Summary
It is planned to determine the effect of music during Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) examination on pain, comfort and physiological parameters in preterm infants. This is single-center, randomized controlled trial, double blind, parallel.
- Hypotheses
H1: The music applied during the ROP examination has an effect on the Revised Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP-R) score of the preterm infant.
H2: The music applied during the ROP examination has an effect on the Preterm Infant Comfort Scale (PMI) score of the preterm infant.
H3: Music applied during the ROP examination has an effect on the physiological parameters (peak heart rate, O2 saturation) of the preterm infant.
H4: The music applied during the ROP examination has an effect on the crying time of the preterm infant during the procedure.
Method: The study will be performed with preterm infants (n=30) hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. Premature infants to be included in the study will be assigned to two study groups using the block randomization method created in the computer environment according to their gestational age, gender, birth weight.
The data in the study were will be collected using the Questionaire Form for Preterm Newborns and Their Parents, Physiological Parameters Observation Form, Revised-Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP-R), Premature Infant Comfort Scale (PICS), Pulse Oximeter, Music CD, Music box, Video camera, decibel meter, tripod. Data will be collected by researcher ABÇ. Infants who meet the criteria for inclusion in the study will be selected from the infants who are planned to an ROP examination, and written and verbal consent will be obtained from the families by explaining the purpose of the study.
Questionaire Form for Preterm Newborns and Their Parents will be obtained from the nurse observation form and patient files. Four minutes before the ROP, the infant will be monitored and physiological parameters will be recorded, and three minutes before the ROP, the experimental group will start to listen to music (Video recordings will be evaluated by three experts, PIPP-R and PICS). The music recording will continue to be played during the ROP examination for music group. No application will be made for the control group other than the clinical routines.
Description
This randomized controlled experimental study is planned in order to determine the effect of music on pain, comfort and physiological parameters in preterm infants in ROP examination matched for gestational age, gender and birth weight. The research sample will consist of 30 preterm infants who meet the inclusion criteria. In the literature, the number of infants varies between 10 and 30 in different studies in which music was applied to preterm infants. In this study, it was decided that the number of infants in the groups should be 15 according to α=95% confidence level and 90% power. In the study, it was planned to have 15 infants in the music and control groups. After reaching 30 preterm infants in the study, power analysis will be calculated using pain scores and it will be decided whether the sample size is sufficient or not. All bodies of preterm infants will be recorded with a visible video camera for an average of 12 minutes, 4 minutes before the start of the ROP examination and 4 minutes after the completion of the ROP examination (for PIPP-R and PICS scores). The infants in the music group (Acem Aşiran Maqam music prepared by TÜMATA group) will be applied music for a about total of 12 minutes, starting 3 minutes before the ROP examination and continuing during the ROP examination, 3 minutes after ROP examination. After the necessary disinfection process is done, the voice recorder will be placed in the incubator at a distance of 20 cm from the head of infant and the sound level will be adjusted to an average of 55 decibels. The examination will begin with the placement of the speculum in the eye. The duration of the examination varies according to the visibility of the retinal vascularity, and the examination will end with the removal of the speculum from the eye (mean ROP time 2.33 ±0.85). The infants in the control group will not be subjected to any intervention other than their clinical routines, only observation will be made. Data will be collected with the Questionaire Form for Preterm Newborns and Their Parents, Physiological Parameters Observation Form, Revised-Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP-R), Premature Infant Comfort Scale (PICS), Pulse Oximeter, Music CD, Music box, Video camera, decibel meter, tripod.
