| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to clarify the characteristicsof stress-coping behavior exhibited by preterm infants between 33 and 35 weeks post-conceptual age. A total of 6 premature babies were observed and video-recorded. Data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The following 4 patterns were obtained: 1) various coping behaviors appear sporadically; 2) after repeated responses, the coping behaviors grow from flexibly performed to strained; 3) the coping behaviors decrease after arm position becomes more unsteady; and 4) infants show weakened muscle tone and rapid sleep state decline. These findings indicate that it is necessary to care for these infants by keeping them in a suitable position that does not restrict their arm movement.
