ABSTRACT

Exploring effective interventions to compensate for developmental delay in premature neonates and reduce their mothers’ anxiety is of great significance. This research aimed at examining the effects of body massage on Iranian premature neonates’ physical and motor development, and on their mother’s anxiety and attachment. Forty premature neonates and their mothers were recruited and randomly assigned to either the control or experimental groups. Results showed that the body massage lead to greater weight, motor development, and larger bicep and thigh circumference compared to the control group. However, no significant differences were found in other parts of the neonates’ bodies, nor were there differences in reflex status between the groups. Furthermore, the levels of mothers’ attachment and their anxiety in the experimental group significantly increased and decreased, respectively. Therefore, massage therapy as a low-cost, non-medicinal treatment can be applied to improve neonates’ physical and motor development and their mothers’ psychological status.

身体按摩对早产儿身体状况及其母亲心理状况的有效性研究

摘要

探索有效的干预措施,弥补早产儿发育迟缓,减少母亲的焦虑,具有重要意义。这项研究旨在检查身体按摩对伊朗早产儿的身体和运动发育以及他们母亲的焦虑和依恋的影响。招募了 40 名早产儿及其母亲,并随机分配到对照组或实验组。结果表明,与对照组相比,身体按摩导致更大的体重、运动发育以及更大的二头肌和大腿围。然而,在新生儿身体的其他部位没有发现显着差异,两组之间的反射状态也没有差异。此外,实验组母亲依恋水平和焦虑水平分别显着升高和降低。因此,按摩疗法作为一种低成本、非药物治疗,可用于改善新生儿的身体和运动发育以及母亲的心理状态。
