Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study determine the effect of KMC on pain in infants during vaccination.

Description:

Infants undergo many painful procedures from the time they are born. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is one of the nonpharmacological methods that are effective in alleviating pain. The aim of this randomized controlled study determine the effect of KMC on pain in infants during vaccination. The study subjects were 128 healthy, 1-month-old infants and their mothers. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), a pulse oximeter, and a chronometer were used in collecting the data. This study indicate that KMC reduced crying duration, heart rate, and pain in vaccinated infants, whereas it increased oxygen saturation levels in the blood.
