The Effect of Massage, Wipe Bathing and Tub Bathing on Physiological Measurements of Late Premature Newborns: A Randomised Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Control, Massage, and 2 other interventions for Premature Newborn and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 192 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Purpose: This randomized experimental study aimed to analyze the effect of massage, wipe bathing and tub bathing of late premature newborns on their physiological measurements. Design and Methods: . This randomized experimental study was conducted on 192 newborns at the gestational week of 34 or higher in the newborn intensive care unit of a university hospital. The researcher applied massage (n: 48), tub bathing (n: 48), and wipe bathing (n: 48) to the newborns. The control group (n: 48) received no intervention except for the routine clinical practices. The newborns' physiological measurements before, immediately after and 30 minutes after the interventions were taken and recorded on the "Newborn Follow-up Form." The statistical analysis was performed using percentages, means, and ANOVA test.
