Abstract: Aims and objectives This study aimed to develop an applicable oral training protocol and test its effects on vital sign stabilisation in premature infants. Background Oral training improves the feeding behaviour of premature infants. However, the inconsistencies of oral training procedures in previous studies obscure the interventional effect of oral training on vital sign stabilisation in premature infants. Design True experimental design. Methods Sixty premature infants with a gestational age
