Filter by:Peripheral Central Catheter (PICC) is one of the painful interventions that are routinely performed repeatedly to establish a safe venous access in preterm babies.Nurses should reduce the pain of babies and ensure their comfort during interventions arising from the necessity of care processes. Today, it is accepted that tactile stimuli, which have a pain-reducing effect on babies, should be used as a complementary treatment and care method. Palmar grasp reflex is one of the important tactile stimuli to reduce pain and provide comfort in babies. This research will be conducted to examine the effect of palmar grasp reflex stimulation on pain and comfort levels in PICC care in preterm babies.
Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of mother-baby yoga and massage on mother-baby bonding and the baby's sleep. Method: A randomised, crossover pilot study was conducted in the postpartum service of a hospital between January and November 2023, with 60 mothers and their babies in the postpartum period, 30 in each group. To the mothers and their babies included in the research, baby massage was applied to one group and mother-baby yoga was applied to the other. After four weeks, the groups' practices were changed. In the results of the research, characteristics related to attachment and sleep were evaluated.
Difficulty in feeding among late preterm infants is one of the most significant factors contributing to prolonged hospitalization and re-admissions. By providing support to the sucking and swallowing muscles early in their development, the maturation process can be expedited, allowing for the safe early discharge of preterm infants. This study aims to investigate the effects of the Kinesio taping technique on feeding muscles and assess feeding and swallowing function in late preterm infants using acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds.
In this study, the bath applied to term babies in two different orders (first washing the body and lastly the head, and the classical method in which the whole body is washed starting from the head first), the babies' stress level, physiological parameters (body temperature, pulse, respiration, O2 saturation), procedure time (time of bathing). ) was planned to determine its effect on the calming time of babies. The effects of two different bathing methods given to healthy and term babies on the babies' stress level, physiological parameters (body temperature, pulse, respiration, O2 saturation), procedure time (bathing time), and calming time of the babies will be compared.
The research was carried out to determine the effect of baby warmer swaddle, which has a heating system used after the birth of preterm babies, on the development of hypothermia. Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial Setting: The research was carried out in the NICU of a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Method: A total of 65 babies between 32-37 weeks of gestation were included in the study. In accordance with the routine procedure of the clinic, preterm babies wrapped in polyethylene bags after birth formed the control group (n=33), while babies wrapped in polyethylene bags and placed in a swaddle with a heating system formed the experimental group (n=32).
It is important that effective catheter fixation will reduce the risk of catheter unavailability for specific reasons and the incidence of catheter-related complications. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sterile transparent film dressing and tape methods used in pe- ripheral intravenous catheter application in newborns on the duration of catheter stay and the development of catheter-related complications.
Heel blood sampling is a routine but painful procedure for newborns. A limited number of international studies have shown that automatic lancets are more effective with less pain and tissue damage than manual lancets. In line with this information, this study was planned to investigate the effects of manual and automatic lancets on pain and stress in newborn capillary heel blood collection.
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.
Comfort, distress and the absence of pain can be described as free from anxiety, somewhat enjoyable and ease (peaceful) situation. The child health and disease nurse should come up with physiological problems of the baby, increase the comfort degree to reduce the stress level of the baby and ensure improvement in the baby's location. This research was experimentally designed to investigate the effect of the baby's own intrauterine heart sound on pain and comfort during the invasive procedures applied to the healthy born babies in the delivery units of the Batman Gynecology and Pediatrics Hospital. The research will be performed by selecting samples in a simple random sampling method from the babies who born healthy and timely in the normal vaginal way. The number of samples will be determined by power analysis method after pilot study. The previously white noise will have listened to the babies in experimental group and will be recorded by camera during invasive interventions and the pain and comfort scale will be applied. The scales will be applied to the control group let them without listening White noise but also will be recorded with camera and thus the data will be collected. A nurse working in the unit will perform invasive interventions, later two specialists will watch video records and so the pain and comfort scales will be filled. No study on this subject was found in the international literature review. Based on the need to fill this gap in the literature, it seems that the study will contribute to the field of child health and diseases nursing.
Accurate assessment of pain in neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is vital because of the high prevalence of painful experiences, including both daily procedural pain and postoperative pain, in this population. It has been reported that newborns born between the gestational ages (GY) 25-42 and hospitalized in the NICU undergo an average of 14 painful procedures per day in the first 2 weeks of life. The aim of this study is determinin the effect of different procedures on the pain levels of newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
