The Effect of Day-Night Cycle on the Transition Time to Full Enteral Feeding in Preterm Newborns Receiving Oropharyngeal Colostrum
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating day-night cycle application and routine practice for Full Enteral Nutrition and the Day and Night Cycle. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the day-night cycle on the transition time to full enteral nutrition in premature infants receiving oropharyngeal colostrum. The study was conducted with a randomized controlled experimental design to test the potential of an environment that supports the biological rhythms of premature infants to improve feeding processes. The study was conducted on 60 premature infants born at 28-32 weeks of gestation. Infants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, and dark-colored covers were used to create a day-night cycle in the experimental group.

Interventions
In this group, colostrum delivered to the unit within the first 5 days of life was administered by the nurse every three hours for 14 days. In order to create a day/night cycle, a white incubator cover was used routinely in the unit during the day (between 08.00-20.00 hours) and a dark colored incubator cover was used at night (between 20.00-08.00 hours).
