Effect of comprehensive oral intervention combined with caregiving touch for the functional rehabilitation of oral ingestion of neonatal intensive care unit preterm infants
Objective To study the oral eating ability of preterm infants is classified as oral ingestion function,and the re-habilitation strategy for oral ingestion dysfunction in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)based on the theoretical framework of the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(Children and Youth Ver-sion)(ICF-CY).Methods From January 2020 to November 2023,a total of 60 preterm infants(29 weeks ≤ gestational age ≤33 weeks,1 500 g≤ birth weight ≤2 000 g)admitted to the NICU of Ganzhou People's Hospital were selected as the study objects and were divided into control group(30 cases)and observation group(30 cases)according to random number table method.The control group received comprehensive oral intervention treatment,while the observation group was treated with comprehensive oral intervention combined with nurturing touch therapy.The feeding performance,feeding progression,weight gain,and average hospital stay were compared between the two groups of preterm infants.Results The feeding effi-ciency and milk intake ratio of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the postmenstrual age(PMA)at the beginning of oral feeding,PMA at complete oral feeding,and transition time were shorter than those of the control group,and the body weight at complete oral feeding and average growth speed of body weight were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The average stay in the observation group was(27.47±6.81)days,which was shorter than(37.25±6.16)days in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of comprehensive oral intervention and caregiving touch treatment can accelerate the recovery of oral ingestion by premature NICU infants so that they can leave the NICU as soon as possible and return to their families and society.
