Abstract :
It has been demonstrated that non-nutritive
sucking greatly shortens the period between gavage
feeding and full oral feeding. Additionally, it might
shorten hospital stays. Non-nutritive sucking pre mature
infant which makes the baby who is fed through a tube
feel a bloating of the stomach. Due to which they do not
feel hungry and it calms them down. It also improves the
tone of their oral muscles. In this study pretest-posttest
experimental one-group research design is employed.
Thirty preterm newborns admitted to the NICU make
up the sample for this study. Non-probability purposive
sampling was the method employed in this investigation.
Mothers' average knowledge of nonnutritive sucking in
preterm children shows that the majority of preterm
infants 20(60.60%) were good 06(20%) knowledge and
some preterm infants have 05(16.66) category which are
not aware or poor average 04 (13.33%) pretest score in
the present study. The mean pre-test score for preterm
infants' awareness of non-nutritive sucking was 6+_1.94.
Post-test scores revealed preterm infants' knowledge of
nonnutritive sucking, and the majority of preterm
infants in the current study had good post-test
knowledge scores, with a 00 (00%) score. The average
outcome of the test was 9.7+_3.6, indicating great
understanding of non-nutritive sucking in preterm
newborns.
