The diagnosis of neurobehavioral problems in very preterm neonates helps with planning and applying proper and direct therapeutic interventions. (1) Background: The aim of this study was to determine the direct impact of neurobehavior on the sucking reflex and eating abilities of neonates. (2) Methods: We assessed 18 preterm neonates twice hospitalized at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinical Hospital through the use of the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). (3) Results: We found that that a neonate's sucking ability positively correlated with the activity level item from the motor system cluster of the NBAS. (4) Conclusions: Neurobehavior should be closely assessed in very preterm neonates. Firstly, because assessments can detect fundamental problems and help a practitioner plan for early intervention. Secondly, the education of parents regarding the neurobehavior of their child can help in the facilitation of feeding skills and the planning of early rehabilitation.
极早产儿神经行为问题的诊断有助于规划和实施恰当、直接的治疗干预措施。(1)背景:本研究的目的是确定神经行为对新生儿吸吮反射和进食能力的直接影响。(2)方法:我们通过使用新生儿行为评估量表(NBAS)对18名在妇产科临床医院两次住院的早产儿进行了评估。(3)结果:我们发现,新生儿的吸吮能力与NBAS运动系统集群中的活动水平项目呈正相关。(4)结论:应密切评估极早产儿的神经行为。首先,因为评估可以发现基本问题并帮助从业者规划早期干预。其次,对父母进行有关其孩子神经行为的教育有助于促进喂养技能和早期康复计划。
