Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of positioning with an octopus doll on the behavioral responses of preterm infants under non-invasive ventilation
Design
Clinical trial with control group, crossover, double-blind, randomized using envelope method and with a sample size of 25.The study is a cross-sectional design and 25 infants under study are also in their control group.
Settings and conduct
Twenty-five preterm infants between the ages of 28 and 34 weeks will be admitted to the NICU of Ommolbanin Hospital under non-invasive ventilation who meet the inclusion criteria. Behavioral reactions are recorded during the intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: parental consent, infant 28 to 34 weeks, maximum 24 hours after the start of non-invasive ventilation, No invasive procedure was performed on the infant 2 hours before admission to the study, no contraindications to change position, no drug use in the mother during pregnancy and after Delivery, not using drugs that affect the sleep-wake cycle of the baby, not prescribing sedatives, having a 5 minute Apgar score higher than 6, not having surgery on the baby after birth.exclusion criteria: Congenital and chromosomal abnormalities, asphyxia, intracerebral hemorrhage more than first grade, sepsis, heart disease, metabolic, anemia. SGA and IUGR.
Intervention groups
To perform the intervention, in the supine position, the octopus doll will be placed in the baby's arms and the doll's feet will be in contact with the baby's body and hands. The babies of the first group will be placed in the fetal position for the first 2 hours. In the second 2 hours, they will be placed in the fetal position with the touch of an octopus doll, and in the babies of the second group, the opposite will be done. The neonates under study are also used as their control group.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Samples will be randomly assigned to two groups using the envelope method. This is how the envelopes will be prepared and printed by one of the members of the research team and random numbers with the help of Randomaize.com site and will be placed inside the envelope. The lid of the envelope will be closed and its contents will not be visible from the outside. Then, the purpose of the study is first explained to the infant's parents, and if they wish, they sign the informed consent form and take an envelope, and then open it, and based on the contents of the envelope, the infant enters the intervention or control group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the subjects under study who are premature infants are not aware of the study and also the analyst will be unaware of the intervention and control groups.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
behavioral response of premature infants (sleep, wakefulness and restlessness)
Timepoint
Behavioral reactions of premature infants will be observed 2 minutes before the intervention, 2 minutes during and 2 minutes after the intervention and in each turn will be observed for 30 seconds and will be recorded in the relevant form.
Method of measurement
In this study, the infant's behavioral response is assessed using the Anderson Behavioral Reaction Scoring System (ABSS), which measures the infant's behavior with sleep, wakefulness, and restlessness. This scoring system determines a baby's behavioral status based on observation of respiratory order, open or closed eyes, trunk and limb activity, and crying intensity. The scoring system consists of 12 levels and behavioral states are classified into three categories: sleep, wakefulness, and restlessness. The scores are 1-5 related to sleep, 6-8 points related to wakefulness and rest, and 9-12 points related to restlessness. Based on this ABSS tool, 2 minutes before, 2 minutes during and 2 minutes after the intervention and at each turn for 30 seconds, the reactions of the baby's behaviors will be observed and recorded in the relevant form. In the Anderson Behavior Scoring System, the infant is observed for 30 seconds and the number corresponding to the highest behavioral state observed is recorded with one exception: Conscious Inactivity, which is a desirable but relatively rare state when it occurs. It is possible even if another state with the highest number occurs in the same 30 seconds, because conscious inactivity is a desirable state in infants

Title and more details about the data/document
All data can potentially be shared after unidentified individuals.
When the data will become available and for how long
The start of the access period is 2 months after the results are published.
To whom data/document is available
The data will be made available to researchers working in academic and scientific institutions and to people in the relevant industry and to the relevant ministry.
Under which criteria data/document could be used
If this study has a positive effect, the effect of touching an octopus doll on the behavioral response of a premature infant under non-invasive ventilation can be used as a useful and acceptable solution to reduce stress and help calm the infant in the neonatal intensive care unit. As a result, increased relaxation is the most important element in the development of the premature nervous system.
