Summary

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of nasal injury prevention interventions (NIPI) (hydrocolloid tape and facial massage) on nasal septum injury, stress and comfort of premature neonates (28-35 weeks gestation) receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) support.

Conditions

  • Nasal Injury

Interventions

OTHER

Hydrocolloid barrier group

In the hydrocolloid barrier group, Comfeel Plus brand hydrocolloid tape will be used. Hydrocolloid tape is a dressing cover made of soft, flexible and economic material in the form of a semi-permeable film or foam-supported gel. Air exchange continues due to the semipermeable film on the top, while entry of harmful microorganisms to the region is prevented, healing is accelerated by creating a humid environment for the wound and exudate from the wound is absorbed. These features reduce the risk of developing infection and ensure patient comfort. There is no specific change time, though generally the tape is changed every 3-5 days; however, it may remain in place for up to 7 days.

OTHER

Facial Massage group

Premature infants in the facial massage group will have facial massage applied by the researcher. For facial massage, physiological serum used for routine moisturizing in the clinic will be used. When performing facial massage, the fingers will be placed in the middle of the infant's forehead and massage will be performed towards the temples. The eyelids will be lightly rubbed toward the temples. Both thumbs will be placed in the center of the eyebrows and the ridge of the nose will be rubbed toward the lips. The sides of the nose will be rubbed with light pressure. The nasal septum will be rubbed toward the tip of the nose along the philtrum. The fingers will be placed on the philtrum region above the gums and the mouth will be rubbed toward the ears to make a smiling expression. The chin will be lightly massaged toward the back of the ears. The thumbs of both hands will rub from under the infant's chin toward the temples to give make a smiling face (smiling motion).
