Summary

This crossover design experimental study aims to compare the physiological stability of premature newborns during and after a cluster of care compared to a period when they receive standard non clustered care at the neonatal unit.

Detailed description

The cluster care will take place at the time of feeding of the premature infants. The intervention will start with a calm period of 20 minutes before the start of care (no manipulations will be allowed), the baby will then received the cluster care for 20 minutes and a quiet period of 30 minutes will follow after the cluster care.

Conditions

• Premature Baby 26 to 32 Weeks

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Clustering care	During 20 minutes, preterm infants will receive a cluster care with 2 minutes of hand containment.
