Brief Summary:
The need for infant massage may come to the forefront as a part of routine care in the neonatal intensive care unit to reduce high bilirubin levels in newborns and to reduce the need for phototherapy treatment This study was planned to investigate the effects of oily and dry neonatal massage on hyperbilirubinemia and comfort
Detailed Description:
Hyperbilirubinemia is a common disease affecting newborns It is a self-limiting condition but if not properly monitored and managed it can cause permanent neurological disorders Hyperbilirubinemia affects approximately 8-11 of newborns and accounts for 75 of hospitalizations in the first weeks of life Physiological jaundice occurs in newborns within the first 24-72 hours after birth it is at its highest level on days 3-4 begins to decrease on days 5-7 and disappears completely on days 10-14 and in premature babies it occurs after 48 hours and can take up to 4 weeks to completely resolve Jaundice that occurs within the first 24 hours is pathological jaundice High bilirubin levels can cause kernicterus which can lead to serious neurological damage if not diagnosed and treated early This condition has a 75 probability of death in infants and can cause neurological sequelae in 80 of survivors Different treatment methods are used to reduce bilirubin levels Frequently used methods are exchange transfusion phototherapy and drug therapy Phototherapy is one of the most frequently used methods in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia Phototherapy has many complications such as damage to the retina and reproductive organs dehydration in the body skin rashes watery stools and bronze baby syndrome Recently research has been conducted on different treatment approaches and new applications to manage neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and shorten the hospitalization period It has been stated that massage and bath applications reduce bilirubin levels in newborns Massage is the systematic manual stimulation of the soft tissues of the body with movements such as friction pressing rolling and touching for therapeutic purposes Massage which is one of the oldest healing applications and can be easily applied together with traditional treatments is the most natural and instinctive toolsMassage in newborns is accepted as a new care method with positive effectsNeonatal massage is not a mechanical routine but a simple cheap and effective technique to support newborn development and to ensure that parents establish eye contact with their babies Massage is a new easy to apply and alternative method that can be used to reduce bilirubin levels in newborns Baby massage can help to remove bilirubin from the body by increasing lymph and blood circulation Massage stimulates bowel movements and causes early defecation Increased intestinal peristalsis reduces the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin and accelerates its excretion from the body Studies have shown that massage significantly increases the frequency of defecation in babies Baby massage can significantly increase the number of stools by significantly increasing the intestinal stimulation of babies with vagal activity and thus help to remove bilirubin from the body In the findings of many studies it has been reported that baby massage is a method that helps to remove bilirubin from the body
