Abstract
BACKGROUND: Oil massage therapy and tactile / kinesthetic, promotes the weight gain, increases appetite, improve in sucking behavior, thermoregulation, positive effects on neurobehavioral pattern, enhance mother to child bonding and induce sleep, which helps the preterm infants and low birth weight babies to improve health status as like term infants and decreases the mortality, morbidity rate. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the effectiveness of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation Vs olive oil massage on selected biophysiological parameters among low birth weight babies in selected hospital, Perambalur District. OBJECTIVES: 1. Assess the level of biophysiological parameters before and after tactile/kinesthetic stimulation Vs olive oil massage among low birth weight babies in experimental group I and II. 2. Assess the effectiveness of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation Vs olive oil massage on selected biophysiological parameters among low birth weight babies in experimental group I and II. (3) Compare the effectiveness of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation Vs olive oil massage on selected biophysiological parameters among low birth weight babies in experimental group I and II. (4) Find out the association between the selected demographic variable and post test scores of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation and olive oil massage on selected biophysiological parameters among low birth weight babies in experimental group I and II. Research Design: Factorial Research Design. Setting: The present study was conducted in Ramasamy Hospital, Perambalur district. Participants: The total 30 babies out of which 15 babies from experimental group I and 15 babies from experimental group II. METHOD: Prior to the collection of the data, permission was obtained from the managing director, Ramasamy hospital, Perambalur District. The investigator collected the data from the low birth weight newborn at Ramasamy hospital, Perambalur District. Demographic variables were collected. The bio physiological parameters were monitored. Throughout the procedure aseptic measures were taken. Immediately after pre test the participants randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups. The participants received allocated treatment as flows. It refers to 10 minutes of tactile and kinaesthetic stimulations which includes 3 minutes of tactile stimulation, 4 minutes of kinaesthetic stimulation followed by 3 minutes of tactile stimulation; thrice a day for 5 days was provided. Olive oil which is used to massage the body in order to improve skin texture and increase thermoregulation in a therapeutic maneuver of manipulating the soft tissues firm strokes with palms of the hands from head to foot for 5 minutes, thrice a day for 5 days. The bio physiological parameters were monitored. Throughout the procedure aseptic measures were taken by the researcher. RESULT: In experimental group I: The chi square value of gestational age was 4.86 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of birth weight was 5.13 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of gender was 1.35 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of APGAR score was 1.64 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of birth order was 0.33 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of history of antenatal complications of 0.94 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of history of neonatal complications 1.31 (p < 0.05). It reveals that there were no significant association found between the post test scores of Experimental group I and demographic variables. In experimental group II: The chi square value of gestational age was 2.73 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of birth weight was 4.58 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of gender was 1.05 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of APGAR score was 1.45 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of birth order was 1.38 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of history of antenatal complications of 1.81 (p < 0.05). •The chi square value of history of neonatal complications 0.58 (p < 0.05). It reveals that there were no significant association found between the post test scores of Experimental group II and demographic variables. CONCLUSION: From the findings of the study it can be concluded that, there were significant effectiveness of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation and olive oil massage on bio physiological parameters among low birth weight newborn. There were no significant difference in the effectiveness of tactile/kinesthetic stimulation and olive oil massage on bio physiological parameters among low birth weight newborn. There were no significant association between post test scores of bio physiological parameters and their selected demographic variables.
