Effects of Music-Based Interventions on Sleep Patterns and Physiological Responses in Premature Newborns: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa

Summary

Sleep in the neonatal period is a fundamental biological requirement for regulating growth, neurodevelopment, and the immune system. However, disruptions in sleep patterns during this period are common among both term and preterm infants. Preterm infants have a more fragile sleep structure due to incomplete neurological maturation, while term infants may also experience sleep difficulties during the postnatal adaptation process. Improving sleep onset and sleep quality in newborns is crucial for the well-being and quality of life of both the infant and the family.
