Document Summary
The effects of music therapy on vital signs, feeding and sleep in premature infants: Making the music in tune with the child"s heart rate, and then adjusting the speed of the music depending on what the health goal of the child was. Music increases oxygen saturation/non-nutritive sucking/weight gain: recorded music, parent voices, sung lullabies. These previous studies were not controlled in a way that made them reliable, valid outcomes. It is understood that there is a positive impact, but this study aimed to bring some support for that in a valid, reliable manner through having more control over the interventions and being able to gain measurements. It is believed that recorded music risks over stimulation in nicus it can over stimulate a premature baby a premature baby hasn"t developed its senses in a way where it can manage the external world. And when you play recorded music, you can"t make adjustments in the moment.
