Emotional and neuroendocrine regulation in very preterm and full-term infants at six months of age

Necessidades humanas básicas alteradas em neonatos com cateter central de inserção periférica

“…Além disso, o RN manifesta sintomas de estresse, tanto físico quanto comportamental, como resposta ao estímulo de enfrentamento do período de desenvolvimento extrauterino. Esse estímulo, por sua vez, tem relação direta com o meio ambiente ao qual o neonatal está inserido 34 .…”

e Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale: A validity and reliability study in a Turkish sample

“…Correlation between items and factor is explained by factor loading value (factor coefficient) and factor loading needs to be a minimum of 0.40 for any item to be assumed within the scope of a factor (13). In this direction, items of the scale in terms of factor loadings were as follows: items 23,22,14,15,2,24,21,12,10,7,9,1,13,11,4,3,25,6,5,8,16,26, and 18 were in the first factor and items 33, 31, 30, 32, 34, 35, and 29 were in the second factor. In accordance with analysis results, items receiving loadings from factors of the BNBAS were examined and the first factor consisting of 23 items was named the "Behavior Subscale" and the second factor consisting of 7 items was named the "Support Subscale".…”

“…Newborns display symptoms of physical and behavioral stress as a response to stressors they face in this period, when they are not developmentally prepared. Previous studies indicated that there is a relationship between behaviors of neonate and stimulus and the environment (6)(7)(8)(9). Therefore, it is important to assess behaviors of newborns in the period of adaptation to extrauterine life (10).…”

Infant Mental Health (IMH) in the Intensive Care Unit: Considerations for the Infant, the Family and the Staff

“…Of particular interest is the impact of the physical and caregiving environment during the hospitalization on the ability of the high risk and/or medically fragile baby to develop the capacity for appropriate and developmentally essential regulation of his or her sleeping, eating and irritability. [45][46][47] Wolke and associates have explored early regulatory difficulties in children, in particular, those who were born early. 6,7,[45][46][47][48] Those who demonstrate dysregulation in these areas very early on were more likely to go on to demonstrate cognitive and socio-emotional challenges as they grew into toddlerhood and preschool.…”

“…[45][46][47] Wolke and associates have explored early regulatory difficulties in children, in particular, those who were born early. 6,7,[45][46][47][48] Those who demonstrate dysregulation in these areas very early on were more likely to go on to demonstrate cognitive and socio-emotional challenges as they grew into toddlerhood and preschool. The IMH provider can assist parents in intensive care to understand how to help with the infant's regulation early on, emphasizing the organizing effects of the parent-infant relationship.…”
