Abstract

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the effectiveness of nesting on posture and motor performance among high risk newborns in Vimal Jyothi hospital at Coimbatore. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the posture and motor performance of high risk newborns in experimental and control group. 2. To provide nesting among high risk newborns in experimental group. 3. To reassess the effectiveness of nesting on posture and motor performance of high risk newborns in both experimental and control group. 4. To compare the effectiveness of nesting on posture and motor performance of high risk newborns in both experimental and control group. 5. To associate the effectiveness of nesting on posture and motor performance of high risk newborns with their selected demographic variables. METHODOLOGY: The research design selected for the study was quasi experimental research design (pretest posttest control group design), sample size for this study was 60 (30 experimental group and 30 control group). Posture and motor performance among High risk newborns was assessed by using Infant Position and Assessment Tool (IPAT) and Modified Ferrari Tool and demographic variables were used to collect data. RESULTS: Inferential and Descriptive Statistics were used to analyze the data. The paired ‘t’ test was performed to compare the effectiveness of nesting in experimental and control group. The pretest ‘t’ value of posture among experimental and control group is ‘t’ = 0.32. The posttest ‘t’ value of posture among experimental and control group is ‘t’ = 15.1. The pretest ‘t’ value of motor performance among experimental and control group is ‘t’ = 0.61. The posttest ‘t’ value of motor performance among experimental and control group is ‘t’ = 13.2. This reveals that there was a significant difference exists between the pretest and posttest value of posture and motor performance among experimental and control group. It showed that the Nesting is effective in maintaining posture and motor performance in experimental group. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that the high risk newborns maintaining posture and motor performance after Nesting. So, the Nesting was effective in maintaining posture and motor performance.
