Hospitalized infants undergo multiple painful procedures daily. Despite generation of a significant amount of evidence, procedural pain assessment and management in infants continues to be suboptimal. Untreated pain at this vital developmental juncture is associated with negative behavioural and neurodevelopmental consequences. To address this knowledge to practice gap, the investigators developed the Implementation of Infant Pain Practice Change (ImPaC) Resource (Resource) to guide change in health care professionals' pain practice behaviour. The aim of this study is (i) to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the Resource (primary), (ii) to evaluate the implementation effectiveness of the Resource (secondary), and (iii) to explore how organizational context influences clinical and implementation outcomes (other). Eighteen Level 2 or Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) with a minimum of 15 beds across Canada will be included in a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT). The NICUs will be randomized following baseline data collection using a computer-generated random allocation sequence (randomize.net) to either the intervention (INT) or standard practice (SP) arms. Those in INT arm will receive the Resource for a 6-month period. NICUs in the SP arm will continue as usual with their unit or institutional pain practices. They will be offered the Resource following outcomes assessment. Clinical outcomes will be assessed six months after randomization. Primary clinical outcomes include (1) the proportion of infants in the NICU who have procedural pain assessed with a valid pain measure, (2) the proportion of infants in the NICU who have procedural pain managed with an evidence-based pharmacological or physical intervention, and (3) the total number of painful procedures per infant in the NICU. Implementation outcomes will include feasibility, fidelity, cost, and reach. Organizational context will be assessed by using the Alberta Context Tool.

Eligibility | NICUs in pediatric or general hospitals will be invited to participate in this study if they: - are Level 2 or Level 3 NICUs in Canada, - have at least 15 beds, and - agree to participate for 24 months. Infants' clinical charts data will be collected if infants: • are hospitalized for the designated 24h period for chart review, Infants' charts will be excluded if: - infant leaves the unit at any time (transfer, surgeries, procedures) during the designated 24h period for chart review, - parents request to opt out of the study. Staff members of the NICU will be eligible to participate on the ImPaC change team if they: - are a health care professional, - are English speaking, - have 3+ years of experience in the NICU, - have flexibility within their role to engage in the study, and - have leadership experience (e.g. in an advanced practice or clinical role). There is no exclusion criteria. Staff members of the NICU will be invited to complete the organizational context survey if they: - have 6 months experience in the NICU, and - work 0.5 FTE or above.

Primary | Frequency of painful procedures | Total number of painful procedures (e.g. heel lance, arterial puncture, eye examination) per infant in the NICU documented in clinical charts over a standardized 24-hour period. | At 6 months after randomization | |
Secondary | Use of the Resource (Feasibility/Fidelity) | Feasibility and fidelity will be measured using Resource metrics that address (a) if all 7 steps of the Resource are completed (feasibility) and (b) if all the 7 steps are completed as intended in order (fidelity). Feasibility and fidelity metrics (data captured from the backend of the Resource website) will be electronically collected at the end of the 6-month implementation of the intervention. There is no specific measure to assess feasibility or fidelity. | At completion of 6-month intervention for INT arm | |
Secondary | Implementation costs | Implementation costs will be assessed in terms of (a) incidental costs (Canadian dollars) associated with knowledge translation and implementation activity (e.g., printing posters, refreshments for education sessions) documented in the Resource; and (b) time (hours/minutes) spent by each member of the Change Team in completing each step of the Resource. Time will be converted to actual costs by multiplying hours spent by the hourly wage of the Change Team members. Data will be captured from Resource metrics (data captured from the backend of the website) at the end of the 6-month implementation of the intervention. There is no specific measure to assess reach. | At completion of 6-month intervention for INT arm | |
Secondary | Integration of the Resource into the practice (Reach) | Number of providers in the NICU who receive each knowledge translation and implementation activity that will be documented in the Resource website by the Change Team members. Data will be captured from the Resource website at the end of the 6-month implementation of the intervention. There is no specific measure to assess reach. | At completion of 6-month intervention for INT arm |
