• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Irregular lighting and lack of light in premature infants will affect their health, produce negative effects such as physiological and visual development, and also affect the mother's sleep and quality of life. This study is to verify the effect and delay effect of two-week premature infants' light intervention on their physiological indicators and visual development, mother's sleep quality and quality of life. It is planned to be in the Neonatal Moderate to Severe Ward of National Taiwan University Children's Hospital, and the subjects are premature babies born 32 weeks old. Divided into two groups of light intervention group and control group, longitudinal tracking intervention effect and six-week and three-month delay effect.

Detailed description

Background Dim, irregular lighting and lack of periodic light in the care environment for premature babies in Taiwan are currently common conditions. Irregular lighting and lack of light in premature infants will affect their health, produce negative effects such as physiological and visual development, and also affect the mother's sleep and quality of life. Purpose To verify the effect and delay effect of two-week premature infants' light intervention on their physiological indicators and visual development, mother's sleep quality and quality of life. Methods The preliminary plan of this study is to carry out empirical evidence and expert advice to confirm precise lighting and develop care intervention strategies for preterm infants based on evidence. It is planned to be in the Neonatal Moderate to Severe Ward of National Taiwan University Children's Hospital, and the subjects are premature babies born 32 weeks old. Divided into two groups of light intervention group and control group, longitudinal tracking intervention effect and six-week and three-month delay effect.
