Preterm Neonates and Feeding Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation de la Formation Des infirmières à la Stimulation de l'oralité Des Nouveau-nés Dans Une unité de Réanimation néonatale et Néonatologie : Impact Sur Les Connaissances, Les Pratiques et Sur la qualité Des Soins
Poor oral motor development in preterm neonates is common. Feeding problems lead to longer
hospital stay and higher hospital cost. Different interventions have shown their efficacy to
accelerate transition and move faster to full oral feeding autonomy. Our study aimed to
evaluate the impact of a 2-year education nurse program on feeding pattern and hospital stay
of preterm neonates.
This is an interrupted time series study placed in Intensive Care and Neonatal unit of an
university hospital located in Lyon, France. All preterm neonates are included in the study,
from April 2013 to January 2016.
