Abstract:Objective To study the application effect of clinical nursing pathway (CNP) in oral massage of newborn to provide guidance for clinical nursing work. Methods A total of 80 neonates who were hospitalized in Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital from September 2019 to September 2021 were selected and randomly divided into observation group (treated with CNP, n=40) and control group (with routine care, n=40). After 15 days of nursing, feeding status, body weight gain and feeding intolerance were observed and compared between two groups. Results Neonatal hospitalization time, starting oral feeding time, time of tube feeding, complete oral feeding time and the transition time from tube feeding to oral feeding in observation group were significantly shorter than those in control group (P<0.05). After nursing, the weight of newborns at full feeding and at discharge in observation group were significantly heavier than those in control group (P<0.05). The incidence of feeding intolerance in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (12.50% vs 37.50%, P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical nursing pathway in neonatal oral massage has a significant effect and is worthy of clinical application.
