Brief Summary

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

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Therapeutic Touch and Mother's Voice on pain and comfort levels of preterm infants during nasal CPAP application.

Detailed Description

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

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Therapeutic Touch and Mother's Voice on pain and comfort levels of preterm infants during nasal CPAP application.

Design and Method: The study, which used a randomized controlled trial, included 124 preterm neonatal infants a gestational age of 28- 37 weeks and received nasal CPAP. The infants were treated with Mother's Voice, Therapeutic Touch, and Mother's Voice+ Therapeutic Touch. The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and Premature Infant Comfort Scale (PICS) scores of the infants were measured before, during and after the nasal CPAP application.

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Because of the nature of the intervention, double-blinding was not possible in this study.

Study Groups

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

Mother's Voice

The mothers were asked to sing lullabies, and their voices were recorded in a quiet environment. Which lullaby they would sing was left to the mothers' discretion, and the audio recording process took an average of 2-3 minutes. The voice recordings taken were applied for a total of 15 minutes before, during and after the nasal CPAP application.The NIPS and PICS scores were evaluated and recorded before, during and after the application.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Therapeutic Touch

Intervention Type OTHER

Therapeutic touch was started 5 minutes before nasal prongs were placed, and was applied for 5 minutes during the application, and continued for another 5 minutes after the nasal prongs were placed. The method was applied for a total of 15 minutes as 5 minutes of hand resting, 5 minutes of gentle caressing and 5 more minutes of hand resting.The NIPS and PICS scores were evaluated and recorded before, during and after the application.

Mother's Voice +Therapeutic Touch

Intervention Type OTHER

Both applications were applied together for 15 minutes.The NIPS and PICS scores were evaluated and recorded before, during and after the application.

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

The premature babies in the control group did not receive any intervention other than the hospital procedure.The NIPS and PICS scores were evaluated and recorded before, during and after the application.

Therapeutic Touch

Therapeutic touch was started 5 minutes before nasal prongs were placed, and was applied for 5 minutes during the application, and continued for another 5 minutes after the nasal prongs were placed. The method was applied for a total of 15 minutes as 5 minutes of hand resting, 5 minutes of gentle caressing and 5 more minutes of hand resting.The NIPS and PICS scores were evaluated and recorded before, during and after the application.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
