Abstract: | Objective To analyze the effect of white noise intervention in neonatal peripheral venipuncture pain. Methods A total of 135 hospitalized neonates from September 2022 to November 2022 in the Pediatric Newborn Intensive Care Unit of a hospital in Yunnan Province were included. They were randomly divided into a white noise group, a classical music group and a control group, with 45 cases in each group according to a random number table. White noise and classical music were played during peripheral venipuncture, while the control group was treated with routine tapping and pacifying intervention. Neonatal pain assessment score, heart rate, crying time and other outcome indicators were compared among the three groups. Results Compared with the control group, the pain scores at the time of peripheral venipuncture and 30 s, 60 s, 90 s and 120 s after venipuncture in the white noise group and the classical music group were significantly reduced and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The pain scores at the time of peripheral venipuncture, 60 s and 90 s after puncture in the white noise group were lower than those in the classical music group (P < 0.05). The heart rates at 30 s, 60 s, 90 s and 120 s after peripheral venipuncture in the white noise group and the classical music group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The heart rates of 30 s, 60 s and 90 s after peripheral venipuncture in the white noise group were lower than those in the classical music group (P < 0.05). The neonatal crying time during peripheral vein puncture in the white noise group and the classical music group was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The neonatal crying time during peripheral venipuncture in the white noise group was shorter than that in the classical music group (P < 0.05). Conclusion White noise can effectively relieve pain and shorten crying time in neonatal peripheral venous puncture, and it is recommended to be applied to neonatal pain management. |
