Abstract

The bath is considered a practice with high level of manipulation that desorganizes and distresses the risk newborn (NB) infant, once the child exhibits behaviors that are still maturing. It was aimed to investigate the adequacy of the humanized bath in low weight premature infants samitted in a kangaroo nursery, identifying its contributions to the adaptive response related to environment. This is an observational cross-sectional study, developed with 35 NB admitted in a Maternity Hospital in Maceio-AL, from April to June 2009, which was used direct observation together film. Signs of approximation in the subsystems were observed, concluding that the humanized bath favors self-organization of these NB.
