Abstract

Introduction: Sleep contributes a pivotal part in neurological improvement of new borns. New-borns admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) perceive many sounds of monitors and this disturb their rest period. To enhance the sleep duration of neonates many non-pharmacological methods are available like placing newborn in a nest made with rolled cotton bed sheet and wrapping the baby with white cotton cloth. In this research effect of these two positions were assessed.

Methods: A randomized clinical trial was carried out on 76 preterm neonates in NICU of a tertiary care center. Neonates were included in the study by random method. Sleep duration and frequency of arousal was assessed through direct observation. Physiological parameters were assessed by using cardiac monitor. The information collected were analyzed using SPSS version 21.

Results: Sleep duration of nesting group showed significantly higher than swaddling group, which mean (SD) was 206.4 (28), 183.1 (34.78) minutes, respectively. Additionally, waking up was observed less frequency in the nesting group.

Conclusion: Nesting enhances the duration of sleep among preterm neonates and hence this can be given priority in NICU.
