fa تأثیر سکوت در بخش مراقبت ویژه نوزادان بر تعداد حرکات بدنی، اکسیژناسیون و تنفس نوزادان نارس General پژوهشي Research Article <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Background and Aim: </strong>Prematurity is the main reason for NICU hospitalization. Care of neonates in NICU must be qualified to decrease their stress. The present study aimed to determine and compare the mean of physiologic responses of preterm infants before and during a designed program to decrease stressful stimuli in the NICU.<br> <strong>Material and Methods: </strong>In this single-group quasi-experimental study, 31 preterm infants hospitalized in the NICU of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan, who had inclusion criteria, were selected by randomization method and enrolled after parents&rsquo; consent. The interventions included decreasing noise and light in the environment and neonatal handling for two consecutive days, each day for 2 hours. Their respiratory rate, SPO2, and frequency of body movements were measured before and during the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t test in SPSS (version 16).<br> <strong>Results: </strong>The mean percentage of SPO2 increased but the mean number of body movements decreased significantly compared with the time before the intervention and during the intervention (p<0.05). However, there was no significant change in respiratory rate (p=0.44).<br> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The findings showed that creating periods of low light and noise stimulation in the NICU can greatly help to improve SPO2 and decrease body movements in preterm infants.&nbsp;</span></span></div> Oxygenation,Respiratory Rate,Body Movement,Light,Noises,Handling Newborn 316 322 http://mcj.bums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-393&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Zahra Abdeyazdan زهرا عبدیزدان No Associated Professor, Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran دانشیار گروه آموزشی کودکان دانشکده پرستاری و مامایی و عضو مرکز تحقیقات مراقبت های پرستاری و مامایی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی اصفهان. اصفهان، ایران Parvin Taheri پروین طاهری Yes Parvin Taheri, Pediatrics Department, Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
