Summary

The present study was planned to evaluate the pain of 4-6 weeks infants felt during removal of the adhesive products from newborn's skin used in the fixation of nasogastric tube in neonatal and infant units. The hypothesis of the study is "Water-based barrier tape is more effective to reduce pain than hydrocolloid barrier tape.

Conditions

  • Pain, Acute

Interventions

DEVICE

Water-based barrier tape

The infants in experiment 1 group will be applied water-based barrier tape. The area will be covered by water-based barrier tape to fix nasogastric tube and after waiting 1 minute for drying up it will be fastened by silk tape used in clinic. The silk tape will be 5 cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the water-based barrier tape, the pain felt by the infants evaluated through "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" and the score recorded in the chart. This procedure actualized 3 min. before procedure, during and 3 min after procedure.

DEVICE

Hydrocolloid barrier tape

As for experiment 2 group, hydrocolloid barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube. The hydrocolloid barrier tape, which was cut and shaped appropriately beforehand, will be applied to the area in order to stabilize the nasogastric tube and the tube will be stabilized with silk tape used in clinic. The silk tape will be 5 cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the hydrocolloid barrier tape, the pain felt by the infants evaluated with "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" and the score recorded in the chart. Since the hydrocolloid barrier tape can stay on the skin for 7 days and the assessment of the pain realized in 7th day and noted down to the chart. Pain score evaluated in 7th day 3 min. before procedure, during and 3 min after procedure

DEVICE

Silk tape

The silk tape used in clinic routinely will be used for control group infants to fix the nasogastric tube without any barrier. The silk tape will be 5cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the silk tape, the pain felt by the infants evaluated through "Neonatal Infant Pain Scale" and the score recorded in the chart. This procedure actualized 3 min. before procedure, during and 3 min after procedure
