Clinical application analysis of neonatal swimming combined with stroking
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of swimming combined with touch intervention on neonatal body weight, length, psychological development, immune response and skin health, and to provide scientific basis for clinical work. Methods: In this study, 200 newborns were randomly divided into experimental group (swimming combined with touch intervention group) and control group (routine care group) using a prospective randomized controlled experiment design. The experimental group swam and touched 2-3 times a week for 4 weeks; The control group received only routine care. Before and after the intervention, weight, length, psychological development, immune response and skin health were evaluated, and SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis. Result: In the experimental group, newborn body weight increased by 1.53 kg (P < 0.001), body length increased by 2.6 cm (P < 0.05), psychological development score increased by 7.8 points (P < 0.001), immune response increased (antibody titer increased by 18.7, P < 0.001), skin damage rate decreased (P = 0.003). There were also significant changes in the control group. Conclusion: Swimming combined with touch intervention can significantly promote the growth and immune function of newborns, improve their skin health, contribute to psychological development, and have high clinical application value.
