Abstract
  • This study examined how swaddle bathing impacts stress and maintaining temperatures compared to traditional tub and sponge bathing in the NICU. Education on the benefits and how to swaddle bathe was provided to the nursing staff, and surveys were distributed before and after education for nurses to compare bath tolerance, stress, and body temperature. Survey results were analyzed, and findings suggest that swaddle bathing was beneficial in increasing tolerance and decreasing stress cues during and after the bath, which is supported by current evidence. Providing the staff with baths made to facilitate swaddle bathing and further education on how to properly swaddle bathe is suggested to improve bathing in the NICU. Limitations of this study included having an informal education, decreased survey participation post-education, and having limited bathing products supporting swaddle bathing.
