Essay

The dissertation is devoted to the issue of optimizing the provision of medical care to preterm infants by creating an integrated neuro-developmental care model to improve early (stabilization of vital functions, prevention of the infectious and somatic pathology associated with premature birth) and long-term outcomes (survival, morbidity, disability, physical, motor, communication and cognitive development, duration of breast-feeding) of these newborns. The new pathogenetic-based mechanisms of modern approaches to the preterm infants care using the neonatal integrated model of neuro-developmental care with the skin-to-skin contact as its main component was obtaintd. This model of care has been proven to improve the early and long-term outcomes of preterm infants. For the first time, a comparative analysis of the characteristics of preterm newborns’ care in a regional perinatal center and European neonatology clinics (Poland, France) was carried out, the advantages and effectiveness of complex neuro-developmental care and its elements for these category of infants were shown. The effectiveness of early, regular and prolonged SSC in reducing the risk of late-onset sepsis, BPD, digestive system disorders, and supporting breastfeeding in extremely and very preterm infants has been proven. The clinical and paraclinical determinants of pain and stress in preterm infants, their relationship with gestational age and child’s health status severity were studied. It was shown that this cohort of newborns experienced stress and was exposed to the pain syndrome in the intensive care unit, which was confirmed by high EDIN scale scores and hormonal imbalance. The influence of the fundamental component of the neuro-developmental care – skin-to-skin contact – on the stress and pain indicators in preterm infants has been confirmed. This intervention has been found to reliably reduce stress by decreasing the cortisol levels while simultaneously increasing oxytocin and melatonin levels, as well as reducing neonatal pain by decreasing dopamine levels and increasing β-endorphin and serotonin levels. For the first time in Ukraine, the peculiarities of parental stress of preterm children treated in the intensive care unit were investigated; the factors contributing to its increase were identified. The effectiveness of parental stress management with the skin-to-skin contact has been proven.
