Likert-type scale.
After the neonate stabilized (within the first half an hour to an hour), it was delivered to the mother for breastfeeding based on specialist consent. The researcher and the observer simultaneously and independently observed the mother breastfeeding and completed the LATCH. The first breastfeeding was performed when the neonate was awake and active.
First breastfeeding (Within the first half an hour to an hour after birth).
