  • Title: Studies on the Brazelton neonatal behavioural assessment scale.
    Author: Leijon I, Finnström O.
    Journal: Neuropediatrics; 1981 Aug; 12(3):242-53. PubMed ID: 7290344.
    Abstract:
    The Brazelton neonatal behavioural assessment scale was applied in 120 healthy full-time newborn infants. Interobserver reliability on day 5 (n = 20), test-retest reliability on day 4-5 (n = 20), and correlations between examinations on day 1 and day 5 (n = 80) were studied with regard to individual and grouped items (subscale) in the test. The over-all interobserver reliability generally seemed to be satisfactory, but low estimates of test-retest reliability were obtained for many items. Items assessing orientation capacity and regulation of state showed better test-retest stability when the predominate states were identical on both occasions. Some subscales were significantly related to parity, sex, birthweight, and age in hours at examination.
