Abstract
The present study, “Effectiveness of Positive Touch on Mother-Infant Bonding and Behavior Cues among High risk newborns admitted in NICU at KMCH COIMBATORE” was undertaken by Reg.No.30104412 during the year 2011-2012 in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of master of science in nursing at KMCH college of Nursing Coimbatore which is affiliated to the Tamilnadu Dr.M.G.R. Medical University. OBJECTIVES: 1. Assess the Mother- Infant Bonding and Behavior Cues of High risk Newborns in experimental and control group. 2. Evaluate the effectiveness of Positive Touch on Mother- Infant Bonding and Behavior Cues of High risk Newborns. 3. Associate the mother-infant bonding and behavior cues of High risk newborns with selected demographic variables. The study was based on Ramona T. Mercers modified maternal role attainment model. A quasi experimental matched control group design was adopted for this study. Teaching module, and observational check list were validated by subject experts and a pilot study was conducted to ascertain feasibility and validity. Non probability purposive sampling technique was applied for selection of 60 mothers and their newborns. Positive touch was given to the experimental group and conventional care to the control group. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: ❖ The obtained ‘t’ value 17.59 showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.01) in mother-infant bonding between preterm babies with their mothers in experimental group than in control group which was of 4.387. The obtained ‘t’ value 12.50 showed that there was significant difference (p<0.01) in mother-infant bonding between term babies with their mothers in experimental group than in control group which was of 3.674. ❖ There is an evidence of effectiveness of positive touch based on the ‘t’ value which was 7.084 implied that there was a significant difference(p<0.01) in mother- infant bonding of preterm babies in both groups thus H1 is accepted. And obtained ‘t’ value 5.261 showed that there was significant difference (p<0.01) in mother- infant bonding with their term babies who implemented positive touch to their babies than mothers who did not thus H1 is accepted. ❖ The computed‘t’ value 11.500 showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.01) in behavior cues of preterm babies who received positive touch than in control group which was of 4.183 at. For the term babies, obtained ‘t’ value 12.220 showed that there was a significant difference( p<0.01) in behavior cues after implementing positive touch than in control group which was of 2.432. ❖ There is an evidence of effectiveness of positive touch based on the ’t’ value 4.498 showed that there was a significant difference(p<0.01) in behavior cues of preterm babies in both groups thus H2 is accepted. The computed ’t’ value 5.609 showed that there was a significant difference (p<0.01) in behavior cues of term babies in both groups thus H2 is accepted. ❖ With regard to association between mother-infant bonding and education in experimental group showed a significant difference (p<0.01) in which the ‘t’ value was 4.232. The association with control group also showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in which the ’t’ value was 2.481. The ‘F’ value 15.481 showed there was a significant relationship (p<0.01) between birth weight and behavior cues of High risk newborn in experimental group at. The ‘F’ value 9.988 showed there was a significant relationship (p<0.01) between birth weight and behavior cues of High risk newborns in control group.
