Abstract
|
|
|
|
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment may incompatible with immature central nervous system of premature infant and may fail to meet these infant´s developmental needs. Premature infants are said to be exposed to overwhelming stimulation of visual and auditory senses, while receive little stimulation of tactile and vestibular senses. Previous researches suggest that the NICU should provide developmentally supportive environment for premature infants. Nurses are ideally suited to take the role to optimize infant´s growth and development.
