Supporting The Development of Premature Babies in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Otuz yedinci gebelik haftasını doldurmadan önce doğan bebekler prematüre ya da preterm olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu bebeklerden hayatta kalanların birçoğu öğrenme güçlüğü, görme ve işitme sorunları ile ömür boyu yaşamaktadır. Gelişimsel bakım, prematüre bebekler yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatarken kullanılan çeşitli yaklaşımları içeren bir terimdir ve tıbbi bakımın içinde bebeğin gelişimsel gereksinimlerini karşılamayı sağlamaktadır. Gelişimsel bakım hem bebeğin fiziksel çevresindeki hem de bakım verme uygulamalarındaki değişimleri içerir. Gelişimsel bakımın amacı; stresi azaltarak, konforu artırarak ve uykuya teşvik ederek bebeğin sinirsel gelişiminin (neurodevelopment) özendirilmesidir. Bu derlemede, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinin bebek üzerine etkileri ve gelişimsel bakım tartışılacaktır.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Digital Game-Based Learning Given to Nursing Students for the Developmental Care of Infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

“…Text, graphic-based materials, characters, and instructions, which were appropriate for the academic levels of undergraduate nursing students, were used. The theoretical content of the digital game was based on the article published by Turan and Erdoğan 33 (2018). After the content was created, the support of a technical team was needed to develop the game.…”

“…The data were collected by using a Descriptive Characteristics Form and a Developmental Care Knowledge Form prepared by the researchers in accordance with the literature. 30,31,33 The Developmental Care Knowledge Form included 37 open-ended and multiple-choice questions. Examples of questions in the Developmental Care Knowledge Form are given in Table 1.…”

The effect of family integrated care on preparing parents with premature infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit for discharge

“…The FICare model, which has received significant interest in many countries, was evaluated in a randomized controlled trial in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, and it was emphasized that nurses played a key role in the successful implementation of the model [ 10 , 11 ]. It is extremely important to increase the knowledge level of nurses and to strengthen nursing care to provide better quality care to premature babies and their parents in the NICU [ 12 , 13 ]. Parents of premature infants will feel closer to their infants when they receive education and counseling support from well-trained neonatal nurses, and a positive relationship will develop between parents and nurses.…”

Effects of two different positions on stress, pain and feeding tolerance of preterm infants during tube feeding

“…In Turkey, premature birth constitutes 15.6% of all live births (Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health, 2018). Small and fragile PIs often need treatment and nursing care in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) until they are able to survive without intensive care support (Turan & Erdoğan, 2018). Unfortunately, infants in the NICU from birth are frequently exposed to painful and stressful procedures and stimuli (Carbajal et al, 2008).…”
