Summary

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of grasping reflex stimulation applied during peripheral intravenous central catheter (PIC) intervention on pain and stress in preterm infants receiving treatment and care in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Detailed description

The study was planned in a parallel randomized controlled trial design. The population of the research will be preterm infants followed in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit of Atatürk University Health Research and Application Center between May 2022 and September 2022. Randomization in the sample of the study will be done in the computer environment. Sample size was determined by power analysis. In the collection of data; Preterm Baby Information Form, Preterm Baby Follow-up Form, Neonatal Stress Scale and ALPS-NEO pain and stress assessment scale will be used. In the control group, the PIC intervention will be performed by the investigator in accordance with clinical procedures. In the experimental group, the baby's grasping reflex stimulation will be provided during the PIC attempt.
