Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Objetivos: avaliar a influÃncia da via de parto sobre os resultados perinatais, em mulheres que tiveram parto prematuro (PP); avaliar caracterÃsticas demogrÃficas e obstÃtricas como determinantes da via de parto. Sujeitos e mÃtodos: estudo transversal, a partir dos prontuÃrios de mulheres que tiveram PP, acompanhadas no ServiÃo de Medicina Materno-Fetal da Maternidade-Escola Assis Chateaubriand â Universidade Federal do CearÃ. Foram analisadas 195 gestantes e os 195 recÃm-nascidos (RNs) oriundos dessas gestaÃÃes, Ãnicas, sem complicaÃÃes clÃnicas maternas, fetais e obstÃtricas, apresentando idade gestacional (IG) entre 22 e 36 semanas e seis dias e com peso fetal igual ou acima de 500 gramas. As caracterÃsticas demogrÃficas e obstÃtricas e os resultados perinatais foram avaliados na populaÃÃo geral e em cada grupo (partos vaginal e abdominal), sendo posteriormente comparados entre si. Para a avaliaÃÃo estatÃstica comparativa entre os dois grupos, utilizou-se o teste de Mann-Whitney. O cÃlculo da razÃo de risco ajustado foi realizado atravÃs do software SAS versÃo 9.1.3 e atravÃs de RegressÃo LogÃstica e Multivariada. Todos foram considerados estatisticamente significantes quando p<0.05. Resultados: a maioria das gestantes (81.5%) foi admitida em trabalho de parto prematuro (TPP) ativo espontÃneo e 43.1% apresentaram bolsa rota. Agentes tocolÃticos e corticosteroides foram usados, respectivamente, em 41.6% e 58.3% das mulheres em prÃdromo de TPP e a maioria dos partos (74.4%) ocorreu por via vaginal. No momento do parto, a IG mÃdia foi 32.6 semanas. Quando os dois grupos foram comparados, o prÃdromo de TPP, a bolsa rota e a administraÃÃo de tocolÃticos e corticoides aumentaram, significativamente, o risco de cesÃrea (RRs 6.10, 1.64, 1.95 e 1.82, respectivamente), enquanto o TPP ativo diminuiu, significativamente, esse risco (RR 0.16, IC 95% - 0.11 a 0.25). O peso mÃdio dos RNs foi 1873g, sendo classificados como adequados para IG em 76.7%. Necessitaram de internamento em UTI 62.1% dos casos, 21% usaram surfactante, 90.8% necessitaram de ventilaÃÃo mecÃnica, 4.6% apresentaram tocotraumatismos e o Ãndice de Ãbito neonatal foi de 8.7%. Quando se compararam os dois grupos, a cesÃrea aumentou, significativamente, a chance do Ãndice de Apgar ao 5Â minuto ser &#8805; 7 (RR 1.06, IC 95% - 1.01 a 1.13). ApÃs regressÃo logÃstica de COX, ajustada para fatores que poderiam influenciar nos resultados perinatais, nÃo foram observadas diferenÃas estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos. ConclusÃes: nÃo foram encontradas diferenÃas estatisticamente significativas nos resultados perinatais entre RNs de partos vaginal e abdominal de mulheres que tiveram parto prematuro. Quanto Ãs caracterÃsticas obstÃtricas, o prÃdromo de TPP, a bolsa rota e o uso de agentes tocolÃticos e corticoides aumentaram, significativamente, o risco de cesÃrea, enquanto o TPP ativo diminuiu, significativamente, esse risco. / Objectives: to evaluate the influence of route of delivery on perinatal outcomes, in women who had preterm delivery; to evaluate demographic and obstetric characteristics as determinants of mode of delivery. Subjects and methods: it is a cross-sectional study from the charts of women who had preterm delivery, followed in the Service of Maternal-Fetal Medicine of Maternidade-Escola Assis Chateaubriand â Universidade Federal do CearÃ. There were analyzed 195 pregnant women and 195 newborns coming from these singleton pregnancies, without clinical maternal, fetal and obstetric complications, presenting gestational age between 22 and 36 weeks and six days and fetal weight equal or above 500 grams. Demographic and obstetric characteristics and perinatal outcomes were evaluated in the general population and in each group (vaginal and abdominal delivery), being later compared with each other. For comparative statistical analysis among the two groups, it was utilized the Mann-Whitney test. The calculation of the reason of adjusted risk was accomplished through the software SAS version 9.1.3 and through Logistical and Multinomial Regression. All were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. Results: the majority of pregnant women (81.5%) was admitted in active spontaneous preterm labor and 43.1% had premature rupture of the membranes. Tocolytic agents and corticosteroids were used, respectively, in 41.6% and 58.3% of women in false preterm labor and most of deliveries (74.4%) happened by vaginal route. At the moment of delivery, the average gestational age was 32.6 weeks. When the two groups were compared, false preterm delivery, premature rupture of the membranes and the administration of tocolytic drugs and corticosteroids increased, significantly, the risk of cesarean section (RRs 6.10, 1.64, 1.95 e 1.82, respectively), while the active preterm delivery decreased, significantly, this risk (RR 0.16, 95% CI - 0.11 a 0.25). The mean weight of the newborns was 1873g and they were classified as appropriate for gestational age in 76.7%. They needed for admission to the intensive care unit in 62.1% of cases, 21% required surfactant, 90.8% needed mechanic ventilation, 4.6% presented neonatal injury and the index of neonatal death was 8.7%. When the two groups were compared, the cesarean section significantly increased the chance of the Apgar score at 5Â minute to be &#8805; 7 (RR 1.06, 95% CI - 1.01 a 1.13). After logistic regression of COX adjusted for factors that could influence perinatal outcomes, had not been observed statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusions: it had not been found statistically significant differences in perinatal outcomes among newborns of vaginal delivery and cesarean section in women who had preterm delivery. Regarding obstetric characteristics, false preterm delivery, premature rupture of the membranes and the use of tocolytic agents and corticosteroids increased, significantly, the risk of cesarean section while the active preterm delivery decreased, significantly, this risk.

INTRODUÇÃO: A Doença Metabólica Óssea é uma patologia caracterizada por alterações da mineralização esquelética decorrente do acréscimo deficiente do conteúdo mineral ósseo do recém-nascido pré-termo (RNPT). A densitometria óssea tem sido o método de escolha para avaliar o conteúdo mineral ósseo, particularmente no RNPT alimentado ou não com leite humano. OBJETIVOS: 1. Comparar os resultados do conteúdo e densidade minerais ósseos obtidos do corpo inteiro através da densitometria óssea em RNPT adequados para a idade gestacional (AIG) com os valores obtidos em recém-nascidos de termo (RNT), alimentados com leite humano exclusivo; 2. Comparar os parâmetros bioquímicos ósseos sanguíneos (cálcio, fósforo e fosfatase alcalina) entre os RNPT e RNTAIG; 3. Analisar a excreção urinária de cálcio e fósforo no RNPTAIG, alimentado com leite humano exclusivo. MÉTODOS: Estudo coorte prospectivo realizado na Unidade Neonatal da Divisão de Clínica Pediátrica do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Durante o período de julho de 2006 a setembro de 2008 foram estudados 28 RN sendo 14 RNPT com idade gestacional inferior a 34 semanas e 14 RNT, em 3 momentos: 40 semanas de idade pósconcepcional corrigida, 3 e 6 meses de idade pós-natal corrigida, alimentados com leite humano exclusivo da própria mãe ou procedente do banco de leite. Foi realizada a densitometria óssea através da técnica de dupla emissão de fonte de Raio-X (DXA) em um aparelho da marca Hologic, modelo Discovery A, no laboratório de metabolismo ósseo da Faculdade de Medicina da USP, sendo avaliados: conteúdo mineral ósseo (BMC), densidade mineral óssea (BMD) e massa magra. Foram também realizados: cálcio, fósforo e fosfatase alcalina séricos nas idades de 40 semanas pósconcepcionais (RNPT e RNT) e com 6 meses de idade pós-natal corrigida (RNPT). Além disso, analisou-se a concentração de cálcio e fósforo na urina de 6 horas dos RNPT entre a 3ª e a 4ª semanas de vida. RESULTADOS: O BMC do RNPT foi inferior ao obtido no RNT na mesma idade de 40 semanas pós-concepcionais (p<0,001), o mesmo ocorreu com o BMD (p<0,001) e com a massa magra (p=0,047). Destacamos que houve uma importante aceleração para que os pré-termos atingissem os valores normais encontrados nos recém-nascidos de termo aos 6 meses de idade corrigida, ie, BMC (137,1422,46 vs. 152,8620,92 g, p=0,054), BMD (0,220,02 vs. 0,230,02 g/cm2, p=0,618) e massa magra (5.750,13765,11 vs. 5.745,88726,52g, p=1,00) que foram comparáveis nos dois grupos. Os parâmetros bioquímicos séricos foram semelhantes entre os RNPT e os RNT. Entre os RNPT, três (21,4%) apresentaram exames urinários sugestivos de Síndrome da Deficiência de Fósforo sendo indicado o uso da solução oral de cálcio e fósforo. CONCLUSÕES: A avaliação da mineralização óssea através da DXA do corpo inteiro pode ser utilizada em RNPT constituindo exame de excelência, com precisão elevada e exposição baixa à radiação para detecção de alterações ósseas quando há risco de Doença Metabólica Óssea. Neste estudo, a alimentação com leite humano seja da própria mãe ou do banco de leite pode proporcionar um crescimento ósseo adequado, no RNPT, semelhante ao do RNT nos primeiros 6 meses de vida. Os parâmetros bioquímicos urinários (cálcio e fósforo) foram de utilidade para detecção precoce de hipofosfatúria e risco de deficiência mineral nos RNPT, entretanto requerem coleta de urina de 6 horas, tornando difícil a investigação após a alta hospitalar. Mesmo os RNPT, com exames urinários normais, apresentaram na densitometria óssea um BMC inferior aos valores encontrados nos RNT mostrando que a DXA se constitui em um método sensível e que poderá ser utilizada para o seguimento destes RNPT. / BACKGROUND: Metabolic Bone Disease is a pathology characterized by skeletal mineralization changes resulting from insufficient increase of the bone mineral content in preterm newborns (PTNB). Bone densitometry has been the method of choice to evaluate the bone mineral content, particularly in the PTNB that is or is not fed with human milk. OBJECTIVES: 1. To compare the bone mineral content and density results obtained from the whole body using bone densitometry in appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) PTNB with the values obtained from full-term newborns (FTNB), exclusively fed with human milk; 2. To compare blood bone biochemical parameters (calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase) obtained from PTNB and AGA FTNB; 3. To analyze calcium and phosphorus urinary excretion in AGA PTNB exclusively fed with human milk. METHODS: Prospective cohort study conducted at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) University Hospital Pediatric Clinic Neonatal Unit. From July 2006 to September 2008, 28 NB were studied, with 14 of them being PTNB of gestational age inferior to 34 weeks and 14 being FTNB, in 3 timepoints: 40 weeks of corrected post-conception age, and 3 and 6 months of corrected postnatal age, exclusively fed with human milk from their own mothers or from a human milk bank. Bone densitometry was performed by using the dual-energy X-ray absorption (DXA) technique in a Hologic device, Discovery A model, at USP Medical School bone metabolism laboratory, and the following were evaluated: bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and lean mass. Also, the following were performed: serum calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase at 40 weeks post-conception (PTNB and FTNB) and 6 months of corrected postnatal age (PTNB). In addition, calcium and phosphorus concentrations in PTNBs 6-hour urine were analyzed at 3 and 4 weeks of life. RESULTS: The BMC of preterm newborn was lower than in fullterm at the same 40 weeks postconceptional age (p<0.001), the same occurred with the BMD (p<0.001) and the lean mass (p=0.047). Interestingly, there was an important acceleration to achieve the normal values seen in fullterm at six months age, ie, BMC (137.14+-22.46 vs. 152.86+-20.92 g, p=0.054), BMD (0.22+-0.02 vs. 0.23+-0.02 g/cm2, p=0.618) and lean mass (5,750.13+-765.11 vs. 5,745.88726.52g, p=1.00) were comparable in both groups. PTNB and FTNBs serum biochemical parameters were similar. Among PTNBs, three (21.4%) had urinary exams suggesting Phosphorus Deficiency Syndrome, with the use of oral calcium and phosphorus solution being indicated. CONCLUSIONS: The bone mineralization evaluation using whole-body DXA may be used in PTNBs, being an optimal exam of high precision and low radiation exposure to detect bone changes when there is a risk for MBD. In this study, being fed with human milk, either from the own mothers or from a human milk bank is able to provide appropriate bone growth in PTNBs, similar to that seen in FTNBs in the first 6 months of life. Urinary biochemical parameters (calcium and phosphorus) were useful for the early detection of hypophosphaturia and mineral deficiency risk in PTNBs; however, the collection of 6-hour urine is required, as the investigation becomes difficult after hospital discharge. Even PTNBs with normal urinary exams showed, upon bone densitometry, a BMC inferior to the values found in FTNBs, which supports that DXA presents a sensitive method that can be used to follow up these PTNBs.

This was a qualitative study, which adopted the theoretical reference of Symbolic Interactionism and the methodological reference of Interpretive Interactionism. For data collection, an ecomap was constructed and a semistructured interview was conducted. Eight mothers who experienced the hospitalization of a child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and were in the period of up to one month post-hospital discharge participated in the study. Data analysis enabled the extraction of the social support network for these women, when two situations were identified: participation and nonparticipation of the father. Further, it is in REVIEWING THE DEPENDENCE OF THE PROFESSIONAL AND HIS COMPETENCE FOR CARE that the woman manages to evolve care together with her child in an autonomous manner. The unveiled categories were: believing and obedient relationship; insecure and questioning relationship; and, reflective and emancipatory relationship. The results show that the interaction between mothers and professionals is grounded in power and this factor affects the mother's trajectory while assuming the maternal role. Thus, it is essential to provide welcoming and support in a humane manner, considering the precepts of family-centered care. We hope that this study contributes to health professionals from Neonatal Intensive Care Units with regard to the review of care provided to mothers/family. / O presente estudo objetivou compreender as interações da mãe com os profissionais de saúde desde o nascimento da criança pré-termo até o primeiro mês, após a alta hospitalar (interferem/afetam) e sua influência no desenvolvimento do cuidado materno, bem como identificar pessoas da rede social destas mulheres significativamente importantes neste processo com atenção ao lugar dos profissionais de saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que adotou com Referencial Teórico o Interacionismo Simbólico e como Referencial Metodológico o Interacionismo Interpretativo. Para a coleta de dados foram realizadas a construção de ecomapa e entrevista semiestruturada. Participaram do estudo oito mães que vivenciaram a internação do (a) filho (a) em Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatal e que estavam no período até um mês após a alta. A análise de dados permitiu extrair a rede de apoio social dessas mulheres, quando se identificaram duas situações: participação e não participação do pai. E ainda, que é REVENDO A DEPENDÊNCIA DO PROFISSIONAL E DE SUA COMPETÊNCIA PARA O CUIDADO que a mulher consegue desenvolver um cuidado junto ao filho de maneira autônoma. As categorias que se desvelaram foram: Relacionamento crente e obediente; Relacionamento inseguro e questionador e Relacionamento reflexivo e emancipatório. Os resultados mostram que a interação entre mães e profissionais é pautada no poder e tal fator afeta a sua trajetória enquanto a assunção de papel materno. Assim, faz-se imprescindível o acolhimento de maneira humanizada, considerando os preceitos do cuidado centrado na família. Esperamos que este estudo contribua para com os profissionais de saúde de Unidade de Cuidado Intensivo Neonatal no que tange à revisão da assistência prestada a mães/família.

To reach the age of the term, was applied Scales Amiel-Barrier-Shnider changed and the Prechtl, traditionally used in the evaluation of term newborns, looking for possible changes to the term, while also evaluating the sensitivity of these scales. We studied 20 non-complicated preterm infants, both sexes aged 32-36 weeks, born in Janu?rio Cicco Maternity School, from August 2006 to August 2007. Was applied to the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies every two weeks until reach the term, and the range of Amiel-Barrier-Shnider changed and the Prechtl, after reaching 39 and 41 weeks. The evaluation result of articular angles was subjected to the test of Friedman ANOVA, significant differences between the three measurements of the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies only for angles heel-to-ear to term. Neonatal reflexes changed in the period of prematurity were the cardinal points reflexes, Moro reflexes, cross extensions reflex and the automatic walking reflexes. The posture was the parameter which remained unchanged in the three scales. Considering a significance level of 5% by applying Cochran Q Test, it was found that the scale of Saint-Anne Dargassies is more sensitive to detect suspects. With this methodology and the results it was possible to prepare a manuscript: The neurological examination of non-complicated preterm newborns using the Sanit-Anne Dargssies Scale from birth to term: normal or altered? In which we describe that despite the good clinical condition, the RNP show changes in tone and neonatal reflexes. These data are important because though non-complicated RNP need further attention its maturation process, enabling us to detect and intervene early. With these results we can build a scale simplified neurological assessment made with items found most altered during the application of three scales. The development of this project has a multidisciplinary approach, because it involved Paediatric Neurologist, Physiotherapist and Neonatologist, as recommended by PPGCSA / Esse estudo comparou a evolu??o da postura, reflexos neonatais e t?nus nos prematuros sem complica??es cl?nicas ou neurol?gicas antes e ap?s a idade de termo utilizando a escala de Saint-Anne Dargassies. Ao atingir a idade de termo, foi aplicado as Escalas de Amiel-Barrier-Shnider modificada e a de Prechtl, tradicionalmente utilizadas na avalia??o do RN de termo, a procura de poss?veis altera??es ao termo e ao mesmo tempo avaliando tamb?m a sensibilidade dessas escalas aplicadas. Foram estudados 20 prematuros n?o complicados, ambos os sexos com idade gestacional variando de 32 a 36 semanas, nascidos na Maternidade Escola Janu?rio Cicco, no per?odo de agosto de 2006 a agosto de 2007. Foi aplicada a escala de Saint-Anne Dargassies a cada 2 semanas at? atingir o termo, e a escala de Amiel-Barrier-Shnider modificada e a de Prechtl, ap?s atingirem 39 e 41 semanas. O resultado da avalia??o dos ?ngulos articulares foi submetido ao teste de Friedman ANOVA, observando-se diferen?as significativas entre as 3 medi??es da escala de Saint-Anne Dargassies, apenas para os ?ngulos calcanhar-orelha at? o termo. Os reflexos neonatais alterados no per?odo de prematuridade foram os dos pontos cardinais, reflexo de Moro, reflexo de alargamento cruzado e o de marcha autom?tica. A postura foi o par?metro que se manteve sem altera??es nas 3 escalas. Considerando um n?vel de signific?ncia de 5% ao aplicar o Cochran Q Test, constatou-se que a escala da Saint-Anne Dargassies ? mais sens?vel para detectar indiv?duos suspeitos. Com esta metodologia e com os resultados obtidos foi poss?vel elaborarmos um manuscrito: The neurological examination of non-complicated preterm newborns using the Sanit-Anne Dargssies Scale from birth to term: normal or altered? No qual descrevemos que, apesar da boa condi??o cl?nica, os RNP apresentam altera??es de t?nus e reflexos neonatais. Esses dados s?o importantes porque apesar de RNP n?o complicados necessitam de uma maior aten??o em todo seu processo maturacional, o que nos permitiria detectar e fazer uma interven??o precoce. Com os resultados obtidos conseguimos construir uma escala simplificada de avalia??o neurol?gica constitu?da com os itens mais alterados encontrados durante a aplica??o das 3 escalas. O desenvolvimento deste projeto tem um enfoque multidisciplinar, pois envolveu Neurologista Pediatra, Fisioterapeuta e Neonatologista, como preconizado pela PPGCSA

Abstract About 11% of infants are born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation) worldwide. Adults born preterm with very low birth weight show enhancement of cardiometabolic risk factors such as elevated blood pressure and impaired glucose regulation compared with their peers born at term. Not all the cardiometabolic risk factors related to preterm birth are known, or whether they apply to those born less preterm, although about 80% of premature infants are born late preterm. The association between preterm birth and cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescence and adulthood was investigated in three cohort studies: The Helsinki Study of Very Low Birth Weight Adults, the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986, and the ESTER study. Preterm birth over its whole range has a long-term impact on a child’s health in later life: adults born preterm with very low birth weight had lower resting energy expenditure, but higher resting energy expenditure per unit lean body mass than their peers born at term. Adolescent girls born before 34 weeks of gestation had higher blood pressure and boys have elevated levels of LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B. Adults born preterm were more likely to be obese and to have hypertension or metabolic syndrome than their peers born at term. In addition to conventional biomarkers of cardiometabolic disorders, they had alterations in other cardiometabolic biomarkers, such as uric acid and liver transaminases. Adolescents and adults born preterm are at greater risk of developing cardiometabolic disorders than their peers born at term. Most of the cardiometabolic risk factors related to preterm birth are modifiable. Favorable early life circumstances of premature infants, such as optimal nutrition and reduction of stress in neonatal intensive care units, might reduce the risk of later cardiometabolic disorders. In addition, children and adults born preterm might particularly benefit from primary prevention such as screening for additional risk factors and promotion of healthy lifestyles. / Tiivistelmä Noin joka yhdeksäs lapsi maailmassa syntyy ennenaikaisesti, ennen 37. raskausviikkoa. Keskosena syntyneillä aikuisilla on todettu enemmän joitakin sydän- ja verisuonisairauksien riskitekijöitä kuin heidän täysaikaisena syntyneillä ikätovereillaan. Näistä eniten on tutkittu etenkin kohonneen verenpaineen ja heikentyneen sokerin siedon esiintyvyyttä, mutta kaikkia myöhempien sairauksien riskitekijöitä ei tunneta. Suurin osa aiemmista keskostutkimuksista on tehty hyvin tai erittäin ennenaikaisesti syntyneillä, vaikka yli 80% keskosista syntyy lievästi ennenaikaisena. Ei ole juurikaan tutkimuksia siitä, ovatko sydän- ja verisuonitautien riskitekijät lisääntyneet myös tässä suuressa lievemmin ennenaikaisesti syntyneiden joukossa. Eriasteisen ennenaikaisen syntymän vaikutuksia nuoruus- ja aikuisiän sydän- ja verisuonitautien riskitekijöihin tutkittiin kolmessa kohorttitutkimuksessa: Helsingin Pikku-K -tutkimuksessa, Pohjois-Suomen syntymäkohortti 1986 -tutkimuksessa sekä ESTER-tutkimuksessa. Ennenaikaisella syntymällä sinänsä on pitkäaikaiset vaikutuksen syntyneen lapsen terveyteen myös nuoruudessa ja aikuisuudessa: Hyvin pienipainoisena ennenaikaisesti syntyneillä on korkeampi lepoenergian kulutus rasvatonta painoyksikköä kohden kuin täysiaikaisena syntyneillä ikätovereilla. Hyvin ennenaikaisena (ennen 34. raskausviikkoa) syntyneillä tytöillä on 16-vuotiaina korkeampi verenpaine, ja pojilla suuremmat LDL-kolesterolin ja apolipoproteiini B:n pitoisuudet. Keskosena syntyneet puolestaan täyttivät aikuisina todennäköisemmin lihavuuden, verenpainetaudin ja metabolisen oireyhtymän kriteerit. Perinteisten sydän- ja verisuonitautien riskitekijöiden lisäksi heillä oli muutoksia myös monissa muissa sydän- ja verisuonitautien merkkiaineissa, kuten uraatin ja maksa-arvojen pitoisuuksissa. Ennenaikaisesti syntyneillä nuorilla ja aikuisilla on suurentunut riski sairastua sydän- ja verisuonitauteihin myöhemmällä iällä. Näitä riskejä on mahdollista ennaltaehkäistä, minkä vuoksi ennenaikaisesti syntyneet nuoret ja aikuiset voivat hyötyä terveellisistä elämäntavoista erityisen paljon.

The purpose of the study was to identify factors associated with the delay in the initiation of breastfeeding to premature infants before discharge from hospital. The need for this research is evident in the current practice of feeding premature infants after a nasogastric tube is removed. The study sought to provide answers to delayed initiation of breastfeeding to premature infants before discharge from hospital. Fifty members of staff in the Sick Neonate Unit and 50 mothers of premature infants participated in the study. Self-administered data collection instruments were used to collect data from mothers of premature infants and staff of a Sick Neonate Unit in the hospital. The results showed that sociodemographic factors of staff 15 (f=30%) were 31-40 years old, and young nursing staff have decreased knowledge of breastfeeding as compared to senior and older staff members. Maternal demographic factors 36 (f=73.5%) were single and 13 (f=26.5) were married. Married mothers were more likely to breastfeed with the support of the partner than unmarried mothers. Health service factors staff views towards breastfeeding were 11(f=22.0% staff members were neutral about breastfeeding, and Eighteen (f=36.0%) staff members strongly disagreed to other methods of infant feeding. Maternal breastfeeding knowledge was one of the factors under maternal breastfeeding factors because it showed that 48 mothers (f=98.0%) did not have breastfeeding knowledge. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse data. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

15 miljoner barn föds för tidigt i hela världen, i Sverige handlar det om ungefär 6000 barn per år. Att få barn för tidigt påverkar föräldrar och väcker olika känslor hos dem. Föräldrarna behöver kunna hantera oro och ångest kring barnets hälsotillstånd för att kunna ta emot den nya medlemmen i familjen. Föräldrarna bör kunna vara med i barnets omvårdnad. Sjuksköterskor ska eftersträva att jobba familjecentrerat och ge möjlighetför föräldrar att utveckla sitt föräldraskap. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att belysa föräldrars upplevelser av att få ett tidigt fött barn som vårdas på en neonatalvårdsavdelning. Studien inkluderar nio artiklar med kvalitativ ansats. Dataanalysen utmynnade till fyra huvudteman med nio tillhörande subteman. Resultatet visar att föräldrar kan känna både chock, rädsla och ledsenhet men även hopp och glädje vid födseln av det prematura barnet. Dessutom visar resultatet att föräldrar uppleverolika hinder mot anknytning. Resultatet beskriver föräldrars behov av stöd från medförälder, omvårdnadspersonal, andra släktningar. Det framkom även att föräldrar som är troende hade lättare att förhålla sig till situationen. Även föräldrars tankar och känslor inför hemgång varierade beroende på information och handledning de fick från sjuksköterskor innan utskrivning. I diskussionen problematiseras huvudfynd frånresultaten som är relevanta för sjuksköterskans roll och hur god vård kan ges. Delaktighet, kommunikation och tydlig information är av stor betydelse för att kunna öka föräldrars välbefinnande. / 15 million infants in the whole world, about 6000 i Sweden, are born prematurely every year. Having an infant earlier than expected affects parents and awakens different feelings. For the parents to welcome the new member of the family, they must be able to handle their worries and fears about the infant’s health status. Parents must be able to be part of their child´s care. Nurses should strive to work having the whole family in focus and give the parents opportunity to develop their parenthood. The goal of this literature review is to illuminate parents´ lived experience of having a premature infant in the neonatal care unit. Nine articles with qualitative design are included in this literature review. The data analysis resulted into four main themes and nine subthemes. The result shows the parents´ lived experience of shock, fear, and sadness as well as hope and gladness with the birth of the premature child. Furthermore, the result shows the different hinder to parent-child connection. The result describes parents´ experience of support from different sources – co-parent, health care workers, other relatives, and friends. It also shows that parents who are religious found it easier to hold on during that time. Parents´ thoughts and feelings also varied depending on the information and guidance they got from the nurses. Main findings that are relevant for nurses´ roll and how good healthcare can be given are further described in the discussion. Parent involvement, communication and accurate information are important in promoting parents´ wellbeing.

Problématique. Basée sur les constats effectués lors d’un essai clinique randomisé qui visait à évaluer les effets du lait maternel de fin d’expression sur la croissance et le développement de nouveau-nés prématurés et qui s’est soldé par un recrutement infructueux, une intervention de soutien à la lactation chez les mères de nouveau-nés prématurés a été développée. La mère d’un nouveau-né prématuré est en effet trois fois plus à risque qu’une autre de présenter une production lactée insuffisante. Il est donc crucial de soutenir ces mères dans l’établissement et le maintien d’une production lactée adéquate. Le but de cette étude pilote est d’estimer les effets d’une intervention de soutien à la lactation sur l’expression de lait maternel et la production lactée de mères ayant donné naissance prématurément ainsi que d’évaluer les aspects d’acceptabilité et de faisabilité de l’intervention, de l’étude et de ses procédures. Hypothèse de recherche. Les mères de nouveau-nés prématurés qui reçoivent une intervention de soutien à la lactation expriment leur lait significativement plus longtemps et plus fréquemment et produisent significativement un plus grand volume de lait à plus grande concentration lipidique sur une base quotidienne que celles qui reçoivent les soins usuels. Méthode. Devis : Projet-pilote de type essai clinique randomisé. Échantillon: Quarante mères de nouveau-nés prématurés de <30 semaines de gestation admis à une unité de soins intensifs néonatals. Procédures: Les mères du groupe témoin reçoivent les soins usuels alors que celles du groupe expérimental reçoivent une intervention de soutien à la lactation. Cette dernière comporte quatre volets: une séance d’enseignement portant sur l’établissement et le maintien d’une production lactée suffisante, un suivi téléphonique, une ligne d’aide téléphonique et le prêt d’un tire-lait électrique double pompage. Dans les deux groupes, les mères sont amenées à tenir un journal de bord de leurs séances d’expression et du volume de lait maternel exprimé. Résultats. L’étude et ses procédures de même que l’intervention de soutien sont acceptables et faisables. Les résultats observés en lien avec l’hypothèse de recherche sont orientés dans la même direction que cette dernière à l’exception de la concentration lipidique du lait maternel. Recommandations. Une étude à plus grande échelle doit être réalisée afin d’évaluer les effets de l’intervention de soutien à la lactation sur la production lactée de mères de nouveau-nés prématurés. Quant à la clinique, des actions concertées doivent être menées afin de créer un contexte propice et des conditions favorables à l’expression de lait maternel chez les mères de nouveau-nés prématurés. / Problem statement. Based on observations from an unsuccessful randomized clinical trial that aimed to evaluate the effects of hindmilk on the short-term growth and development of preterm infants, a lactation support intervention for mothers of preterm infants has been developed. Mothers who give birth prematurely are three times more likely to have an insufficient milk output compared to those who give birth at term. It is therefore crucial to support these mothers in order to facilitate the establishment and maintenance of their milk supply. The aim of this pilot study is to estimate the effects of a lactation support intervention on the expression of breast milk and milk output of mothers who gave birth prematurely and assess the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention, study and its procedures. Research hypothesis. A lactation support intervention in mothers who deliver prematurely enables them to express their milk significantly longer and more frequently, and produce a greater milk output with a higher lipid concentration compared to mothers who deliver prematurely and receive usual care. Method. Design: A pilot study of a randomized clinical trial. Sample: Forty mothers of preterm infants born at <30 weeks of gestation and admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Procedures: The mothers in the control group receive usual care while those in the experimental group receive a lactation support intervention. The intervention has four components: an education session on the establishment and maintenance of an adequate milk supply, a telephone follow-up, a telephone helpline and the loan of a double electric breast pump. In both the intervention and control groups, mothers kept a logbook of the frequency, duration and volume of their breast milk expressions. Results. Both the study design and the intervention are feasible and acceptable to mothers of preterm infants. With the exception of milk lipid concentration, the results are oriented in the same direction as the research hypothesis. Recommendations. A larger scale study should be conducted to evaluate the effects of the lactation support intervention on the frequency, duration, and volume of breast milk expression among mothers of premature infants. As for the clinical practice, concerted interprofessional actions must be undertaken to create the environment and conditions conducive to breast milk expression in these mothers.

The presented thesis deals with the topic of development of communication abilities in preterm infants from the perspective of special education. The thesis is for clarity divided into several parts. In the first part of the text the issue of incidence of premature births in the Czech Republic is discussed, following subsections are devoted to the definition and distribution of characteristics bonding with immaturity of child and approach selected health problems associated with postpartum adaptation and subsequent psychomotor development of child. The following chapter which analyzes the system of care for premature newborns in the Czech Republic focuses on two forms of care, acute care and followed-up. Next part has been devoted to issue of premature infants from logopedical perspective and describes the physiological process of development of communication abilities of child and based on current knowledge, especially foreign research, analyzes the peculiarities of speech development of preterm infants. The last and key part of the work, based on case studies, analyzes the specifics of development of communication abilities of four originally extremely and very preterm children of multiple pregnancies in the background of the their overall psychomotor development.
