Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
More stability physiological parameter (temperature) of preterm neonates. Timepoint: neonates who applied the nesting technique will measure temperature grade pre-test and post-test for two hours for three days consecutively. Method of measurement: direct observational record by using a hospital electronic thermometer.;More stability physiological parameter (heart rate) of preterm neonates. Timepoint: neonates who applied the nesting technique will measure heart rate pre-test and post-test for two hours for three days consecutively. Method of measurement: direct observational record by manual counting thorough a pediatric stethoscope.;More stability physiological parameter (respiratory rate) of preterm neonates. Timepoint: neonates who applied the nesting technique will measure respiratory rate pre-test and post-test for two hours for three days consecutively. Method of measurement: direct observational record by manual counting of abdominal movement.;More stability physiological parameter (oxygen saturation) of preterm neonates. Timepoint: neonates who applied the nesting technique will monitor oxygen saturation pre-test and post-test for two hours for three days consecutively. Method of measurement: direct observational record by monitoring oxygen saturation through a hospital pulse oximeter.
