abstract

Preterm babies are considered to be the most vulnerable group for getting adjusted to the extra uterine environment. In the initial period of birth, transition phase exists during which the baby adjusts from the aquatic life to the external environment. As a result, the way in which the preterm baby is positioned during this period is very important and posture dictates the level of the child's wellbeing. Promoting good positioning, physiological parameter and encouraging opportunities for flexion can prevent the problems like motor coordination, balance and posture difficulties. The correct positioning will help the baby to develop good posture and improve muscles control. “A pre-experimental study to assess the effectiveness of nesting on physiological parameters and posture of preterm babies in selected hospital Bilaspur (C.G.). “study was undertaken as a partial fulfillment of requirement for the degree of master of science in Child Health Nursing.
