| Abstract | Objective: This study examined the effects of bucket hydrotherapy on physiological parameters and weight gain in hospitalized premature newborns. Methods: Thirty stable premature newborns (221.13±2.74 days of gestation) participated, having at least 1.500 kg of body weight, with increasing gain in latest days. Hydrotherapy was administered in two sessions in alternated days, held with the newborn in a bucket with warm water, up to the height of clavicles, during 10 min. Assessments were conducted three times per session: pre-intervention (15 min before the hydrotherapy), post-intervention (immediately after hydrotherapy) and follow-up test (30 minutes after post-intervention). Comparative analyses were conducted considering the heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and body weight variables. Results: The newborns’ BW increased from 1983.00±55.70 to 2044.00±57.44 grams throughout the sessions (p<0.001). The HR in the follow-up test was lower than in the pre- and post-intervention measures in both sessions (p<0.05). The RR and SpO2 remained constant. Conclusions: Bucket hydrotherapy with warm water may have promoted better behavioral functioning in premature newborns. This may have resulted in lower HR. The therapy was safe, because the physiological parameters and body weight gain were not negatively affected. |
