Aim of the study is to determine the effects of classical and harp music practice on physiological parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation value), cerebral oxygenation value (rSO2) and comfort of premature infants. It is a parallel, three-group randomized controlled trial with a prospective, pretest, posttest experimental design. The study will be carried out in Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A total of 84 premature babies will be included in the study, including the group to be listened to classical music (n=28), the group to be listened to harp music (n=28), and the control group (n=28). Triple blocks were created in the computer environment so that the premature infants to be included in the study could be assigned to three study groups using the balanced block randomization method (randomization.com). The randomization will be hidden from the researcher conducting the trial until the administration begins. The researcher will be given 84 envelopes and will begin to open the envelopes when they meet the baby. The researcher will learn which group each baby is in just before the application. Data collection tools; newborn Descriptive Information Form, physiological parameter and rSO2 follow-up form, and Premature infant comfort scale. The rSO2 value will be measured with the NIRS monitor. During the data collection phase, the purpose of the study will be explained to the parents of the premature infants by the researcher first, and informed about the study and consent will be obtained from the parents who agreed to participate in the study through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". To venture groups (classical and harp music); After feeding, a music box and a decibel meter will be placed in the incubator and classical music will be turned on at 50-55 dB. Just before the music is played, the premature infants physiological parameters, rSO2 and comfort level will be evaluated and recorded. For 30 minutes, music will be played to the baby according to the intervention group (classical and harp music). After 30 minutes, the baby's physiological parameters, rSO2 and comfort level will be evaluated and recorded again. Each session will be held in this way, a total of 15 sessions of music will be applied to thepremature infants, and the baby's physiological parameters, rSO2 and comfort level will be evaluated and recorded before and after each session. The control group is; premature infants in this group are those who take the clinical routine without being exposed to any music. After feeding, the baby's physiological parameters, rSO2 and comfort level will be evaluated and recorded. They will not be exposed to any music and sound for 30 minutes and there will be no intervention. At the 30th minute, the premature infants physiological parameters, rSO2 and comfort level will be evaluated and recorded. Evaluation of the data will be done in the computer environment with the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 22.0 package program. Partial eta squared will be calculated for the effect size and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
Background: A randomized controlled study was conducted on the effects of laughter therapy on increasing the acceptance of the disease, compliance with treatment and comfort levels in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. Materials and methods: The study was conducted with 42 (experimental group=21, control group=21) patients treated in the hemodialysis unit. Eight sessions of laughter yoga were applied to the hemodialysis patients in the experimental group for four weeks, two days a week. Data were used on the Patient Information Form, the Acceptance Scale, the End Stage Renal Failure - Compliance Scale, and the Hemodialysis Comfort Scale.
In addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods are also used to control back pain and anxiety. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of 30 degrees raised supine position and back support applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography from the femoral artery on back pain, anxiety and patient comfort. This research was planned as a pretest-posttest randomized, controlled, experimental study in order to determine the effect of the elevated supine position and back support application applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography with femoral artery access on back pain, anxiety and comfort levels of patients. Research Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University SUAH Hospital Cardiology intensive care unit September 2021 - September The sample of the research was determined by power analysis. According to the calculation made, the sample; With an effect size of 0.90, a margin of error of 0.05, a confidence interval of 0.95, and a power of 0.95, it was calculated that there should be 35 people in each group to represent the universe. "Patient Information Form", "Numeric Pain Intensity Scale VAS", "State- The necessary information of the patient will be collected with the "Trait Anxiety Scale" and the "Immobilization comfort scale". After the information of the patient whose hemodynamics is provided, the experimental group will be given a 30 degrees Elevated Supine Position and the back area will be supported with a 36x33x10 sized silicone gel pad that prevents sweating, and the measurements will be repeated at the 2nd and 4th hours after the CAG procedure. The patients in the control group will have the same measurements at the 0th hour, 2nd hour and 4th hour after the femoral angiography procedure. During this period, the patients will remain in the straight supine position without back support, which is routinely applied in the clinic.
The neonatal period covers the first 28 days after birth. Newborns may experience problems such as jaundice, restlessness, nasal congestion, respiratory distress, and vomiting in this process, and for these reasons, children are brought to the emergency services. From the moment they enter the emergency service, they are exposed to sensory stimuli in the form of bright lights, loud and unusual sounds, and new tactile experiences. This creates an uncomfortable and stressful experience for them. At the same time, performing invasive procedural interventions in an environment where stimuli are intense causes pain. Newborns give physiological, behavioral and metabolic responses depending on the pain and stress they experience. Persistent exposure to these interventions and lack of appropriate approaches may lead to deterioration in pain perceptions and neuroendocrine stress responses, and permanent neurological and behavioral problems may develop over time. For this reason, pain in newborns and the problems caused by stress should be known, appropriate pain relief methods should be selected and comfort should be provided. However, pediatric emergency nurses who perform the procedural methods of newborns whose rates of admission to pediatric emergency services are reported as 2-3% may not have sufficient experience in pain management in newborns. Pediatric emergency nurses need to be supported in order to increase their awareness of newborns and to continue their pain management. While it has been reported in the literature that there are non-pharmacological methods including individualized developmental care practices in the procedural pain management of newborns; there are no studies aimed at reducing their pain, preventing their exposure to environmental factors and ensuring their comfort during painful procedures in pediatric emergency departments. In this context, it is planned to use a portable therapeutic baby nest in the pediatric emergency department, where newborns will feel safe and maintain their flexion posture during the venous blood sampling, as well as be protected from noise and light, thereby reducing the pain caused by the procedural method and providing comfort, and a randomized controlled experimental study.
