Outcome measures
Primary outcome
As a means of observing the baby*s perceived pain the Premature Infant Pain
Profile (PIPP) will be used. The PIPP score of the first observation the will
be an indication for the pain perceived by the baby.
Secondary outcome
The time it takes for the baby to reach a PIPP score of below 5 (max score of
21) will be a measurement of self regulatory capabilities of the child.
Observation intervals of the PIPP score will be 30 sec. with a maximum of total
observation of 5 min.
Background summary
Since there is a need for effective non-pharmacological means of pain relieve
in incubator bound neonates, various studies have been undertaken to enable
parents to provide comfort to their child during their hospitalization
Study objective
The aim of this study is to see if we can enhance the effectiveness of the
nurse*s comforting capabilities through the addition of maternal scent
communication during heellance.
Study design
Observational, single factor, double blind, within subjects study
Study burden and risks
Data will be gathered by a trained nurse familiar with the PIPP scoring method.
The nurse will be present besides the nurse who will perform a procedural
heellance on the child. This means that the only burden associated with the
study is the participation of an observing nurse for a total of max. 15 min.
Furthermore only bare minimum risks are expected to be present for the baby,
since the use of *geurdoekjes* and Kangaroo Mother Care is already widely used
in the MC department.
