Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of pacifiers plus touching intervention on venipuncture-induced pains in newborn babies.Methods Ninety two neonates undergoing venous puncturing were randomly divided into touching intervention group and pacifiers plus touching group.During and after the venipuncture,the neonatal pain score,heart rate and blood oxygen saturation were compared between the two groups.Results The degree of pain perception in the pacifiers plus touching group was significantly lower than that in the only touching group(P<0.001).During and afterpuncturing the heart rate of the pacifiers plus touching group was significantly lower than that in the only touching group.However,the blood oxygen saturation was significantly higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Pacifiers plus touching can effectively relieve venipuncture-induced pains in neonates.
