Material &
Methods
In this single blind randomized clinical trial, eighty premature from Khatamolanbya hospital in Mashhad at July 2014were divided randomly into two groups. In the intervention group, multisensory stimulation was performed 15 minutes before the start of the examination and the control group received standard care. Infant behaviors were recorded at 30 seconds intervals; before, during, and after eye examination. Data were analyzed by independent t test and repeated measures ANOVA using the SPSS version 14 software.
