| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Field's massage therapy is a simple, practical, and cost-effective intervention for weight gain in premature infants. It has demonstrated significant benefits in increasing gastric motility, improving nutrient absorption, and reducing hospital stays. The present case report aimed to describe the nursing care plan for a premature infant who received Field's massage therapy for weight gain over five days, using standardized nursing language and nursing disciplinary conceptual-theoretical support. Case description: An extremely premature female infant, born at 25.2 weeks of gestational age with low birth weight and multiple comorbidities, underwent Field's massage therapy as the primary intervention for weight gain. The nursing diagnosis identified was Imbalanced nutrition: Less than body requirements [00002], related to prematurity. The nursing intervention on which the application of Field's massage therapy was based was Massage [1480], and the outcome evaluated was Weight: Body mass [1006]. After five days of the intervention, the patient exhibited a 9.6% increase in weight compared to baseline, with an average daily weight gain of 17.5 g/kg/day. Conclusions: Field's massage therapy proved to be an effective nursing intervention to promote weight gain in a premature infant hospitalized in an intensive care unit. The therapy contributed to positive clinical outcomes through an approach of humanization and patient-centered care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: La terapia de masaje de Field es una intervención sencilla, práctica y costo-efectiva para la ganancia de peso en prematuros. Esta terapia ha demostrado importantes beneficios para el aumento de la motilidad gástrica, una mejor absorción de nutrientes y la reducción de las estancias hospitalarias. El presente informe de caso tiene como objetivo describir el plan de atención de enfermería para una paciente prematura que recibió terapia de masaje de Field para la ganancia de peso durante cinco días, a través del uso del lenguaje estandarizado de enfermería y el sustento conceptual-teórico disciplinar. Descripción del caso: Paciente recién nacida extremadamente prematura de 25,2 semanas de edad gestacional, con bajo peso al nacer y múltiples comorbilidades a quien se le aplicó la terapia de masaje de Field como intervención principal. El diagnóstico de enfermería identificado fue Desequilibrio Nutricional: Menos que los requerimientos del cuerpo [00002] relacionado con prematuridad. La intervención de enfermería desde la cual se sustentó la aplicación de la terapia de masaje de Field fue Masaje [1480] y el resultado evaluado fue Peso: masa corporal [1006]. Cinco días después de la intervención, la paciente mostró un aumento del 9,6% con respecto al peso inicial, con un promedio de aumento diario de 17,5gr/kg/día. Conclusiones: La terapia de masaje de Field demostró ser una intervención de enfermería efectiva para la ganancia de peso de una paciente prematura hospitalizada en una unidad de cuidado intensivo. La terapía contribuyó a obtener resultados clínicos positivos desde un enfoque de humanización y atención centrada en el paciente. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Ela demonstrou benefícios significativos no aumento da motilidade gástrica, levando a uma maior absorção de nutrientes e à redução do tempo de internação hospitalar. Este artigo descreve o plano de cuidados de enfermagem para um paciente prematuro, utilizando a técnica de massagem de campo para ganho de peso ao longo de um período de cinco dias, utilizando linguagem padronizada de enfermagem e uma base conceitual e teórica disciplinar. Descrição do Caso: este relato apresenta um recém-nascido prematuro extremo de 25,2 semanas de idade gestacional, com baixo peso ao nascer e múltiplas comorbidades.

O diagnóstico de enfermagem presente no paciente foi desequilíbrio nutricional: ingestão abaixo das necessidades relacionada à prematuridade [00002], a intervenção da qual se baseou a aplicação da terapia de campo foi a massagem [1480] e o resultado avaliado foi o ganho de peso [1006] onde após a aplicação da intervenção foi evidenciado um aumento de 9,6% sobre o peso inicial após 5 dias, com aumento médio diário de 17,5gr/kg/dia. Conclusões: a aplicação da massagem de campo demonstrou ser uma intervenção de enfermagem eficaz para ganho de peso em pacientes prematuros em ambientes de terapia intensiva; contribuindo assim para desfechos clínicos positivos a partir de uma abordagem de humanização e cuidado centrado no paciente.
