Abstract

Background: The aim was to determine the benefits of the head-jaw position given to the premature during feeding with the injector.
Methods: In this experimental study, the effect of head-chin position on the prematures on the length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, the transition time to the mother's breast, the feeding time, and the amount in premature babies was tested.
Results: When we evaluated the day and evening feeding times and amount of the premature, it was determined that the day and evening feeding times and amount of the premature in the experimental group were statistically significantly higher than the daytime feeding times of the premature in the control group. It was determined that the duration of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit of the premature in the experimental group was statistically significantly less than the length of stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the premature in the control group.
Conclusion: As a result, the head-jaw position had been seen as a useful practice that positively affects the feeding time and amount, the length of stay in the newborn and the transition period to the mother's breast of the premature babies born as immature.
