Effect of Earmuffs on Physiological Stability, Sleep-Wake States, and Weight Gain in Preterm Neonates
Effect of Earmuffs on Physiological Stability, Sleep-Wake States, and Weight Gain in Preterm Neonates: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to evaluate the effect of earmuffs on physiological stability, sleep-wake states, and weight gain in preterm neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The study will compare preterm neonates receiving earmuffs in addition to routine nursing care with those receiving routine nursing care alone. Physiological stability will be assessed by measuring heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. Sleep-wake states will be assessed using the Anderson Behavioral State Scoring (ABSS) system, and weight gain will be evaluated through body-weight measurements. The study may provide evidence on the potential role of earmuffs as a supportive nursing intervention for preterm neonates.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Preterm neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may be exposed to environmental noise generated by monitoring devices, alarms, respiratory support equipment, and routine staff activities. Because preterm neonates have immature physiological and neurological systems, protecting their developmental environment is an important aspect of neonatal supportive care.
Earmuffs may help reduce neonates' exposure to environmental noise. However, their effects on physiological stability, sleep-wake states, and weight gain need further evaluation. This study will investigate these outcomes to contribute evidence on the potential role of earmuffs in supportive nursing care for preterm neonates.

介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
実験的：Earmuff Intervention Group
Preterm neonates receive earmuffs in addition to routine nursing care. |
External neonatal earmuffs will be used as a non-pharmacological intervention to reduce preterm neonates' exposure to environmental noise in the neonatal intensive care unit. The earmuffs will be applied according to the manufacturer's instructions and the study protocol. The intervention group will receive earmuffs in addition to routine neonatal care. |
|
介入なし：Control Group
Preterm neonates receive routine nursing care alone, without the earmuff intervention. |

Sleep-Wake States in Preterm Neonates
時間枠：Daily for 5 days (each daily intervention session lasts 4 hours). For each session, measurements will be taken at: 2 minutes pre-intervention, during intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 hour post-intervention.
|
(ABSS) system.Sleep-wake states will be assessed using the Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS). The scale ranges from 1 to 12. Scores from 1-4 indicate sleep states, 5-7 indicate awake states, and 8-12 indicate restless states. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome (more restless/fussy), while lower scores indicate a better outcome (deep sleep). |
Daily for 5 days (each daily intervention session lasts 4 hours). For each session, measurements will be taken at: 2 minutes pre-intervention, during intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 hour post-intervention.

Heart Rate in Preterm Neonates
時間枠：Daily for 5 days (each daily intervention session lasts 4 hours). For each session, measurements will be taken at: 2 minutes pre-intervention, during intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 1 hour post-intervention.
|
Heart rate will be measured in beats per minute (bpm) using a pulse oximeter. |
