Abstract

More than half a century, studies reported about strong association between preterm birth and development disorders. According to necessity of attention to development of preterm infants, the aim of this study was investigating the effect of tactile kinetic stimulations by mother on physical growth of preterm infants such as: weight, height, head circumference, chest, abdominal, arm and hip circumferences. For this purpose, among all infants of Amiralmomenin hospital neonatal unit of Semnan city during one to two months, 40 infants and mother’s selected purposefully and divided to experimental and control groups. Then, mothers of experimental group conducted tactile kinetic stimulations on infants to Completion of fetal period (40 weeks gestation) for 20 minutes and three times a day whereas, control group received only usual care. Measures of weight, height, head circumference, chest, abdominal, arm and hip circumferences of preterm infants were taken before intervention and at the end of 40 weeks gestation from both groups. The results of Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) showed that weight gain and circumference of arm and hip in experimental group infant’s increased significantly (p≤0.0071).Although, revealed increase in measures of height, head, chest and abdominal circumference in experimental group infant’s but this increase wasn’t significant. Considering on our results we can say that tactile kinetic stimulation can be an effective and non-drug way to increase physical growth of preterm infants.
