Abstract

Background: One of the most important challenges that preterm infants face is nutritional problems. Poor postnatal weight gain can lead to various complications.

Purpose: To determine the effects of listening to the Holy Quran on the feeding status, postnatal weight gain, and length of hospital stay of preterm infants.

Methods: The current randomized clinical trial was conducted in the city of Qazvin in 2024. The samples included 80 preterm infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit, who were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups (40 in the Holy Quran recitation group and 40 in the control group). In addition to the routine care, the participants in the intervention group listened to the Holy Quran via headphones for 20 minutes 3 times a day, whereas the participants in the control group did not receive any intervention.

Results: The mean days to achieve the first oral feeding ( P < .001), the mean days to achieve full oral feeding ( P < .001), the mean weight gain at the time of achieving the first oral feeding ( P < .046), and the mean length of hospital stay ( P < .001) were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group.

Implications for practice and research: In addition to standard treatments, listening to the Holy Quran, as a complementary method, can improve some parameters related to feeding and the quicker discharge of preterm infants.

一项随机临床试验:以诵读《古兰经》为基础的音乐疗法干预可改善新生儿重症监护病房早产儿的喂养状况、体重增加和住院时间。
背景:早产儿面临的最重要的挑战之一是营养问题。产后体重增加不足会导致各种并发症。目的:探讨听《古兰经》对早产儿喂养状况、产后体重增加及住院时间的影响。方法:目前的随机临床试验于2024年在加兹温市进行。样本包括80例在新生儿重症监护病房住院的早产儿,随机分为干预组和对照组(诵读《古兰经》组40例,对照组40例)。在常规护理的基础上,干预组每天3次,每次20分钟,通过耳机收听《古兰经》,而对照组不进行任何干预。结果:实现首次口服喂养的平均天数(P)对实践和研究的启示:在规范治疗的基础上,听古兰经作为一种辅助方法,可以改善喂养相关的一些参数,使早产儿更快出院。
