Brief Summary

Pain relief interventions in invasive interventions are divided into two pharmacologic methods and non-pharmacologic methods. Nonpharmacologic interventions are an area where nurses can easily demonstrate their independent roles. Especially today, when the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods is increasing, nurses are also turning to these methods. Non-pharmacological methods include listening to white noise, non-nutritive sucking, aromatherapy applications, placing the baby on the mother's lap, changing position, rocking, touching, distracting, listening to music, watching cartoons, singing, breastfeeding and giving sucrose solution with breast milk, giving toys and smelling mother odour. This study was planned to determine the effect of the therapeutic toy used during IV catheter placement, which is the most common invasive intervention in the Neonatal Care Unit where a newborn baby is hospitalized, on the comfort level, crying time and physiological parameters of the newborn.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (12)

  • COMFORT LEVEL

    The Neonatal Comfort Scale was developed by Ambuel et al., revised by van Dijk et al. and validated in Turkish by Kahraman et al. in 2014. The scores that can be obtained from the Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale vary between 6-30. A higher score means that the newborn is not comfortable and needs interventions to provide comfort.

  • BREATHE PER MINUTE

    The form was created by the researchers by reviewing the literature in order to collect physiological parameter data just before the intervention was applied to the newborn, when the intervention started and 1 minute and 5 minutes after the intervention ended.

Study Arms (2)

CONTROL GROUP

NO INTERVENTION

All newborns in the study will be monitored during IV catheter placement. Newborns in the control group will not be given any therapeutic toy and IV catheter will be placed and their comfort levels and vital signs will be monitored.

therapeutic toy GROUP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

All newborns in the study will be monitored during IV catheter placement. Newborns in the therapeutic toy group will be given an octopus-shaped therapeutic toy that they can hold in their hands throughout the procedure and IV catheter will be inserted and their comfort levels and vital signs will be monitored.

Device: therapeutic toy

Interventions

Neonates in the therapeutic toy group will be given an octopus-shaped therapeutic toy that they can hold in their hands throughout the procedure and IV catheter will be inserted and their comfort levels and vital signs will be monitored.
