Insights

Multi-dimensional sensory touch and family nursing significantly improve preterm infant feeding outcomes. This approach shortens hospital stays and enhances infant development and physical signs.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Developmental pediatrics
  • Nursing research

Background:

  • Preterm infants often face challenges with feeding and require specialized care.
  • Optimizing feeding interventions is crucial for improving outcomes in premature neonates.
  • Current nursing practices aim to enhance the well-being and developmental trajectory of preterm infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of multi-dimensional sensory touch and family-accompanied whole-process nursing on feeding interventions for preterm infants.
  • To compare the effectiveness of this combined nursing approach against conventional methods.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective experimental study involving 100 preterm infants (January 2022 - January 2024).
  • An intervention group (n=50) received multi-dimensional sensory touch and family-accompanied nursing.
  • A control group (n=50) received conventional nursing care.

Main Results:

  • The intervention group demonstrated a significantly shorter transition time to oral feeding, gastric tube extubation, and hospital stay (P < 0.05).
  • Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment Scale (NBNA) scores significantly increased in the intervention group (P < 0.05).
  • Apgar scores were significantly higher in the intervention group before discharge (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Multi-dimensional sensory touch combined with family-accompanied whole-process nursing effectively enhances feeding interventions for preterm infants.
  • This integrated approach significantly improves the physical signs and promotes the gradual development of preterm infants.
  • The findings support the adoption of this specialized nursing strategy in neonatal intensive care units.

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Taste Buds and Receptors

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
