In this study, sensory stimulation given during the early weeks of life did have an effect on the infant's growth and development, providing support for the idea that sensory enrichment can improve a baby's weight gain, sensory functioning, and the nervous system organization. Other studies have also found that stimulation enhances development and is also associated with better organized central nervous systems (Kastenbaum, 1979; Newman & Newman, 1978; Stratton, 1982). This has important implications for nursing interventions; however, questions remain concerning the optimal type and amount of stimulation to provide to low-birth-weight premature infants. This area needs further investigation with larger sample sizes.
在本研究中，生命早期几周给予的感觉刺激确实对婴儿的生长发育产生了影响，为感觉丰富可改善婴儿体重增加、感觉功能和神经系统组织这一观点提供了支持。其他研究也发现，刺激可促进发育，还与更有序的中枢神经系统相关（卡斯滕鲍姆，1979年；纽曼和纽曼，1978年；斯特拉顿，1982年）。这对护理干预具有重要意义；然而，关于为低出生体重早产儿提供何种最佳类型和剂量的刺激仍存在问题。这一领域需要用更大的样本量进行进一步研究。
