Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In Taiwan, 183,254 newborns were born in 2018, with preterm births accounting for about 8-10%. The preterm infant required frequent medical treatment from birth to hospital discharge, which is accompanied by a painful process that can cause unstable vital signs in the short term and may affect their biological and psychological development in the long term. Music therapy is a non-invasive and easily accessible intervention, can be used to reduce the discomfort of painful stimulation during hospitalization of preterm infants. Music therapies in this text are the mother's voice and lullabies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was a quantitative study of a randomized controlled trial, designed by experimental research method, and followed the principle of Allocation Concealment to conduct a randomized assignment trial. Using G\*Power 3.1 to estimate the number of samples, and the statistical method chosen was Repeated measures ANOVA, the sample size is 120.

The subjects were divided into four groups, all four groups were administered general routine care, three experimental groups, and one control group, and the experimental group was a repetitive segment of audio recording edited to 13 minutes. There were three interventions: group A maternal voice reading children's books, group B lullaby, group C maternal voice reading children's books combined with lullaby, and the control group was the routine care group without any audio intervention. Physiological indicators, including heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pain response assessed using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), were recorded 3 minutes before, during, 1st, 3rd, and 10 minutes after heel lance puncture.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Maternal voice

Recording the maternal voice in reading children's books, and recorded the sound for 13 minutes. When the premature infants undergoing heel lance procedure, the experimental group was explored maternal voice, which starts from 3 minutes before the procedure and ends ten minutes after the heel puncture.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Maternal voice

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The recordings were made in a quiet and separate consultation room. For infants in the "maternal voice group," mothers were recorded what they wanted to say to their baby and read an independently published children's book, "Xiao Qi's yellow persimmon" which describes how mothers with premature babies care for their infants. After reviewing the quality of the recordings, the maternal voice recordings were edited for 13 minutes using a sound organizer. Respiration, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) were measured and recorded 3 minutes before, during, 1 minute, 3 minutes, and 10 minutes after the puncture.

Lullaby

The Brahms Lullaby recordings are compiled for 13 minutes. When the premature infants undergoing heel lance procedure, the experimental group was explored Brahms Lullaby, which starts from 3 minutes before the procedure and ends ten minutes after the heel puncture.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lullaby

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Brahms Lullaby recordings are compiled for 13 minutes. Measuring with the Respiration, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS ) were recorded 3 minutes before, during, 1st, 3rd, and 10th minutes after the heel lance puncture.

Maternal voice combined with lullaby

Recording the maternal voice in reading children's books and giving mother listening to the lullaby at the same time, and recorded the sound for 13 minutes. When the premature infants undergoing heel lance procedure, the experimental group was explored Maternal voice combined with Brahms lullaby, which starts from 3 minutes before the procedure and ends ten minutes after the heel puncture.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Maternal voice combined with lullaby

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The recordings were made in a quiet and separate consultation room. For infants in the " Maternal voice combined with lullaby group, " mothers were recorded what they wanted to say to their baby and read an independently published children's book-"Xiao Qi's yellow persimmon ", and giving mother listening to the Brahms Lullaby at the same time, the maternal voice recordings were edited for 13 minutes using a sound organizer. Measuring with the Respiration, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS ) were recorded 3 minutes before, during, 1st, 3rd, and 10th minutes after the heel lance puncture.

Control group

When the premature infants undergoing heel lance procedure , the control group was under routine care . Measuring with the Respiration , heart rate , oxygen saturation , and neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS ) were recorded 3 minutes before , during , 1st , 3rd , and 10th minutes after the heel lance puncture .

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
2. Infants who were required to receive heel lance procedure every 8 hours after physicians' diagnoses.
3. Those who can record the mother's voice and whose mother can read Chinese.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Abnormal ear appearance, chromosomal abnormalities, congenital or acquired infections.
2. Postnatal patients whose mothers are not in the postnatal ward, e.g., those who need to be admitted to the intensive care unit due to their medical condition.
3. Patients used high-frequency oscillatory ventilators, because the high-frequency oscillatory ventilator gives 600 oscillatory breaths per minute and it is not possible to evaluate whether the study subjects can effectively listen to the interventions given, so they were excluded.
4. Mothers who were unable to complete the recording because of emotional ups and downs during the recording process.
5. Mothers who smoked, drank alcohol or used illegal drugs during pregnancy.
6. the patients was diagnosed with Asphyxia of the newborn at birth
7. Painkillers used within 2 days of birth.
