Effects of Different Positions During Skin-to-Skin Contact in Preterm Infants Receiving Orogastric Feeding
The Effect of Positions Given During Skin-to-Skin Contact on Physiological Parameters, Comfort and Feeding Tolerance in Orogastric Feeding of Preterm Infants
This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled crossover study to evaluate the effects of different positions during skin-to-skin contact on physiological parameters, comfort, and feeding tolerance in preterm infants receiving orogastric feeding. Preterm infants who meet the eligibility criteria will be included in the study. Each infant will receive orogastric feeding while being held in different positions during skin-to-skin contact, according to the assigned sequence. Physiological parameters, including heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and body temperature, will be assessed during the feeding sessions. Infants' comfort levels will be evaluated using the Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale, and feeding tolerance will be assessed based on clinical signs and abdominal measurements. The findings will be compared across the different positioning conditions to determine their effects on physiological stability, comfort, and feeding tolerance in preterm infants.

Experimentální: Group 1 (CAB Sequence)
Participants assigned to Group 1 will receive three orogastric feeding sessions in the following order: Control (C), Intervention A, and Intervention B. During the first feeding session, the infant will remain in the incubator in a semi-elevated right lateral position without skin-to-skin contact. During the second feeding session, the infant will receive skin-to-skin contact with the mother in a semi-elevated right lateral position. During the third feeding session, the infant will receive skin-to-skin contact with the mother in an upright position. Before each feeding session, the infant's physiological parameters, comfort level, and abdominal circumference will be assessed and recorded. Orogastric feeding will be administered by the researcher five minutes after the assigned positioning or initiation of skin-to-skin contact. Physiological parameters and comfort level will be assessed during and after feeding, and feeding duration and feeding tolerance will be recorded. |
Five minutes before the feeding time, the infant's comfort level, physiological parameters, and abdominal circumference will be assessed and recorded while the infant is in the incubator. The infant will then receive diaper care and will be removed from the incubator wearing only a diaper. Skin-to-skin contact will be initiated by placing the infant on the mother's chest in a semi-elevated right lateral position. The infant will remain in skin-to-skin contact with the mother for a total of 30 minutes. Five minutes after positioning, orogastric feeding will be administered by the researcher. During feeding, the infant will remain in the same position. Physiological parameters and comfort level will be assessed at predefined time points before, during, and after feeding. After completion of the feeding and the intervention, the infant will be returned to the incubator and positioned in the right lateral position until the ne Five minutes before the feeding time, the infant's comfort level, physiological parameters, and abdominal circumference will be assessed and recorded while the infant is in the incubator.

Five minutes after positioning, the infant will be fed by the researcher through an orogastric tube without changing the infant's position. Physiological parameters and comfort level will be assessed at predefined time points during and after feeding. After completion of the intervention, the infant will be returned to the incubator and positioned in the right lateral position until the next feeding session. Five minutes before the feeding time, the infant's comfort level, physiological parameters, and abdominal circumference will be assessed and recorded while the infant is in the incubator. The infant will then receive diaper care and will remain in the incubator in a semi-elevated right lateral position without skin-to-skin contact or any additional intervention. The head of the incubator will be elevated to approximately 45 degrees. The infant will be positioned on the right side and supported with routine nesting to maintain the position. Five minutes after positioning, the infant will be fed by the researcher through an orogastric tube without changing the infant's position. Physiological parameters and comfort level will be assessed at predefined time points during and after feeding. After feeding, the infant will remain in the incubator in the right lateral position until the next feeding session. |
