Preterm Yenidoğanlarda Oral Beslenmeye Geçiş Yöntemleri: Sistematik Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Aim: This review was carried out to examine the effects of the methods used in the transition to oral feeding in preterm newborns, the results of the randomized controlled and quasi-experimental nursing studies.Methods: This study is a systematic review. 4 databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Cochrane "preterm infants, feeding methods, transition to oral feeding and randomized controlled trial" searched by matching keywords. All relevant English studies published in the literature between 1999-2022 were evaluated. The PRISMA checklist was used.Results: A total of 2252 records were reached as a result of scanning the databases. 14 randomized studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the study and their results were evaluated. It was determined that oral stimulation interventions were frequently applied in the transition of preterm infants to oral feeding.Conclusion: According to the included studies, oral motor stimulation and combined interventions applied to preterm newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit can accelerate the transition to oral feeding and shorten the length of hospital stay compared to standard care.
