Abstract

Hyperbilirubinemia affects 60% of term and 80% of preterm infants in the 1st week of life. Massage is a non-invasive therapeutic technique. It does not require any special technology or equipment; can easily be carried out alongside classical medicine and can result in a lowering of treatment costs, shortening of the length of the disease and its side-effects. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of massage on the health status of neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.
