Inactive awake behavioral states have been associated with reduced heart rates and more successful feeding in preterm infants. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of three different interventions to facilitate these optimal feeding states. Twenty preterm infants (gestational ages 27-33 weeks, M = 31.6, SD = 1.7; birth weights 931-2,140 grams, M = 34, SD = 373) serving as their own controls were randomly administered nonnutritive sucking, nonnutritive sucking plus rocking, and stroking interventions; and a control condition. There were significantly more inactive awake states with the nonnutritive sucking and nonnutritive sucking plus rocking interventions than with the stroking intervention and the control conditions. The results suggest that there are interventions that can help preterm infants in the transition from gavage to oral feeding and potentially shorten their hospital stays.
非活跃清醒行为状态与早产儿心率降低及更成功的喂养相关。本研究的目的是测试三种不同干预措施促进这些最佳喂养状态的效果。二十名早产儿（胎龄27 - 33周，M = 31.6，SD = 1.7；出生体重931 - 2140克，M = 34，SD = 373）作为自身对照，被随机给予非营养性吸吮、非营养性吸吮加摇晃以及抚摸干预；还有一个对照条件。与抚摸干预和对照条件相比，非营养性吸吮以及非营养性吸吮加摇晃干预产生的非活跃清醒状态显著更多。结果表明，存在一些干预措施可以帮助早产儿从管饲过渡到经口喂养，并有可能缩短他们的住院时间。
