Background
During the stay of a premature newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
(NICU), is exposed to multiple therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, such as
capillary heel-lance blood sampling, which causes pain, discomfort and
consequently, physiological alterations. Nowadays there are many non-
pharmacological analgesia measures that can avoid neonate’s malaise and
where the nurse has an important role to play. However, scientific evidence
affirms due to a lack of knowledge of the collective, many preterm neonates do
not receive the necessary analgesia during the procedure, causing hemodynamic
destabilisation among other effects.
A correct handling of neonatal pain will provide a better development and health
status for early infants in NICU.
Objective
Evaluate the non-pharmacological measures applied by nursing staff and its
effectiveness in the pain management of premature infant in heel-lance blood
sampling
Methodology
Quantitative, observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study that would
develop during the month of January until November 2021. The study sample is
not probabilistic and convenient of the nurses from the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit of the Doctor Josep Trueta University Hospital in Girona.
A data collection grid will collect variables related to personal nursing data, the
technique it performs, the measures it applies and newborn personal data. To
assess the level of pain of the newborn before and after the heel-lance, will be
used the PIPP assessment scale.
Finally, the SPSS statistical software program will be used to perform statistical
analysis of the variables and study whether they are statistically significant in
9
order to draw conclusions with the aim of improving the assisting practice of the
nursing team in dealing with preterm infants’ pain
