Istanbul University·interventional·Posted Nov 11, 2016·Updated Oct 18, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Semielevated Side-lying Position-ESL and Semielevated Supine Position for Feeding Behavior. Completed, enrolled 80 participants.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Semielevated Side-Lying (ESL) and Semielevated Supine Position (ESU) positions used in bottle-feeding of very preterm infants upon their physiological characteristics and feeding performances.

Interventions

Semielevated Side-lying Position-ESLother

The infants in the experimental group (n = 38) were held in the ESL position. In this position, their head and trunk were elevated to an angle of 45-60◦ with the help of a pillow prepared by the researcher from the beds that were previously used in the unit and infantswere held in the side-lying position as in the breast-feeding position where their right ear faced the ceiling and the other ear faced the arms of the researcher. Their knees and hip were leaned against the researcher's arms and their head and neck were held at the same level by the researcher; whereas, their chin was held in the flexion posture mildly facing the floor. The researcher supported their head, neck, and shoulder with her left hand and controlled the bottlewith her right hand.

Semielevated Supine Positionother

The ESU position was applied to the infants in the control group (n=42). In this position, their head and trunk were elevated to an angle of 45-60◦ with the help of the same pillow that was prepared by the researcher from the beds previously used in the unit and was used in the experimental group and they was laid in the supine position in the arms of the researcher. Their head and neck were held at the same level by the researcher, whereas their chin was held in the flexion posture mildly facing the floor. The researcher supported their head, neck, and shoulder with her left hand and controlled the bottlewith her right hand.
