dc.description.abstractObjective • This study investigates the effects of white noise and Brahms’ lullaby in managing pain in infants who were administered with intravenous blood draws in a pediatric blood-sampling unit. Design • This study was an experimental, randomized controlled trial. Setting • This study was conducted on 0–12-month-old infants admitted to a pediatric blood-sampling unit of a university hospital in Turkey between July and October 2019. Participants • The sample comprised 59 infants 0–12 months of age. The infants were randomly assigned to three groups: (a) white noise, (b) Brahms’ lullaby, and (c) control. Outcome measures • We evaluated the pain of the infants according to the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS). We measured their pain and crying time before, during, and after the procedure. Results • The means of the NIPS scores of the infants in the white noise and Brahms’ lullaby groups were lower than that of the control group before, during, and after the procedure. The means of the NIPS scores of the infants in the white noise and Brahms’ lullaby groups were significantly lower than that of the control group during and after the procedure (P <.05). The crying time of the infants in the white noise and Brahms’ lullaby groups were significantly lower than that of the control group after the procedure (P <.05). Conclusion • The white noise and Brahms’ lullaby used during the intravenous blood draw procedure reduced the pain of infants. © 2023, InnoVision Communications. All rights reserved.
