About this study

This study aims to evaluate the acute effects of neonatal hydrokinesiotherapy in reducing stress in newborn preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Salivary cortisol samples were collected, pain applying the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale Scale (NIPS), heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation before and after hydrotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Newborns have the neurological maturity to perceive pain, including preterm. In the environment of the neonatal intensive care unit newborns are subject to environmental stress and numerous painful interventions. Based on the physiological properties of water, it is known that the hydrotherapy promotes comfort, reduces stress, and as a resource for treatment of various diseases. This study aims to evaluate the acute effects of neonatal hydrokinesiotherapy in reducing stress in newborn preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HydrokinesiotherapyProcedure or surgery

    physical therapy technique used in a plastic bucket approved by ANVISA , with water temperature monitored at 37 ° C, water level up to the shoulders and by the physical properties of water, was allowed to mobilize the newborn facilitating the feeling of relaxation and standard suitable movement.
