The majority of preterm infants require a long period of hospitalization in intensive care units, which often necessitates those undergoing painful procedures, including blood collection. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of facilitated tucking on pain responses, including physiological parameters and the duration of crying during blood collection. The study design is quasi-experimental, employing a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest approach. The study involves 40 infants, selected by the consecutive sampling technique and assigned into two groups: an intervention group (n= 20), which received facilitated tucking during blood collection, and a control group (n= 20), which did not receive facilitated tucking. The General Linear Model+post hoc, Mann-Whitney, and independent t-test were applied to analyze the data. The results suggest that there was a significant difference in the mean of the pulse, oxygen saturation, and duration of crying between the two groups during blood collection. The duration of crying in the intervention group was shorter than in the control group. Facilitated tucking was effective in relieving pain and the duration of crying during blood collection, and could be implemented as part of the developmental care process to promote pain management in infants.
The high number of morbidity has an effect on the high number of children hospitalization cases, resulting in children vulnerable to stress. Installation of infusion is one of the most invasive measures during child nursing and can cause pain. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of cutaneous stimulation and cuddling therapy combination during infusion on toddler's pain response in the nursery of Siti Aisyah Regional Hospital in 2019. The design of the study is an action research with posttest_only control group design. Behavioral and physiological pain responses in the form of pulse frequencies in the two groups will be observed and compared. Forty-eight children in the study sample were divided into two groups; the intervention group (n=24) with a combination of cutaneous stimulation and cuddling therapy and the control group (n=24) with only cutaneous stimulation were taken by consecutive sampling. Analysis is done using Mann Whitney. There are significant differences in pain scale and average pulse between the two groups. The combination of cutaneous stimulation in the form of cold pack and cuddling therapy has proven to be effective as a nonpharmacological therapy that can be applied in children's room as part of a child nursing.
