Summary

High-risk neonates are forced to be separated from their parents due to hospitalization, and clinical medical treatment often causes pain and physical stress in high-risk newborns. Many literatures have confirmed that the mother's voice is positively helpful to the physiology of high-risk newborns, but few studies have been conducted on the father's voice. However, the parenting process is not only a link between the mother-child relationship, but also the impact of parental voice on high-risk newborns infants. Parent roles are expecting. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of parental voice intervention in high-risk newborns' heel puncture in reducing pain, and to further compare the mother and father's voice characteristics to the analysis of the pain degree of high-risk newborns.

Detailed description

This study is a kind of experimental research design. The subjects are 105 infants with gestational weeks of more than 32 weeks. Randomly allocated are divided into one group of 35 in control group and 35 in each experimental group. On the third day after the birth of the high-risk newborns infant, the heel puncture times is lasted three minutes before the heel puncture to ten minutes after the puncture. The control groups only received general routine care, while the two parental experimental groups received the intervention that recording of parents voice of reading children's book. In the three groups, the pain of high-risk newborns was measured with the Heartbeat, Respiration and Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) in three minutes before the heel puncture, during the puncture, and the first, fifth and tenth minutes after the puncture. It is hoped that the results of this study can help high-risk newborns to reduce pain with non-drug measures, and understand the influence of different voice characteristics on the development of infants, so as to provide future care personnel assisting parental role expectation and reference of clinical care.
