Effect of early minimal feedings combined with nursing intervention on physiological jaundice of the premature infants
Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect of early minimal feedings combined with nursing intervention on physiological jaundice of the premature infants.Methods:120 premature infants with physiological jaundice were randomly divided into group A,B,C and the control group(30 cases in each group).The early minimal feedings plus caress was adopted in group A;the early minimal feedings plus non nutri-tive sucking was used in group B;the early minimal feedings plus abdominal massage and glycerine enema was implemented in group C. The early minimal feedings and routine nursing care were given to the premature infants in the control group.During the period of nursing, the indicators like jaundice index and serum bilirubin level were monitored.Results:The serum bilirubin level,jaundice index,disappearing time and duration of jaundice was significantly lower and shorter in group A,B and C than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Ca-ress,non nutritive sucking and abdominal massage can effectively relieve the symptoms of physiological jaundice in preterm newborns.
