The Effect of Massage on Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Determining the effect of massage on Hyperbilirubinemia in infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit

Randomised, superiority, parallel group trial with blinded outcome assessment. Randomisation was centralised and computerised with concealed randomisation sequence carried out at an external site.

This clinical trial study was conducted in two intervention and control groups on 70 admitted infants in the intensive care unit. Eligible babies will be assigned to intervention and control groups using the random block. Both mothers and infants mothers will be given individual education about breastfeeding and jaundice. Control neonates will receive only routine care. However, the newborns in the intervention group will be massaged in addition to receiving usual care for 5 days, 3 times a day, and 15 minutes each, based on the technique of Fidel's mother (after training by the researcher). The amount of skin infant bilirubin (Coutaneus Billirubin Trans = TCB) is measured daily for five days (although the measurement of bilirubin is not due to research, but according to the routine of the hospital for newborns with jaundice on a daily basis), the first time the meconium is excreted and The number of meconium in 24 hours and in both groups is recorded for five days. During the study, the person receiving the bilirubin level is blind to the groups.

Infants with fetal age 37 to 42 weeks without congenital anomalies. Lack of knowledge of known gastrointestinal and central nervous system problems. Babies weighing over 2500 to 4000 grams. Babies with a one-day age who are not hospitalized at least until the fifth day of birth, and do not have a massage ban.

Neonates with Hyperbilirubinemia who are admitted to the intensive care unit

Evaluation of blood bilirubin reduction in patients in control and intervention groups.

The method of random sampling is blocking. To determine whether each child is in the control group or experience the use of the blu-ring method, it is determined by the throwing of the six-sided dice that controls or experiences from the first to the last one. To implement the blocking method, two modes A and B are considered so that the six blocks are as follows from the different types of placement of these two modes together: 1)ABAB 2)AABB 3) ABBA 4)BBAA 5)BABA 6) BAAB Then, with the throwing of six-sided dice, ten blocks of four (ten modes for the direction of 70 children) are obtained randomly according to the above conditions; each of the selected letters will be considered for children 1-42. A and B modes are also determined randomly (lottery) as controls or as experiences (eg, mode A as control and B as experience). In addition, with the throw of dice, the order of the block is specified. Draw and throw dice in the presence of a supervisor or consultant professor. Examples of dice throwing scenarios, for example, are achieved, and the following results are obtained and the assignment of samples to the experiment group and control will be based on it.

A person who performs the Blilirubin test will be Blind to the groups.
