“…As such, the risk of performance and detection bias within the reported results is high; however, participant blinding in such studies is difficult to achieve when the consenting parent is actively involved. Rates of attrition were reported in all studies except 3 [41,42,47], and of those that reported loss to follow-up, the reasons for withdrawal or dropout were clearly reported [26,[38][39][40]46]. The study by Johnston et al [38] was the only one with an attrition rate > 20% (20/65; 70%); as such, this study was significantly underpowered, and thus the results should be interpreted cautiously.…”

“…Seven studies were rated weak by the review authors [38-40, 42-44, 48], 2 were rated moderate [41,47], and 3 were rated strong [26,45,46]. The study designs included 1 randomised controlled trial [48], 3 controlled clinical trials [39,42,45], 1 cohort study [43], 2 case-control trials [26,41], 4 interrupted time series [40,44,46,47] and 1 crossover trial [38].…”

“…Two studies used the live maternal voice as the exposure stimulus [26,40], one used the recorded maternal voice via a bone conduction device attached to the participant's wrist [41] and all other studies used the recorded maternal voice delivered by tape recorder [48], micro speaker [38,39,42,[45][46][47] or earphones [43,44]. Five studies filtered the maternal voice through a low-pass filter prior to the intervention and combined it with biological sounds and heartbeats to replicate the in utero environment [38,42,[45][46][47].…”

Background: Elevated sound levels and low language exposures of preterm infants (< 37 weeks) cared for in the neonatal unit contribute to poorer growth, cognition, language and motor outcomes. These delays can have lasting effects on childhood development and continue throughout adult life. Whilst recommendations have been established for appropriate sound exposure levels in neonatal units, very little is known about the optimal level of language exposure. Objectives: To examine the evidence regarding language exposure, both measured (observational) and prescribed (interventional), in preterm infants (< 37 weeks) cared for in neonatal units and to identify optimal exposure levels to promote neurodevelopment. Search Methods: An electronic search of English-language articles with an open date range was conducted in the PubMed, MEDLINE, Joanna Briggs, CINAHL and Cochrane databases and in Google Scholar. The criteria were limited to original research studies of preterm infants (< 37 weeks) in which language was either measured as it naturally occurred in the neonatal unit environment or through a language intervention. Results: The search produced a total of 2,367 articles, 49 of which were related to language. A full-text review of these articles identified 10 eligible studies and 6 studies from reference searches. Conclusions: Preterm infants experience low levels of language exposure and high sound exposures in neonatal units. There is a lack of conclusive evidence to recommend an optimal level of language exposure to support improved neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. Further research from large, good-quality clinical trials is required before clear direction can be provided to inform clinical practice.

“…However, the mothers of preterm neonates are sometimes unavailable because they are ill or caring for other children and it may not be possible for them to be present during a painful procedure. Therefore, the effect of using prerecorded maternal voices has been studied in the literature (9)(10)(11). …”

Randomised study showed that recorded maternal voices reduced pain in preterm infants undergoing heel lance procedures in a neonatal intensive care unit

Aim: Alleviating pain in neonates should be the goal of all caregivers. We evaluated whether recorded maternal voices were safe and effective in limiting pain in preterm infants undergoing heel lance procedures in the neonatal intensive care unit of an Italian children's hospital.Methods: This prospective, controlled study took place from December 2013 to December 2015. We enrolled 40 preterm infants, born at a 26-34 weeks of gestation, at a corrected gestational age 29-36 weeks and randomised them to listen or not listen to a recording of their mother's voice during a painful, routine heel lance for blood collection. Changes in the infants' Premature Infant Pain Profile, heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure during the procedure were compared by analysis of variance. Possible side effects, of apnoea, bradycardia, seizures and vomiting, were also recorded.Results: Both groups showed a marked increase in PIPP scores and decrease in oxygen saturation during the procedure, but infants in the treatment group had significantly lower PIPP scores (p = 0.00002) and lower decreases in oxygen saturation (p = 0.0283). No significant side effects were observed.Conclusion: Using recorded maternal voices to limit pain in preterm infants undergoing heel lance procedures appeared safe and effective.

Abstract-Participant modeling may be the optimal approach in health education with the rational, modeling, guided participation, and reinforcement. Multisensory stimulation is very important for the growth and development of the baby, so the mother's knowledge and skills are indispensable to maximize baby's multisensory stimulation. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of health education: participant modeling towards mother's knowledge and skills about multisensory stimulation in infant. This study was quasi-experimental pretestposttest with control group design and using purposive sampling. Total population were 140 mothers and obtained 64 samples who determined by inclusion criteria. The data collected by questionnaire and observation and then analyzed by Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. Independent variable is health education and dependent variables are technical and interpersonal skills. The result showed that the differences knowledge between group's treatment (p=0.005) and control (p=0.039). The differences between technical skill (p=0,028) in control group, technical skill (p=0.003) and interpersonal skill (p=0.002) in treatment group. There was no difference in interpersonal skill of control group (0,212). There were differences between treatment and control groups, knowledge (p=0.019), technical skills (p=0.013), and interpersonal skills (p=0.020). Participant modeling consists of rational, modeling, guided participation, and reinforcement were effective in improving mother's knowledge and skills in infants's multisensory stimulation, furthermore nurses can socialize health education: participant modeling to mothers about the importance of infant's multisensory stimulation for assisting the growth and development.
