Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of early intervention on neonatal jaundice and body weight, thereby preventing the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia in newborns. Methods 320 healthy newborns were randomly divided into the two groups of the intervention group and the control group, with 160 cases in each group. All neonates of the intervention group were given the early intervention, including early breast-feeding, formula milk before the adequate breast-feeding, swimming and massaging. There was no nursing intervention for the control group, only the general nursing. The first defecation time, the first yellow defecation time, body weight in everyday, bilirubin value per cutem were measured and recorded. Results The bilirnbin value of the intervention group was much lower than that of the control group. The difference had statistical meaning (P < 0. 01). The body weight of newborns in the intervention group was much higher than that of the control group 5 days after born. There was statistical difference between the two groups (P < 0. 01). Conclusions Early nursing intervention can mitigate the bilirubin value effectively, reduce the incidence rate of hyperbilirnbinemia in newborns, reduce the decrease of body weight in newborns, and raise the body weight on discharge.
