Preterm infants frequently require resuscitation in the delivery room. Under the intense circumstances of providing lifesaving interventions, caregivers may be unaware of the amount and kind of touch an infant receives. The purpose of this qualitative, ethologic study was to describe the kinds of touch that occur during resuscitation of premature infants immediately after delivery as viewed on videotape. The convenience sample consisted of ten videotapes of premature infant resuscitation performed at a tertiary care center. Using Spradley's Developmental Research Sequence, a description of kinds of touch--including mechanical and human touch--was developed. Descriptive research conceptualizing touch promotes awareness of current practice and may lead to alterations in clinical practice that best support the adaptive response in the depressed infant.
早产儿在产房常常需要复苏。在实施救生干预的紧张情况下，护理人员可能并未意识到婴儿所接受的触摸的量和种类。这项定性的、行为学研究的目的是描述在分娩后即刻对早产儿进行复苏期间如录像所示的触摸种类。便利样本包括在一家三级护理中心进行的十次早产儿复苏录像。运用斯普拉德利的发展研究序列，得出了对包括机械触摸和人为触摸在内的触摸种类的描述。将触摸概念化的描述性研究可提高对当前做法的认识，并可能导致临床实践的改变，从而最有力地支持处于抑制状态婴儿的适应性反应。
