    Effect of Pacifier and Pacifier With Dextrose in Reducing Pain During Orogastric Tube Insertion in Newborns: a Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Springernature, 2024) Akkaya-Gul, Aysenur; Ozyazicioglu, Nurcan; Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikler Bölümü
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of pacifier use, with and without 25% dextrose, in reducing pain during orogastric tube insertion in newborns. STUDY DESIGN: In a randomized controlled trial involving 60 newborns at a public hospital from April to December 2019,participants were divided into three groups: pacifier (n=20), pacifier with 25% dextrose (n=20), and control (n=20). A pacifier, with and without dextrose, was used for the experimental groups, while the control group performed a routine procedure. Neonatal infant pain scale, crying duration, heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were evaluated. RESULTS: Results indicated that the control group experienced significantly higher pain levels, elevated HRs, decreased SpO2, and prolonged crying. Conversely, the pacifier with 25% dextrose group showed a notable reduction in crying duration. CONCLUSION: A pacifier, with and without 25% dextrose, effectively reduces pain and improves physiological and behavioral parameters during orogastric tube insertion.

    Multisensory Stimulation by Mothers: Impact on Neonatal Pain and Maternal Anxiety During Heel Blood Collection: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Springernature, 2025) Akkaya-Gul, Aysenur; Ozyazicioglu, Nurcan; Celikboya-Kabadayi, Ezgi
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of maternal multisensory stimulation on neonatal pain and maternal state anxiety during heel blood collection in neonates. STUDY DESIGN:A randomized controlled trial was conducted from July 2019 to January 2020 in neonatal units, with 80 newborns in intervention(n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. In the intervention group, mothers provided multisensory stimulation (speech, touch, skin odor, breastfeeding, eye contact), while the control group received routine care. Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and maternal state anxiety inventory were evaluated. RESULTS:NIPS scores and maternal anxiety were significantly lower in the intervention group (p < 0.001). A positive correlation was found between NIPS and maternal anxiety in the intervention group (r = 0.372, p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Maternal multisensory stimulation reduces neonatal pain and maternal anxiety. These findings emphasize the importance of pediatric nurses considering neonatal comfort and maternal emotional well-being during medical procedure. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The protocol for this randomized controlled experimental trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. The clinical trial registration number is https://clinicaltrials.gov; NCT05606458.
