متن کاملEffects of the neonatal intensive care unit environment on preterm infant oral feeding.
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of neonatal intensive care unit environmental characteristics (perceived levels of light and sound, and time of day) in open unit wards and single-family rooms (SFRs) on oral feeding outcomes in preterm infants. DESIGN Data were collected at each scheduled oral feeding for 87 preterm infants from the first oral feeding until discharge. Data included the prescri...
