Abstract: This quasi-experimental research aiming to compare feeding efficiency and transition time from tube to oral feeding in preterm infants who received oral stimulation and preterm infants who received standard nursing care. Participants were preterm infants with a gestational age of 31-33 weeks who had been admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and sick newborn unit of Ratchaburi Hospital and Damnoen Saduak Hospital. The sample was assigned to either the intervention group of 14 infants or the control group of 14 infants. The research instrument was the oral stimulation program and data collection tools included the pediatric data recording form, the oral stimulation recording form, the feeding efficiency recording form, and the transition time from tube to oral feeding recording form. General information on the sample was analyzed by descriptive statistics, repeated measure ANOVA, and independent t-test. The research findings revealed that Preterm infants who received oral massage to stimulate sucking demonstrated significantly better feeding performance and a shorter transition period from tube feeding to independent oral feeding compared with those who received standard nursing care (p < .05). Therefore, healthcare professionals caring for neonates should implement oral massage as an intervention to stimulate sucking ability in preterm infants, enhance feeding efficiency, and reduce the risk of aspiration.
