- Abstract
The article presents a research study that aims to explore the nature of Therapeutic Touch (TT) with preterm infants as described by Therapeutic Touch Practitioners and develop a TT treatment for preterm infants. It informs that the focus of the majority of TT literature for the past 30 years has been on the use of TT with adults. Little is known about the use of TT with preterm infants. Narrative inquiry and descriptive methods were used to discover knowledge about the use of TT with preterm infants.
