Effects of massage on newborn infants with jaundice: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This meta-analysis aims to systematically evaluate the effects of massage on infants with jaundice.

Methods

Multiple electronic databases, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine (CBM), Wan Fang Data, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), were used to search for studies on the effects of massage on infants with jaundice. Data were analysed by Rev Man 5.3.

Results

A total of 14 randomised controlled trials with 1889 patients were included. Statistically significant difference in percutaneous bilirubin [MD = -1.21, 95% CI (-1.90, -0.52), P?MD?=?-2.00, 95% CI (-2.68, -1.32), P?MD?=?-2.00, 95% CI (2.56, -1.44), P?MD?=?-1.93, 95% CI (-2.44, -1.43), P?MD?=?-52.06, 95% CI (-57.76, -46.36), P?MD?=?-10.65, 95% CI (-14.66, -6.63), P?SMD?=?0.44, 95%CI (0.02, 0.87), P?ConclusionMassage can decrease serum total bilirubin and percutaneous bilirubin levels and increasing defecation frequency. However, due to heterogeneity among studies, numerous multi-centre, large-sample and high-quality randomised controlled trials are needed to verify the effects of massage.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In many resource-limited settings, the availability of effective phototherapy for jaundiced infants is frequently hampered by lack of, or inadequate resources to acquire and maintain conventional electric-powered phototherapy devices. This study set out to ascertain maternal experience and satisfaction with a novel treatment of infants with significant hyperbilirubinemia using filtered sunlight phototherapy (FSPT) in a tropical setting with irregular access to effective conventional phototherapy. METHODS: A cross-sectional satisfaction survey was conducted among mothers of jaundiced infants treated with FSPT in an inner-city maternity hospital in Lagos, Nigeria from November 2013 to March 2014. Mothers' experience during treatment was elicited with a pretested questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended items. Satisfaction was rated on a five-point Likert scale. Correlates of overall maternal satisfaction were explored with descriptive and inferential non-parametric statistics. RESULTS: A total of 191 mothers were surveyed, 77 (40%) of whom had no prior knowledge of neonatal jaundice. Maternal satisfaction was highest for quality of nursing care received (mean: 4.72?±?0.55, median: 5[IQR: 5-5]) and lowest for physical state of the test environment (mean: 3.85?±?0.74, median: 4[IQR: 3-4]). The overall rating (mean: 4.17?±?0.58, median: 4[IQR: 4-5]) and the observed effect of FSPT on the babies (mean: 4.34?±?0.58, 4[IQR: 4-5]) were quite satisfactory. FSPT experience was significantly correlated with the adequacy of information received (p?<?0.0005), test environment (p?=?0.002) and the observed effect of FSPT on the child (p?<?0.0005). Almost all mothers (98.4%) indicated willingness to use FSPT in future or recommend it to others, although some (30 or 15.7%) disliked the idea of exposing newborns to sunlight. CONCLUSIONS: Mothers of jaundiced newborns in this population are likely to be satisfied with FSPT where it is inevitable as an alternative to conventional electric-powered phototherapy. Adequate information, good test environment and friendly nursing care must be ensured for satisfactory maternal experience.
