Abstract :
Background Information: New-borns are the most
vulnerable group to adapt to new environment. The first
few months after birth are a transition period in which
the child adapts from a water to air environment. As a
result, it is very important how the child is at this time
and his level of happiness depends on their posture.
Encouraging good posture and opportunities
to bend can help prevent problems such as motor
coordination, balance and posture difficulties. Proper
posture helps your baby develop good posture.
Method: In this study, a quasi-experimental control
group with pre-test and post-test was used, and non-
probability convenience sampling method was adopted
to select 60 premature infants as the experimental group
and control group. A pilot study was conducted
and the equipment and study design were found to be
feasible. Data were collected using the IPAT tool. The
experimental group received a nesting intervention. Data
were collected and analysed using descriptive and
inferential statistics. Results: As a result of the study, the
significance of the difference in average scores before
and after the posture test, statistically verified using
paired 't' test was found to be very significant at the
significance level of 0.05. The average nested score after
the test in the experimental group was 13.17 and
standard deviation was 1.552 and the control group had
an average score of 8.30 and standard deviationof 1.92.
The paired t test statistic is 14.57. Therefore, there is
statistical significance in the rate of improvement
indicating the effectiveness of nesting position among the
selected new-born babies. The results showed that
posture scores had no significant relationship with the
selected demographic variables.Conclusion: This study concluded that nesting is an
effective method for maintaining normal posture in new-
borns.
