Abstract :
Preterm babies are the delicate
lives to be taken care of very intelligently as well as
delicately. Preterm babies are physically immature and
physiologically unstable. They cannot tolerate
environmental stimuli. Due to immaturity, they often
lack adequate muscle tone and are at the risk of
developing an abnormal posture. Nesting helps maintain
position, promote comfort and provide physiological,
behavioral and postural stability to premature babies.
The purpose of the study is to see effectiveness of nesting
on posture and movement of in healthy preterm infant.
Methods: Quasi experimental pre and post -test control
group design was used to measure the effectiveness of
nesting on posture and movement. Non - probability
Purposive sampling technique was used to select the
sample comprised of 60 preterm babies at NICU in
selected hospital, Coimbatore. The study used that the
Infant Position Assessment Tool and Modified Ferrari
Observational Checklist to assess the effectiveness of
Nesting on Posture and Movement.Results: Post-test
mean score of nesting on posture was found to be 11.07
andSD1.285 in experimental group. Where as in control
group it was found to be 7.20 andSD1. 669.
Thestatisticalpaired, ‘t’testvalueis13.357. Post-test mean
score of nesting on movement was found to be 11.07 and
SD1.285 in experimental group. Where as in control
group nesting was found to be 7.20 and SD1. 669. The
statistical paired t‟test value is 20. 451. The study found
that There is a significant correlation (r= 0.296) was
found between position and movement. Conclusion:
Nesting is convenient, cost effective, requires less time
and skills, hence it is easy for the nurse to practice and in
turn be beneficial for preterm babies, starts with simple
intervention by making nest for the preterm.
