The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of behavioral state activity during nipple feeding on feeding success for a group of 20 preterm infants. The infants, fed per hospital policy at scheduled three-hour intervals, were observed during four early nipple feedings. Nine of the 20 infants were able to successfully nipple their four nipple feedings; the other 11 infants were unable to successfully complete their nipple feedings. The 9 successful feeders exhibited significantly more awake behavior during feeding than unsuccessful feeders (F = 7.82; p = .012). The unsuccessful feeders spent 53 percent of their feeding in sleep states; successful feeders were in sleep states only 30 percent of their feeding time. Along with other research, these findings suggest that infant behavioral state may be a key consideration for nipple feeding success in preterm infants.
本研究的目的是检验一组20名早产儿在经口喂养期间行为状态活动对喂养成功的影响。这些婴儿按照医院政策每隔三小时定时喂养，在最初的四次经口喂养期间进行观察。20名婴儿中有9名能够成功完成四次经口喂养；另外11名婴儿未能成功完成经口喂养。9名喂养成功的婴儿在喂养期间表现出的清醒行为明显多于喂养不成功的婴儿（F = 7.82；p = 0.012）。喂养不成功的婴儿在喂养过程中有53%的时间处于睡眠状态；喂养成功的婴儿在喂养时间中只有30%处于睡眠状态。与其他研究一起，这些发现表明婴儿行为状态可能是早产儿经口喂养成功的一个关键考虑因素。
