| Background: Infants’ exposure to stressors in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and its outcomes is a new issue since previous
studies have only focused on painful stimuli. Taking into account frequency and severity of the stressors on each infant, short and
long-term outcome of these stressors can be improved.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the cumulative stressors in premature infants hospitalized in a NICU.
Methods: In this descriptive study, 197 hospitalized preterm infants between 28 to 30 weeks of gestation were studied in terms of
cumulative stressors during 10 days at the NICU of Tabriz Alzahra hospital. Consecutive sampling method was used. Demographic
questionnaire and neonatal infant stressor scale were used. Descriptive statistics, repeated measures analysis and Pearson’s correlation
coefficient tests were used to analyze the data.
Results: The total mean of stress scores during 10 days was 99.4417.37. “Multiple attempts to insert intravenous and intra-arterial
catheters and “intubation” were the most frequent procedures in the “extremely stressful” category among four categories of stressors.
The highest scores of acute and chronic stress were related to the tenth and third day of hospitalization, respectively. There was
no significant difference between infants’ characteristics and total mean stress scores. Repeated measures analysis showed that the
mean acute stress scores were significantly different among the 10 subsequent days (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrated the frequent occurrence of various procedures in preterm infants hospitalized
at the NICU. Although these procedures were done with the purpose of improving infants’ health, they can lead to problems and
complications, which might postpone the infants’ recovery process. |
