Abstract
Objective: To determine the influence of an educational program on nurses' performance in relation
to developmental supportive care techniques such as nesting and swaddling for preterm infants.
Design: A quasi-experimental research design . Setting: Research was conducted at Ain Shams
University Hospitals' Pediatric Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). These included the Pediatric
Neonatal Intensive Care Units in pediatric children's hospitals and obstetric hospitals. Subject:
Research involved a selective sample of 40 nurses who worked in the aforementioned settings.
Tools: a structured questionnaire, observational checklists, the clinical assessment sheet for preterm
babies, and the semantic differential scale were used to analyze nurses' knowledge, behaviors, and
attitudes about nesting and swaddling techniques. Results: Less than two-thirds of the nurses
investigated had inadequate total knowledge about nesting and swaddling techniques before the
training program's implementation, while the vast majority of them had enough total knowledge
after implementation. Additionally, nurses' overall practices improved dramatically after the
instructional program's introduction. Additionally, nurses' opinions shifted from negative to
favorable opinions after the programs adoption. Conclusion: the educational program resulted in
considerable improvements in the examined nurses' knowledge and behaviors, as well as a shift in
their attitudes towards the nesting and swaddling techniques utilized in NICUs. Recommendation:
there is a favorable association between nurses' overall understanding and practice in terms of
nesting and swaddling techniques utilized in NICUs. Through orientation training and ongoing
education, nurses' knowledge, practices, and attitudes towards nesting and swaddling techniques
used in NICUs will be improved.
