Premature newborns have an immature cardiorespiratory system that hinders adaptation to the extrauterine environment. This leads to multiple complications which require interventions to improve ventilation and gas exchange, like oxygenating using therapeutic support devices such as continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP.
To determine the effect of therapeutic touch on preterm newborns' adaptation to CPAP.
: This is a quasi-experimental study, with a sample of 13 PTNB who underwent therapeutic touch for 15 minutes in 2 daily sessions (6 am and 8 pm), with pre- and post assessment of NOC "Preterm Infant Organization." Descriptive analysis was performed.
The participants were allocated to the control group and the intervention group in a similar way. Pre- and post-intervention changes were observed, but especially in the hand posture indicator, with a difference between both groups of 0.74 with a p-value of 0.006.
The practice of therapeutic touch with RNPT receiving nasal CPAP allows for improving the comfort of the RNPT through physiological and neurobehavioral indicators.
早产新生儿的心肺系统不成熟,这阻碍了他们对宫外环境的适应。这会导致多种并发症,需要采取干预措施来改善通气和气体交换,例如使用持续气道正压通气(CPAP)等治疗支持设备进行氧合。
确定治疗性触摸对早产新生儿适应CPAP的影响。
这是一项准实验研究,样本为13名早产新生儿,他们每天接受2次(上午6点和晚上8点)每次15分钟的治疗性触摸,并对“早产婴儿组织”的护理结局分类(NOC)进行干预前后评估。进行了描述性分析。
参与者以相似的方式被分配到对照组和干预组。观察到干预前后的变化,但特别是在手姿势指标方面,两组之间的差异为0.74,p值为0.006。
对接受鼻CPAP的早产新生儿进行治疗性触摸的做法,可通过生理和神经行为指标提高早产新生儿的舒适度。
