简要总结
This is a randomized double-blind controlled study and was performed to compare effects of rapid injection without aspiration and 10-second manual pressure before injection on pain severity and crying time in 4-6-month-old infants given the vaccine DTaP/IPV/Hib.
The study population included all the infants presenting for DTaP/IPV/Hib to two family health centers between April and August in 2015. The study sample included 128 infants based on confidence interval of 95% and statistical power of 80%. The sample was divided into four groups; i.e. manual pressure, rapid injection without aspiration, manual pressure combined with rapid injection without aspiration and control groups. There were 32 infants in each group. Gender was adjusted in all groups. Stratified and block randomizations were used.
详细描述
Study design: this is an experimental, double-blind, randomized controlled trial.
Study population and study sample: The study was conducted in two family health centers of Cankiri Public Health Directorate, Turkey, between April and August in 2015. The study population included infants aged 4-6 months and presenting to the family health centers for the second and third doses of DTaP/IPV/Hib. The study sample comprised of 128 infants based on confidence interval of 95% and statistical power of 80%. Analysis made at the end of the study showed a statistical power of 0.83 based on confidence interval of 95%.
Outcome Measures
Pain severity: Video recordings obtained were evaluated by two pain specialists separately by using Neonatal Infant Pain Scale. The specialists were blinded to the groups to eliminate possible mistakes in observations and the possibility of taking sides and to avoid bias. The scores assigned by the specialists were used to determine pain scores before, during and after vaccine injections.
Crying time: Video recordings taken were watched by the same researcher and crying time before, during and after vaccine injections was calculated for each infant.

结局指标
主要结局
Crying time
时间窗: 6 MONTHS
Video recordings taken were watched by the same researcher and crying time (sec) before, during and after vaccine injections was calculated for each infant. When the opportunity to observe the baby again during the data collection and it was observed that no adverse effects. Therefore study has been completed with the same 128 babies.
Physiological Changes (heart rate and oxygen saturation)
时间窗: 6 MONTHS
the probe of pulse oximetry was attached to the foot not injected vaccine to measure oxygen saturation (%) and heart rate (min) before, during and after the injections in each child. When the opportunity to observe the baby again during the data collection and it was observed that no adverse effects. Therefore study has been completed with the same 128 babies.
Pain severity
时间窗: 6 MONTHS
Video recordings obtained were evaluated by two pain specialists separately by using NIPS. The specialists were blinded to the groups to eliminate possible mistakes in observations and the possibility of taking sides and to avoid bias. The scores assigned by the specialists were used to determine pain scores before, during and after vaccine injections. Pain severity, were expressed as the average score NIPS. When the opportunity to observe the baby again during the data collection and it was observed that no adverse effects. Therefore study has been completed with the same 128 babies.
