Brief Summary

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

Peripheral Central Catheter (PICC) is one of the painful interventions that are routinely performed repeatedly to establish a safe venous access in preterm babies.Nurses should reduce the pain of babies and ensure their comfort during interventions arising from the necessity of care processes.

Today, it is accepted that tactile stimuli, which have a pain-reducing effect on babies, should be used as a complementary treatment and care method. Palmar grasp reflex is one of the important tactile stimuli to reduce pain and provide comfort in babies. This research will be conducted to examine the effect of palmar grasp reflex stimulation on pain and comfort levels in PICC care in preterm babies.

Study Groups

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

Reflex Stimulation

Along with the NICU PICC care application procedures, palmar grasp reflex stimulation was performed on all babies by the same researcher, starting one minute before the procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Palmar grasp reflex stimulation

Intervention Type OTHER

This initiative is stimulated by applying gentle pressure to the palm of the baby's palm while he or she is awake, lying on a flat surface in a symmetrical supine position.

PICC Care

Without any intervention to the control group, the necessary data were recorded in accordance with the NICU's PICC care application procedures.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
