Sasi, Michael, A., and C, A., “Effect of Facilitated Tucking on Physiological and Behavioural Responses to Pain among Infants Receiving Vaccination.”, Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology [Internet]., vol. 14, no. 4, pp. 7189-93, 2020.[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the effect of facilitated tucking on physiological and behavioural responses to pain among infants between experimental and control group before and after the IM vaccination Method: A quantitative approach with true experimental design and consecutive sampling technique was used in this study. Researcher selected 100 infants up to the age of 6 month receiving IM vaccination in the immunization clinic, AIMS, Kochi, and they are randomly assigned to control and experimental group. Demographic and clinical data was collected using structured interview schedule. Heart rate and SPO2 was monitored 2 minutes prior to the vaccination and facilitated tucking was given to the experimental group before and during the immunization and routine position was given to the control group, after that behavioural response was assessed by using neonatal infant pain scale and physiological response such as heart rate and SPO2 was assessed after 5 minutes. Result: The result showed that all the subjects in the control group had severe pain 100 %, whereas in the experimental group 50 % of the subjects had moderate pain and 50% of them had mild pain. Also there was a significant difference in the mean score of the physiological and behavioural response between the control and experimental group after the intervention Conclusion: The study revealed that the Facilitated Tucking improves the emotional security and reduces the pain perception. The nurse or care givers can effectively implement facilitative tucking for reducing pain during vaccination in any setting as it is a very simple technique More »» |
