Interventions

Nurse-Administered Touch Interventionbehavioral

The nurse-administered touch intervention is a bare-handed, comforting touch intervention administered during an episode of essential nursing care. The bedside nurse will cradle the infant's head with one hand, using the other hand to gently support the infant's lower body and legs in a flexed position. The touches will be administered for 1 minute at the start of the essential care episode, 30 seconds after the diaper change, and 1 minute at the conclusion of the care episode.
