Abstract

          This cross-over quasi-experimental research was designed to study the effect of a rubber nest mattress innovation and compare sleep quality and physiological changes in preterm infants while sleeping on a rubber nest mattress and a cloth nest mattress. Twenty-three preterm infants with 32-36 weeks of gestational age were selected using purposive sampling without replacement and randomly allocated to sleep on the nest. Sleep-wake behavior was recorded by video camera and the vital signs were recorded every 10 minutes. The videotape was then interpreted for the sleep duration. Inter-rater reliability of the assessment of the sleep-wake behavior between the expert and the researcher, and also between the researcher and the research assistant, were tested yielding a percentage of agreement of 95.0% and 98.33%, respectively. The mean sleep-wake duration and vital signs of preterm infants were compared when they were on the rubber nest mattress and the cloth nest mattress using a paired t-test.

          The results revealed that 1) the sleep quality of preterm infants while they were on the rubber nest mattress was higher than while they were on the cloth nest mattress. The mean score of total sleep duration and deep sleep duration of preterm infants were significantly longer (p < .05). The active sleep duration of preterm infants, while they were on each type of nest mattress, was not different (p > .05), and 2) the physiological change in preterm infants while they were on the rubber nest mattress and the cloth nest mattress was different, in which the mean score of respiratory rate and heart rate while they were on the rubber nest mattress were significantly lower than while they were on the cloth nest mattress (p < .05). The mean score of body temperature, while they were on each type of nest mattress, was not different (p > .05).

          Therefore, using a rubber nest mattress in caring for preterm infants admitted to a hospital is one of the methods that can improve sleep quality, total sleep duration, and deep sleep duration, which will help to promote the appropriate growth and development of preterm infants.
