Study of Swaddling on Tactile Learning in Premature Infants

University Hospital, Grenoble40 enrolled

Overview

Explore the sensorially of the premature newborn that is fundamental to adapting the care environment to these hospitalized babies

Indeed, the challenge is to offer them an environment adapted to their sensory skills, so as not to alter their development. This is in line with the customized care development, better known as the Anglo-Saxon term of Neonatal Individualised Developmental Care and Assessment Program. The aim is thus to promote later the cognitive development of these children

Study Type

Enrollment

Conditions

Premature Newborn

Interventions

swaddlingBEHAVIORAL

The two experimenters together evaluate the child's state of awakening throughout the experiment. If the child is considered by both experimenters to be too restless or too sleepy, the experiment is immediately stopped and postponed

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

time required to habituate a first object (corresponding to a time when the object is held repeatedly) and time required to present a new object (corresponding to the property of discrimination)

Time frame: up to 3 months max

Secondary Outcomes

Compare cognitive development at 2 years in both groups

Global development quotient, derived from the Brunet-Lezine scale, (performed systematically as part of the normal follow-up of premature babies in the N\&D care network). the Brunet-Lezine scale : it is a global development quotient (QD) which is calculated and which corresponds to a standardized score (average of 100). Higher score corresponds to better child development

Time frame: between first evaluation and 2 years
