Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The sample was given for convenience. We aimed to evaluate the effects of aquatic physical therapy on pain and sleep and wakefulness of preterm infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.;During the pilot study, we realized that the premature newborn should perform aquatic physical therapy one hour after being breastfed, so that the cry of hunger was not confused with the crying of pain in the evaluation of this variable.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
During the pilot study, we realized that the premature newborn should perform aquatic physical therapy one hour after being breastfed, so that the cry of hunger was not confused with the crying of pain in the evaluation of this variable.
