in MCN > Vol.40 No.6 (Nov-Dec) 2015 [01/24/2016] . - p. 344-358| Keywords: | Massage: Meta-analysis; Preterm infants; Systematic review: Tactile stimulation. | | Abstract: | Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of massage on the short- and long-term outcomes of preterm infants Methods: A search was conducted using the PRISMA framework. Validity of included studies was assessed using criteria defined by the Cochrane Collaboration that was carried out independently by two reviewers with a third reviewer to resolve differences Thirty-four studies met the inclusion criteria, Results 3 were quasi-experimental, 1 was a pilot study, and the remaining 30 were randomized controlled trials(RCTs). The outcomes that could be used in the meta-analysis and found in more than three studies noted that massage improved daily weight gain by 0.53 g(95% Cl 0.28-0.78), p 0.0001, and resulted in a significant improve- ment in mental scores by 7.89 points(95% Cl 0.96-14.82), p 0.03. There were no signifi- cant effects on length of hospital stay, caloric intake or weight at discharge. Other outcomes were not analyzed either because the units of measurement varied or because means and standard deviations were not provided by the authors. These included vagal activity and heart rate variability(5 studies), neurobehavioral states(7 studies), pain responses(2 studies), maternal outcomes(2 studies), breast feeding(2 studies), and physiologic parameters: bone formation(2 studies), immunologic markers(1 study), brain maturity(1 study), and temperature(1 study). The quality of the studies was variable with methods of randomization and blinding of as sessment unclear in 18 of the 34 studies. | | Link for e-copy: | ้http://www.lww.com | | Record link: | http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=25308 |
