Brief Summary

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

The present study was planned to evaluate the pain of 4-6 weeks infants felt during removal of the adhesive products from newborn's skin used in the fixation of nasogastric tube in neonatal and infant units. The hypothesis of the study is "Water-based barrier tape is more effective to reduce pain than hydrocolloid barrier tape.

Detailed Description

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

The study was planned as randomized controlled and experimental design to compare the efficiency of three different methods reducing pain during removal adhesive products for 4-6 weeks infants. The universe of the study consisted of 4-6 weeks infants in neonatal and infants clinics of Giresun Women's and Children's Hospital between the dates of July-September 2021. Power analysis was performed through G\*Power (v3.1.7) programme in order to determine the number of the sample. At the beginning of the study, a reference study (Kemer, 2020) was used for sample calculation. The effect size was calculated as d=0.561 regarding the assessment of skin condition scores and 120 participants in total should be included in the study as 40 participants for each groups in order to obtain 80% power in the level of α=0.05. Block randomization technique is applied in the study as a randomization method. "As for data collection "Infant description form" and "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" was used. The scale was filled by two independent observer via double-blind method.

Study Groups

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

Water-based barrier tape

The infants in experiment 1 group will be applied water-based barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Water-based barrier tape

Intervention Type DEVICE

The infants in experiment 1 group will be applied water-based barrier tape. The area will be covered by water-based barrier tape to fix nasogastric tube and after waiting 1 minute for drying up it will be fastened by silk tape used in clinic. The silk tape will be 5 cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the water-based barrier tape, the pain felt by the infants evaluated through "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" and the score recorded in the chart. This procedure actualized 3 min. before procedure, during and 3 min after procedure.

Hydrocolloid barrier tape

The infants in experiment 2 group, hydrocolloid barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hydrocolloid barrier tape

Intervention Type DEVICE

As for experiment 2 group, hydrocolloid barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube. The hydrocolloid barrier tape, which was cut and shaped appropriately beforehand, will be applied to the area in order to stabilize the nasogastric tube and the tube will be stabilized with silk tape used in clinic. The silk tape will be 5 cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the hydrocolloid barrier tape, the pain felt by the infants evaluated with "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" and the score recorded in the chart. Since the hydrocolloid barrier tape can stay on the skin for 7 days and the assessment of the pain realized in 7th day and noted down to the chart. Pain score evaluated in 7th day 3 min. before procedure, during and 3 min after procedure

Silk plaster

The silk plaster used in clinic routinely will be used for control group infants to fix the nasogastric tube

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Silk tape

Intervention Type DEVICE

The silk tape used in clinic routinely will be used for control group infants to fix the nasogastric tube without any barrier. The silk tape will be 5cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the silk tape, the pain felt by the infants evaluated through "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" and the score recorded in the chart. This procedure actualized 3 min. before procedure, during and 3 min after procedure
