“…Auditory interventions started as early as 25 weeks PMA [74] and lasted from 8 min [75][76][77][78] to 30 min 5x/day for a total of 150 min per day [74]. Studies occurred for as short as 1 day [79,80] and as long as 6-10 weeks [74]. Some studies used headphones, and others did not.…”

NICU sensory experiences associated with positive outcomes: an integrative review of evidence from 2015–2020

To inform changes to the Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences (SENSE) program, studies investigating sensory-based interventions in the NICU with preterm infants born ≤32 weeks were identified. Studies published between October 2015 to December 2020, and with outcomes related to infant development or parent well-being, were included in this integrative review. The systematic search used databases including MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Fifty-seven articles (15 tactile, 9 auditory, 5 visual, 1 gustatory/olfactory, 5 kinesthetic, and 22 multimodal) were identified. The majority of the sensory interventions that were identified within the articles were reported in a previous integrative review (1995–2015) and already included in the SENSE program. New evidence has led to refinements of the SENSE program, notably the addition of position changes across postmenstrual age (PMA) and visual tracking starting at 34 weeks PMA.

“…Recent reviews show that exposure to maternal voice (Filippa et al, 2017; Provenzi et al, 2018), and more generally to human voice (Saliba et al, 2018), has beneficial effects on physiological and behavioral stability of preterm infants, and may offer an earlier opportunity for sensory enrichment when tactile stimulation is avoided due to medical instability (Provenzi et al, 2018). However, early sensory stimulation can have also detrimental effects (Lejeune et al, 2019), particularly when stimuli are not live and not contingent on infant behavior, as in the case of recorded voice (see Filippa, 2019).…”

“…Nevertheless, other authors found low or no effects of this exposure, especially in relation to physiological outcomes [32,33,38,40,41,43]. Furthermore, a recent study by Lejeune and colleagues [44] found negative outcomes, such as worse tactile sensory learning, for preterm infants exposed to taped maternal voice sounds.…”

Background: After preterm birth, infants are at high risk for delays in language development. A promising intervention to reduce this risk is represented by the exposure to parental voices through book-reading in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). This study investigated the possible advantages of book-reading to preterm neonates during their NICU stay on their subsequent language development. Methods: 100 families of preterm infants were recruited. The parents of 55 preterm infants (Reading Group) received a colored picture-book on NICU admission and were supported to read to their neonate as often as possible and to continue after hospital discharge. Forty-five infants (Control Group) were recruited before the beginning of the intervention. Infant language development was assessed with the Hearing and Language quotients of the Griffith Mental Development Scale at the corrected ages of 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months. Results: Regardless of group membership, Hearing and Language mean quotients decreased between 9 and 18 months; nevertheless, this decrease was considerably reduced in the Reading group, compared to the Control Group. Conclusions: Reading in NICUs represents a suitable intervention that could positively influence language development and parent-infant relationships in preterm children. The study findings support its implementation as a preventive measure.

Abstract: Being exposed to a female voice had a negative impact on preterm infants' tactile sensory learning, regardless of its intensity.
