EFFECT OF MULTISENSORY STIMULATION ON NEUROBEHAVIORAL RESPONSE AND WEIGHT GAIN IN PRETERM INFANTS
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Premature infants undergo a lot of stressful procedures during care and treatment procedures, which may lead to weight changes and a lack of sensory experiences that are vital for normal brain development. They are also exposed to excessive or inappropriately timed stimulation in the NICU that leads to deleterious effects on premature infants whose brains are immaturely developed.
AIM:
This study aims to evaluate multisensory stimulation in stimulating respective sensory receptors for weight gain and neurobehavioral response in preterm infants.
METHOD:
The study will have two groups: control group received routine medical and nursery care in the NICU whereas intervention group received the same programme given to the control group in addition to multisensory stimulation programme for a 45-minute daily session, for 3 consecutive weeks. Twenty preterm infants admitted to the NICU who meet the inclusion criteria will be selected. Eligible infants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups, The outcomes are neurobehavioral response and weight gain, which will be measured before and after the intervention by a Morgan neonatal neurobehavioral examination and a digital weighing scale, respectively.
RESULT:
Statistical analysis will be done after data collection and conclusion will be drawn
KEY WORDS:
