Effect of Swaddling and Inhaling Breast Milk Odour on the Pain and Comfort
Condition: Infant, Newborn; Pain Perception
MeSH terms: Respiratory Aspiration
Study type: Observational

Summary: 
      This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted to determine the effect of
      swaddling and inhaling mother's breast milk odour on the pain and comfort during the
      placement of peripheral intravenous catheter in term infants.The population of the study
      consisted of term infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of Karadeniz
      Ereğli State Hospital between 1st October 2020 and 1st October 2021. According to the G-Power
      analysis, the sample size was calculated as 120 and term infants were equally assigned to
      three experimental groups and a control group, each of which consisted of 30 infants. During
      the placement of peripheral intravenous catheter, the infants in the 1st experimental group
      were swaddled, the infants in the 2ndexperimentalgroup were made to inhale the mother's
      breast milk odour, the infants in the 3rd experimental group were both swaddled and made to
      inhale the mother's breast milk odour and no procedure was applied to the infants in the
      control group. The pain and comfort levels of infants in the experimental and control groups
      were assessed before, during and after the placement of peripheral intravenous catheter.
      "Infant Descriptive Information Form", "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)" and "Neonatal
      Comfort Behaviour Scale (NCBS) were used to collect data.
