Investigation of Factors Affecting Neuromotor Behavior in Premature Neonates

Abstract

Purpose: Abnormalitiesdetected by neurological examinations and developmental tests performed inpremature infants can be severe or transient, which may be severe enough toaffect survival of baby. The aim of this study was to investigate variousfactors affecting neuromotor behavior in premature neonates.Materials and Methods: 13neonates (M=6, F:7) who were treatingfor prematurity diagnosis included in the study. A pain assessment, comfortevaluation for pain and stress, and neuromotor skills assessment were performedto neonates.Results: Presence of maternalpsychological stress during one-year period before birth of baby and malegender caused retardation in terms of neuromotor behavior (p<0.05). Infantswhose respiration is depending on inhaler are the worst in neuromotor behavior (p<0.05).There was a positive correlation between neuromotor behavior skills ofpremature neonate and duration of pregnancy and birth weight, and negative correlationwith pain and comfort status (p<0.05). There was no correlation betweenApgar Score and neuromotor behavior (p<0.05).Conclusion: Presenceof maternal psychological stress, male gender, respiration dependent onrespiratory device, pain and worse comfort status adversely affect neuromotorskills. Conversely, breastfeeding, longer duration of pregnancy period, andhigher birth weight positevely affect neuromotor skills. There is norelationship between neuromotor skills and Apgar Score; neuromotor skills anddelivery method.
