Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the combined effect of maternal touch and sound with 50% glucose on reducing pain due to blood sampling in preterm infants
Design
The infants in the combined group received Jackson's sound and touch from the mother for 5 minutes. The mother would touch Yakson at the baby's bedside, whisper the previously mentioned lullaby, and draw blood at the same time. The Yakson protocol has key aspects of traditional Yakson (warm hands, gentle touch without pressure, and gentle hand movements) that are suitable for premature infants. In Yakson touch, the non-dominant hand is placed on the baby's back and the dominant hand is placed on the baby's chest and abdomen. Infants in the oral glucose group received 2 ml and blood sampling was performed after 2 minutes. The infants in the control group received routine care.
Settings and conduct
Premature infants referred to Ali Ibn Abitaleb Hospital in Rafsanjan from November 2016 to June 1400 were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to three equal groups of combination, oral glucose and control.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
All premature infants weighing less than 2500 g, gestational age at birth at least 29 weeks and at most 36 weeks, lack of congenital anomalies, no intracranial hemorrhage or neurological problems, inability to take painkillers 24 hours a day They had arterial blood sampling and entered the study.
Intervention groups
The combined intervention of Yakson touch and maternal voice was performed on one group of infants and oral glucose in the other group and the control group did not receive any intervention.
Main outcome variables
Touching Jackson, mother's voice, oral glucose, pain intensity, premature infants
