Abstract

Purpose : We aimed to examine the effect of rooming-in care on newborn infants emotional stability by comparing them with those cared for in a nursery. Methods : Forty-eight full-term newborn infants born at Cheil General Hospital between July 1 and October 31, 2007, were enrolled. Twenty-four newborn infants were roomed-in in their mothers rooms (rooming-in group), and 24 newborns were cared for in the hospital nursery (the nursery group) for the first 3 days of their lives. Those with perinatal problems that required medical treatment were excluded. By using Brazeltons neonatal behavior assessment scale, we measured irritability and self-quieting as well as the duration of crying after heel-stick puncture for the newborn metabolic screening test. Results : The rooming-in group had a higher irritability score than the nursery group ($6.8{\pm}1.7$ vs. $4.2{\pm}2.1$, P<0.001), thereby suggesting stable behavior against external irritation; the former also had a higher self-quieting activity score ($5.9{\pm}0.3$ vs. $4.5{\pm}1.8$, P=0.001), thereby suggesting that stability was reached quickly from the irritated state. Time taken to stop crying after the heel-stick puncture was significantly shorter in the rooming-in group than in the nursery group ($17{\pm}15.1$ seconds vs. $115.3{\pm}98.5$ seconds, P<0.001). Conclusion : These results show that newborn infants in the rooming-in group exhibit more stable behavior against external irritation and can be stabilized from an irritated state more quickly than infants cared for in the nursery, even after a few days of rooming-in care.

목적: 신생아실에서 산모와 격리되어 관리되는 신생아와 비교해 봄으로써 모자동실이 신생아의 정서적 안정에 미치는 효과를 비교해 보고자 한다. 방법: 2007년 7월 1일부터 10월 31일 사이에 출생한 정상 신생아 중 첫 3일간 모자동실을시행한 신생아 24명(모자동실군), 신생아실에서 관리한 24명(신생아실군), 총 48명에 대하여 브라젤튼의 신생아행동평가척도 중 자극척도와 자기 안정화 척도를 관찰하였으며, 대사이상검사를 위해 천자침으로 발뒤꿈치를 찌른 후 울음을 그칠 때까지의 시간을 측정하였다. 결 과: 모자동실군은 자극화척도에서 신생아실군에 비해 높은 점수를 나타내어 외부자극에대해 매우 안정되어 있었으며($6.8{\pm}1.7$$4.2{\pm}2.1$, P<0.001), 자기 안정화 척도도 높은 점수를 나타내어 자극된 상태에서 빨리 안정화하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다($5.9{\pm}0.3$$4.5{\pm}1.8$, P=0.001). 천자침을 찌른 후 울음을 그칠 때까지의 시간도 모자동실군에서 훨씬 짧은 것을 알 수 있었다($17{\pm}15.1$ 초 대 $115.3{\pm}98.5$초, P<0.001). 결론: 모자동실을 하는 신생아는 신생아실에서 격리되어 관리하는 신생아에 비해 생후 수일동안의 기간에도 불구하고 외부 자극에 대해 안정적이며, 자극된 상태로부터 빨리 안정화되는 것으로 나타나 정서적으로 안정되어 있음을 알 수 있었다.
