ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of pacifiers plus touching intervention on venipuncture-induced pains in newborn babies.Methods Ninety two neonates undergoing venous puncturing were randomly divided into touching intervention group and pacifiers plus touching group.During and after the venipuncture,the neonatal pain score,heart rate and blood oxygen saturation were compared between the two groups.Results The degree of pain perception in the pacifiers plus touching group was significantly lower than that in the only touching group(P<0.001).During and afterpuncturing the heart rate of the pacifiers plus touching group was significantly lower than that in the only touching group.However,the blood oxygen saturation was significantly higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Pacifiers plus touching can effectively relieve venipuncture-induced pains in neonates.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the impact of applying patient-centered care concept on easing the negative moods among the parents of the neonates hospitalized in NICU.Methods The parents of neonates (76 people) hospitalized in NICU from March to May in 2012 were selected as the control group,they conducted normal nursing.The parents of neonates hospitalized in NICU during June and August in 2012 were named as the observation group (81 people).In addition to the normal nursing,they were given nursing intervention according to patient-centered care concept.The anxiety and depression moods of the two groups was analyzed.Results Before the patient-centered care concept intervention,there was no statistical difference of SAS,SDS scores for both groups.For the observation group,the SAS,SDS scores after intervention were significantly lower than those before the intervention.While for the control group,there was no statistical difference of SAS,SDS scores.After intervention,the SAS、SDS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions The negative moods of the parents of hospitalized neonates can be eased significantly by applying patient-centered care concept intervention.
