Brief Summary

High-risk neonates are forced to be separated from their parents due to hospitalization, and clinical medical treatment often causes pain and physical stress in high-risk newborns. Many literatures have confirmed that the mother's voice is positively helpful to the physiology of high-risk newborns, but few studies have been conducted on the father's voice. However, the parenting process is not only a link between the mother-child relationship, but also the impact of parental voice on high-risk newborns infants. Parent roles are expecting. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of parental voice intervention in high-risk newborns' heel puncture in reducing pain, and to further compare the mother and father's voice characteristics to the analysis of the pain degree of high-risk newborns.

Study Arms (3)

Mother's voice

EXPERIMENTAL

Neonates receive the intervention that recording of mother's voice of reading children's book. And the pain of high-risk newborns was measured with the Heartbeat, Respiration, SPO2 and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) in three minutes before the heel puncture, during the puncture, and the first, fifth and tenth minutes after the puncture.

Behavioral: Parents' Voice

Father's voice

EXPERIMENTAL

Neonates receive the intervention that recording of father's voice of reading children's book. And the pain of high-risk newborns was measured with the Heartbeat, Respiration, SPO2 and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) in three minutes before the heel puncture, during the puncture, and the first, fifth and tenth minutes after the puncture.

Behavioral: Parents' Voice

When the infants undergoing heel puncture procedure, the control group were under routine care. And the pain of high-risk newborns was measured with the Heartbeat, Respiration, SPO2 and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) in three minutes before the heel puncture, during the puncture, and the first, fifth and tenth minutes after the puncture.
