Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of Gentle Human Touch during suction on the pain of preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit
Design
Clinical trial study with a crossover design, in which subjects randomly receive a sequence of either suctioning with intervention- suctioning without intervention or suctioning without intervention- suctioning with intervention.The total number of neonates is 40.
Settings and conduct

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group:To evaluate the effect of Gentle Human Touch during endotracheal suctioning on procedural pain response in preterm infant,A total of 40 neonates with entry criteria and written consent from their parents are included in the study, which is used as a cross-over design.The intervention is performed by the researcher in a Gentle Human Touch in the infants during suctioning. Will be filmed up to 30 seconds after the intervention, and the heart rate changes and arterial oxygen saturation will be recorded from the monitor.Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) is used to measure neonatal pain and the pain score is recorded. The pain score is compared with the score of the recorded pain from non-interventional items.
