简要总结
The aims of this randomized controlled trial are investigate the effects of breast milk odor on pain response and saliva cortisol level duration heel stick blood sampling in preterm infants. Partipants will randomly assigned into the experimental group (breast milk odor) or control group (distilled water odor). The Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) and Salimetrics® Cortisol Enzyme Immunoassay Kit are used to measuring the pain response and saliva cortisol level.
详细描述
Preterm infants need to undergo more invasive medical interventions than full-term healthy newborns to maintain their lives. Physiological functions changes brought about by pain and stress stimulations may complicate nerve development in preterm infants. Therefore, providing positive sensory supportive interventions to reduce pain and stress is imperative for preterm infants. Studies have confirmed that the use of painkillers, breastfeeding, swaddling, kangaroo care, giving glucose or sucrose can help reduce pain. The sense of smell matures at 28 weeks of gestation age, and newborns can recognize the mother's smell after birth (Nishitani et al., 2009).
In recent years, several randomized studies have explored the effects of smell on reducing pain and stress in preterm infants, but the results are still inconclusive due to the lack of randomization blinding and a variety of smell interventions. It is desirable to plan a high-quality study. Although premature infants need to be separated from their mothers in nurseries due to medical needs, breast milk is still the best source of nutrition. The aims of this study are to investigate the effect of breast milk odor on pain response and saliva cortisol level duration heel stick blood sampling in preterm infants with gestation age at 30 to 37 weeks. A Randomized Controlled Trial will be designed. Preterm infants, who will receive heel sticks, are randomly assigned into the experimental group (breast milk odor) or control group (distilled water odor). The Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) and Salimetrics® Cortisol Enzyme Immunoassay Kit are used to measuring the pain response and saliva cortisol level. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 22.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Generalized Estimating Equation linear multiple regression analysis... etc.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in pain on PIPP-R(Premature Infant Pain Profile - Revised, PIPP-R) in experimental group and control group from baseline and the time during heel stick.
时间窗: before heel stick [baseline] and during heel stick [5th minute].
PIPP-R is suitable for newborns from GA 25 to 41 weeks. The evaluation items include: two physiological indicators (heartbeat, blood oxygen), three behavioral indicators (frowning, closed eyes, facial expressions such as nasolabial folds), and two corrections factors (gestational weeks and behavioral status). Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 on four scales. The full score varies according to the gestational week: 21 points up to 28 weeks, 20 points for 28 to 31+6 weeks, 19 points for 32 to 35+6 weeks, and 18 points for over 36 weeks. A total PIPP-R score of 6 or less indicates little or no pain, a score of 6 to 12 indicates mild to moderate pain, and a score greater than 12 indicates moderate to severe pain.
Change in salivary cortisol in experimental group and control group from baseline to the time after heel stick.
时间窗: before heel stick [baseline] and 25 minutes after heel stick [30th minute, reflecting pain and stress conditions at the moment of heel stick])
Salimetrics® Cortisol Enzyme Immunoassay Kit Analytical sensitivity .Salivary cortisol samples in neonatal detection range: not detected to 3.41μg/dL.
