Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will be conducted at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Alexandria University Children's Hospital (AUCH) at Smouha, Alexandria, egypt.

A sample of 60 preterm neonates.The study subjects will be randomly assigned into two equal groups (control and multi-sensory stimulation groups) using random number table. Each group will be comprised of 30 neonates. The first neonate will be assigned to the control group and the second neonate will be assigned to the multi-sensory stimulation group.

Control group: Preterm neonates will receive only routine care of the unit. Multi-Sensory Stimulation group: Preterm neonates will receive multi-sensory stimulation intervention beside routine care of the unit.

Control group

Preterm neonates will receive only routine care of the unit.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Multi-Sensory Stimulation group

In the present study, it is defined as the application of tactile, visual, vestibular, kinesthetic, olfactory, auditory and oral stimulation to preterm neonates to enhance their development.

The intervention will be provided daily in mourning, quiet alert state of neonate, before feeding for 30 min., 5 days per week for two weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multisensory stimulation module

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

* Tactile Stimulation; Gentle stroking massage with moderate pressure, with warm palms for 3 min in a sequence of chest, upper limbs, and lower limbs in supine position.
* Visual Stimulation; Black and white visual stimulation card hung at 8-10 in. from the neonate for 3 min.
* Vestibular Stimulation; neonates placed in a hammock for 3 min.
* Kinesthetic stimulation: It consist of passive exercises (flexion and extension) of upper and lower limbs; one of the hands support the stimulated limb, whereas the other hand will perform the movements for 3 min. in supine position.
* Oral stimulation: the perioral structures will stroke by gently tapping the cheeks, lips and jaw by the index and middle finger for 2 min and stroking the intraoral structures by rubbing the gum and applying downward pressure of the tongue for 2 min. Non-nutritive sucking for 8 minutes.
* Olfactory Stimulation for 3 min. using mother's milk.
* Auditory Stimulation listening to mother's heart beats for 3 min.
