Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A Quasi experimental study to assess the effectiveness of tactile and kinesthetic stimulation of selected parameters among preterm and low birth weight neonates in selected hospitals at Trichy. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the level of selected parameters (weight, feeding pattern) among preterm and low birth weight neonates in control and experimental group. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of tactile and kinesthetic stimulation among preterm low birth weight neonates in the experimental group. 3. To compare the posttest level of selected parameters (weight, feeding pattern) among preterm low birth weight neonates in control group and experimental group. 4. To determine the association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of selected parameters (weight, feeding) among preterm low birth weight neonates in control group. 5. To determine the association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of selected parameters (weight, feeding) among preterm low birth weight neonates in experimental group. HYPOTHESIS: At p<0.05 level of significance. H1 : There was a significant difference in level of selected parameters among preterm low birth weight neonates in experimental group. H2 : There was a significant difference between the level of selected parameters (weight, feeding Pattern) in experimental group than in control group. H3 : There was a significant association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of selected parameters (weight, feeding pattern) among preterm neonates low birth weight in control group. H4 : There was a significant association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of selected parameters (weight, feeding pattern) among preterm low birth weight neonates in experimental group Conceptual Framework : Based on J.W. Kenny’s Open System Model Research design : Quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design E O1 X O2, C O3 O4. Population: Preterm and low birth weight neonates. Samples: The samples consisted of who were preterm and low birth weight neonates. Sample size: 60 samples. Sampling: Non probability convenience sampling. Setting: Janet Nursing Home, Jagatha Maternity Hospital, Trichy. Tools: Observation tool. Data collection : A quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design was used. Pretest level of selected parameters was assessed in control group and experimental group. intervention (Tactile and Kinesthetic Stimulation) was given to experimental group for 15 minutes per day for seven days, pretest level of selected parameters was assessed on 7th day. posttest level of selected parameters was assessed by using the same tool for both group on 7th day. Data analysis : Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (paired "t" test, independent t test and chi-square) were used to test the research hypothesis. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: 1. The result of this study showed that the mean posttest level of selected parameters was significantly higher than the pretest level of selected parameters among preterm low birth weight neonates who received tactile and kinesthetic stimulation in experimental group. 2. The result of this study showed that mean posttest level of selected parameters in experimental group was lower than control group posttest mean score. 3. There was significant association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of selected parameters in control group. 4. There was significant association between selected demographic variables with pretest level of selected parameters in experimental group. CONCLUSION: The study brought out the following conclusion that preterm neonates in experimental group had higher improvement in weight and feeding pattern. Tactile and kinesthetic stimulation helps to improve the development of preterm and low birth weight neonates.
