Immediate Effect Of Diaper Change Activity With Individualized Developmental Care On Preterm Neonates Neurobehavior.

Dr. Priya Prakash Rai, Dr. Hemant Nandgaonkar

Abstract :

Background– Preterm born infants experience a range of adverse physical and neurobehavioral problems. NICU‘s and their various stimuli such as exposure to light, loud noise and stressful interventions may interfere with cognitive and behavioral development of preterm newborns. Diaper change are routine procedures in NICU but can be stressful for preterm neonates so attention needs to be given to the Individualized Neuro behavior of the neonates during activities like Diaper change. Objective– To observe Neurobehavior and Physiological parameters of the neonates during diaper change activity & to see the immediate effect with Individualized care on Neurobehavior. Study Design– Experimental and single system type of study. Methods– Written consent was taken from mothers of Preterm infants. SPO2, Heart Rate, Stress and Self–Regulatory signs were noted on NIDCAP sheet before, during and after diaper change activity and all the parameters were analyzed. Result– There was Significant improvement in Heart Rate and in APIB Scores in infants (State Attention and Interaction/ Autonomic and Visceral) before and after training during diaper change activity. Conclusion– Neuroprotective strategies like correct handling, positioning and appropriate method of diaper change activity reduced the distress level of infants in NICU
