减少高危新生儿接触厌恶性光刺激是发育支持护理的重要组成部分。在新生儿重症监护病房 (NICU) 中，通常通过降低房间的光照水平或使用培养箱盖来减少光照。正在使用多种类型的培养箱盖，包括自制盖和商用盖。通过比较研究确定了 19 个自制培养箱盖、2 个商用培养箱盖和 1 个接收毯的减光能力。通过在白天和夜间照明下遮盖和揭开新生儿重症监护室 (NICU) 中的培养箱和氧气罩，对这些罩子进行了测试。当将盖子放置在氧气罩和培养箱上并从其上取下时，使用 Extech 光剂量计测定每个盖子的减光能力值。研究表明，商品盖的减光能力为91.2%，自制盖的减光能力为72.1%，接收毯的减光能力为55.1%。发现商业封面和自制封面之间存在显着差异（F = 452.50，P < 0.00）。商用培养箱罩是实现减光最有效的罩；如果自制的盖子足够大，可以完全覆盖培养箱的所有侧面，那么自制的盖子会很有效。
Reduction of high‐risk neonates’ exposure to aversive light stimulation is an important component of developmentally supportive care. In neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), usually light is reduced by reducing the room’s light level or by using incubator covers. Many types of incubator covers are in use, including homemade and commercial covers. A comparative study was used to determine the light reducing capabilities of 19 homemade incubator covers, 2 commercial covers, and 1 receiving blanket. The covers were tested by covering and uncovering an incubator and an oxygen hood in the NICU during daytime and nighttime lightings. The light reducing capabilities value was determined for each cover using an Extech light dosimeter when the cover was placed over and removed from an oxyhood, and an incubator. The study showed that the light reducing capability of the commercial covers was 91.2%, the homemade covers capability was 72.1%, and the receiving blankets capability was 55.1%. A significant difference between the commercial and homemade covers was found (F= 452.50,P< 0.00). Commercial incubator covers are the most effective covers to achieve light reduction; homemade covers can be effective if made large enough so that they completely cover all sides of the incubator.
