Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study is a, prospective randomized controlled trial. The population for the research will comprise 108 premature neonates from 28-35 weeks gestation receiving NIMV support in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from March 2023 to March 2024. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups; the first group (n=40) will have hydrocolloid tape applied, the second group (n=40) will have facial massage and the third group (n=40 will be the control group. Research data will be collected with the Neonatal Descriptive Information Form, Nasal Injury Score Table (NIST), Neonate Skin Condition Scale (NSCS), Premature Infant Comfort Scale (COMFORT) and Neonatal Stress Scale (NSS).
Intervention Tools:
The NICU where the study will be performed uses SLEE 2000 and SLEE 5000 model mechanical ventilators. Both mechanical ventilators have no difference in implementation modes for invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation for term and premature infants. All premature infants included in the study will have NIMV support provided using SLEE 2000 and SLEE 5000 model mechanical ventilators. For NIMV of premature infants, NeoSmart brand (Mediplast Respiratory Products Sdn. Bhd, Malaysia) nasal cannulas will be used. The nasal cannula has soft binasal prongs and suitable structure for low- and high-flow oxygen use. A new sterile cannula will be used for each infant. There are 5 different sizes of x small, small, medium, large and x large. The sizes most frequently used for premature infants are small and medium.
In the hydrocolloid barrier group, Comfeel Plus brand hydrocolloid tape will be used. Hydrocolloid tape is a dressing cover made of soft, flexible and economic material in the form of a semi-permeable film or foam-supported gel (Başara, 2022; Ribeiro et al., 2020; Imbulana et al., 2018). Air exchange continues due to the semipermeable film on the top, while entry of harmful microorganisms to the region is prevented, healing is accelerated by creating a humid environment for the wound and exudate from the wound is absorbed. These features reduce the risk of developing infection and ensure patient comfort (Başara, 2022; Ribeiro et al., 2020; Imbulana et al., 2018; Fletcher et al. 2011; Xie, 2014). There is no specific change time, though generally the tape is changed every 3-5 days; however, it may remain in place for up to 7 days (Ribeiro et al., 2020; Fletcher et al. 2011).
Premature infants in the facial massage group will have facial massage applied by the researcher. The researcher has completed 120 hours of theoretical and practical training about infant massage and received the Infant Massage Certificate. For facial massage, physiological serum used for routine moisturizing in the clinic will be used. When performing facial massage, the fingers will be placed in the middle of the infant's forehead and massage will be performed towards the temples. The eyelids will be lightly rubbed toward the temples. Both thumbs will be placed in the center of the eyebrows and the ridge of the nose will be rubbed toward the lips. The sides of the nose will be rubbed with light pressure. The nasal septum will be rubbed toward the tip of the nose along the philtrum. The fingers will be placed on the philtrum region above the gums and the mouth will be rubbed toward the ears to make a smiling expression. The chin will be lightly massaged toward the back of the ears. The thumbs of both hands will rub from under the infant's chin toward the temples to give make a smiling face (smiling motion).
Hydrocolloid barrier group: Premature infants will firstly be assessed by two nurses with undergraduate degrees working in the clinic in terms of neonatal skin condition score, nasal injury score, neonatal stress level and comfort score before beginning NIMV support. The colloid tape will be cut to a t-shape to cover across the bridge of the nose and the nasal septum and philtrum and placed on the infant's face. For 3 days after beginning NIMV support, the same two nurses will assess the neonatal skin condition score, nasal injury score, neonatal stress level and comfort score at 24-hour intervals.
Facial Massage group: Premature infants will firstly be assessed by two nurses with undergraduate degrees working in the clinic in terms of neonatal skin condition score, nasal injury score, neonatal stress level and comfort score before beginning NIMV support. After beginning NIMV support, the researcher will perform facial massage 2 times in each 12-hour shift. For 3 days after beginning NIMV support, the same two nurses will assess the neonatal skin condition score, nasal injury score, neonatal stress level and comfort score at 24-hour intervals.
Control group: Premature infants will firstly be assessed by two nurses with undergraduate degrees working in the clinic in terms of neonatal skin condition score, nasal injury score, neonatal stress level and comfort score before beginning NIMV support. After beginning NIMV support, no procedure apart from routine care will be performed. Routine care includes feeding every 3 hours, diaper care, position changes, changing the placement of probes and electrodes and confirming the position of the nasal cannula. For 3 days after beginning NIMV support, the same two nurses will assess the neonatal skin condition score, nasal injury score, neonatal stress level and comfort score at 24-hour intervals. If nasal injury develops in the control group, antibacterial creams may be used in line with permission from the clinical doctor.
