Abstract
Newborns are the most vulnerable population in
the world over. Quantitative approach with true experimental design was adopted to
effectiveness of auditory, kinesthetic and tactile (akts) stimulation on
physiological, neurobehavioral parameters among preterm babies. Randomization
had been done in selected study samples of 150 preterm babies.The required 75
experimental group study samples and 75 control group study samples had been
selected. Pre test was done to preterm neonates in both the control and
experimental groups soon after the selection by using questionnaire to obtain
Demographic variables, observational tool to assess the physiological
parameters and Morgan’s neonatal neurobehavioral Examination Scale on first day
of life. Experimental group received interventional package of Auditory
Stimulation, Kinesthetic Stimulation and Tactile Stimulation. This interventions
were administered for the duration of 30 minutes 3 times a day daily for 10
days. Posttest was done by using same questionnaire on 10th day. The control
group received the Routine Hospital Care.Statistical value showed that
significant difference between the pre and post test score of physiological and
neurobehavioural parameters.
