The effect of tactile-kinesthetic stimulations through mother on physical development, reflex state and motor development in preterm neonates of neonatal unit
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tactile kinetic stimulation on physical development, reflex state and motor development in preterm neonates. So, among all of the preterm neonates of Amiralmomenin hospital neonatal unit of Semnan city, 40 neonates and their mothers selected purposefully and randomly divided to experimental and control groups. Then, mothers of experimental group conducted tactile kinetic stimulation on neonates to completion of fetal period (40 weeks gestation) for 20 minutes and three times a day whereas, control group received only usual care. The results showed tactile kinetic stimulation led to significant improvement in physical development of experimental group compared to the control group. Moreover, reflex state of the neonates in both groups there was no significant difference. While, motor development of neonates in the experimental group at end of intervention and after 4 months, significantly better than the control group.
