UT Health San Antonio, School of Nursing, San Antonio, Texas (Drs McGrath and McGlothen-Bell); Shaare Zedek Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel (Dr Bromiker); Virginia Tech University, Roanoke, Virginia (Dr Hanlon); University of Pennsylvania, School of Nursing, Philadelphia (Dr Medoff-Cooper); and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Dr Medoff-Cooper).

Background: Premature infants may experience increased difficulty with nutrition and growth. Successful oral feeding is an important factor associated with discharge readiness. Despite the importance of feeding as a growth-fostering process, little empiric evidence exists to guide recommendations for early interventions.

Department of Health Promotion, Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, Loyola UniversityChicago, Chicago, Illinois (Dr Griffith); Women, Children and Family Health Science, College of Nursing, The University of Illinois at Chicago (Drs Bell, Vincent, and White-Traut); Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee (Dr White-Traut); School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia (Dr Medoff-Cooper); and Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, The University of Illinois at Chicago (Dr Rankin).

Background: The term "oral feeding success" (OFS) is frequently used in clinical practice and research. However, OFS is inconsistently defined, which impacts the ability to adequately evaluate OFS, identify risk factors, and implement interventions in clinical practice and research.

Purpose: To develop the defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences for the concept of OFS in preterm infants during their initial hospitalization.

Multisensory intervention for preterm infants improves sucking organization.

Adv Neonatal Care

April 2015

Department of Family and Community Health, University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, and The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA (Dr Medoff-Cooper); Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health (Drs Rankin and Liu), and Children and Family Health Science, College of Nursing (Drs Li and White-Traut), University of Illinois at Chicago; and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee (Dr White-Traut).

Background: Premature infants are at risk for difficulties in feeding, social interaction, and growth. Many premature infants exhibit a lower capacity for self-regulation, resulting in less behavioral alertness and hypersensitivity to stimulation. Feeding is critically important because it is a primary factor for infant growth and a major concern for both parents and clinicians.
