چکیده
A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of “nesting” among low birth weight infants in NICU of selected government hospital of Delhi. An experimental study was conducted in which low birth weight infants (birth weight 1.00-2.5kg) were stratified into three groups based on their birth weight (1.0-1.5kg, 1.52.0kg, 2.0-2.5kg). The samples consisted of 60 low birth weight infants; 30 in experimental group and 30 in control group. Pre-test Post-test control group design was used in which nesting was provided in experimental group 9 hours per day for 5 days. Posture, comfort and physiological parameters were assessed before and during administration of nesting. A significant improvement in posture (t=12.64) was observed in experimental group during application of nesting. A significant reduction in the discomfort was observed in experimental group as compared to control group (t=10.65).Low birth weight infants exhibit comparatively stable physiological parameters during the period of nesting.
