Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome Body weight gain, assessed by C & F scale brand, model 15, 5 g division. It was considered the average weight gain between the 1st and 7th day of stimulation. It was compared with the control group.;Observed outcome At baseline,the two groups showed no significant weight difference. At the end of the study, the average body weight of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control (x 156,2g 110,5g; p = 0.002), with no significant difference in energy consumption (207.4 x 218.8 kcal; p=0,46). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome Verification of cardiac frequency and respiratory rate before and after stimulation and calculated the difference between the two moments.;Observed outcome The experimental group, compared to the control, showed significantly decreased heart rate difference, in the amount of 16.93 x 1.37; p = 0.000; and respiratory frequency (9.06 x 0.86; p= 0.000) after treatment.;Expected outcome It was recorded the relationship presence/ absence of stress signals in response to handling: : grimacing, yawning, sobbing and crying ;Observed outcome During the treatment, the experimental group showed lower relationship presence/absence of signs of stress (0.07) compared to the control (0.28), p = 0.007. | — |
