Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that at the end of the study the methods will be efficient in reducing stress, which will be analyzed through the pain assessment scale (NIPS) and the monitoring of cardiorespiratory parameters (heart rate, blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation) that will be monitored through the visualization of the vital signs monitor.;Evaluate the improvement of sleep quality through actigraphy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Better results in the neurodevelopment of premature newborns are expected. The evaluation will be carried out through the evaluation of generalized movements (Prechltz Method). | — |
