| *Significantly different between pre- and post-intervention. Orientation (p = 0.01), state range (p = 0.02), and state regulation (p = 0.01) cluster scores recovered significantly in the swaddling group. | ||||||
| †Significantly different between the two groups. The mean difference of the orientation (p = 0.05),state range (p = 0.02), and state regulation (p = 0.03) cluster scores were significantly higher in the swaddling group than in the massage group. | ||||||
