    The aim of this study was to compare nursing students experiencing simulations (SIM group) (n=25) versus clinical placement (CPG) (n=55) in perinatal care. Questionnaires on satisfaction, self-confidence and perceived support were completed by both groups. Knowledge acquisition was assessed using standardized course evaluation. The Student’s t-test showed that differences between groups were not statistically significant for knowledge acquisition and satisfaction, while they were statistically significant for self-confidence and perceived support with higher scores in the CPG group. This study contributes to knowledge development since few have compared simulations as a learning method to replace totally clinical placement. Findings support the simulations as an appropriate method for students’ knowledge acquisition and satisfaction in a perinatal care course, but more studies are needed for generalization. RĂ©sumĂ© L’objectif de cette Ă©tude Ă©tait de comparer les expĂ©riences d’étudiantes en sciences infirmiĂšres ayant terminĂ© des activitĂ©s de simulation (groupe SIM) (n=25) avec celles d’étudiantes ayant effectuĂ© un stage en milieu clinique (groupe CPG) (n = 55). Les expĂ©riences des deux groupes Ă©taient en soins pĂ©rinataux. Des questionnaires sur la satisfaction, la confiance en soi et le soutien perçu ont Ă©tĂ© remplis par les deux groupes. L’acquisition des connaissances a Ă©tĂ© mesurĂ©e Ă  l’aide des modes standardisĂ©s d’évaluation dans le cadre du cours. Le test-t de Student a montrĂ© que les diffĂ©rences entre les groupes n’étaient pas statistiquement significatives pour l’acquisition de connaissances ni la satisfaction, alors qu’elles l’étaient pour la confiance en soi et le soutien perçu avec des scores plus Ă©levĂ©s dans le groupe CPG. Cette Ă©tude contribue au corps de connaissances puisque peu ont comparĂ© les activitĂ©s de simulation comme mĂ©thode d’apprentissage pour entiĂšrement remplacer le stage en milieu clinique. Les rĂ©sultats appuient les activitĂ©s de simulation comme une mĂ©thode appropriĂ©e pour l’acquisition de connaissances et la satisfaction des Ă©tudiantes dans un cours de soins pĂ©rinataux, mais d’autres Ă©tudes sont nĂ©cessaires avant la gĂ©nĂ©ralisation

    Introduction: Sensitive mother-infant interactions are important predictors of long-term mother-infant relationship and infant development. Considering preterm infants’ immaturity, mother-infant interactions and maternal sensitivity may not develop optimally. A systematic review showed that current evidence on the effectiveness of parent-infant interventions promoting parental sensitivity in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is of low to very low quality. Objective: The objective of this paper is to report the development process of a novel nursing intervention, using a theory and evidence-based approach, to enhance maternal sensitivity and preterm infant neurodevelopment in the NICU. Methods: The Medical Research Council’s guidance to develop and evaluate complex health interventions, that is an evidence and theory-based approach, was used for this study. Thus, based on the MRC framework, three main steps were conducted: 1- Identifying existing empirical evidence; 2- Identifying and developing theory; 3- Modeling processes and outcomes. Results: We developed a guided participation intervention for mothers to participate in their preterm infant’s care and positioning (‘GP_Posit’). ‘GP_Posit’ is based upon the Attachment theory, the Guided Participation theory as well as the Synactive theory of development. Conclusion: This novel intervention is being tested in a pilot randomized controlled trial (NCT03677752).Introduction : La relation mĂšre-enfant, dont les interactions empreintes de sensibilitĂ© maternelle en sont l’un des principaux prĂ©dicteurs, figure parmi les facteurs pouvant amĂ©liorer le dĂ©veloppement des nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s. En raison de l’immaturitĂ© des nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s, les interactions mĂšre-enfant prĂ©coces et la sensibilitĂ© maternelle sont Ă  risque de se dĂ©velopper de façon sous-optimale. Les rĂ©sultats d’une revue systĂ©matique ont montrĂ© que les donnĂ©es actuelles sur l’efficacitĂ© des interventions parent-enfant favorisant la sensibilitĂ© parentale dĂšs l’hospitalisation Ă  l’unitĂ© de soins intensifs nĂ©onatals (USIN) sont de qualitĂ© faible Ă  trĂšs faible. Objectif : L’objectif de cet article est de rapporter le processus de dĂ©veloppement d’une nouvelle intervention infirmiĂšre, en utilisant une approche basĂ©e sur la thĂ©orie et les donnĂ©es empiriques, pour amĂ©liorer la sensibilitĂ© maternelle et le dĂ©veloppement neurologique des nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s Ă  l’USIN. MĂ©thodes : Les lignes directrices du Medical Research Council pour le dĂ©veloppement et l’évaluation d’interventions complexes en santĂ© ont Ă©tĂ© suivies. Ainsi, trois principales Ă©tapes ont Ă©tĂ© suivies : 1- Identification des preuves empiriques existantes ; 2- Identification et dĂ©veloppement thĂ©orique ; 3- ModĂ©lisation des processus et des rĂ©sultats. RĂ©sultats : Nous avons dĂ©veloppĂ© une intervention de participation guidĂ©e pour que les mĂšres participent aux soins et au positionnement de leur nouveau-nĂ© prĂ©maturĂ© (‘GP_Posit’). ‘GP_Posit’ est basĂ©e sur la thĂ©orie de l’attachement, la thĂ©orie de la participation guidĂ©e ainsi que la thĂ©orie synactive du dĂ©veloppement. Conclusion : Cette intervention est mise Ă  l’essai dans un essai contrĂŽlĂ© randomisĂ© pilote (NCT03677752)

    Introduction : Les prĂ©maturĂ©s subissent de nombreuses procĂ©dures douloureuses essentielles Ă  leur survie, mais pouvant nuire Ă  leur dĂ©veloppement si elles ne sont pas soulagĂ©es adĂ©quatement. Cette Ă©tude visait Ă  Ă©valuer les perceptions des infirmiĂšres quant Ă  la douleur des prĂ©maturĂ©s, leurs pratiques d’évaluation et de gestion de la douleur, ainsi qu’à identifier les facteurs individuels et contextuels influençant leurs pratiques. MĂ©thode : Des analyses secondaires ont Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ©es Ă  partir des donnĂ©es recueillies dans le cadre d’une Ă©tude transversale comparative entre le Canada et la France. Un total de 202 infirmiĂšres a Ă©tĂ© recrutĂ© dans 4 unitĂ©s nĂ©onatales. Le questionnaire Nurses' Attitudes and Perceptions of Pain Assessment (NAPPAQ-FIPM) a Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ© pour collecter les donnĂ©es. Un modĂšle mixte a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© pour les analyses. RĂ©sultats : Les infirmiĂšres ont des attitudes et des perceptions en faveur du soulagement de la douleur des prĂ©maturĂ©s. Elles ont prĂ©cisĂ© utiliser principalement des indices comportementaux pour l’évaluation de la douleur des prĂ©maturĂ©s et peu d’instruments normalisĂ©s. Les infirmiĂšres ont Ă©noncĂ© utiliser frĂ©quemment le sucrose, la succion non nutritive et le positionnement comme interventions de soulagement de la douleur, tandis que le contact peau Ă  peau, une intervention efficace, Ă©tait rarement pratiquĂ©e. Les pratiques d’évaluation et de soulagement de la douleur des infirmiĂšres sont significativement influencĂ©es par plusieurs facteurs contextuels (pays, niveau de soins, quart de travail) et individuels (Ăąge, niveau d’éducation, prĂ©sence d’un enfant prĂ©maturĂ©, perception des soins centrĂ©s sur la famille et du contact peau Ă  peau). Discussion et conclusion : Des guides pratiques intĂ©grant l’évaluation de la douleur seraient souhaitables ainsi que le dĂ©veloppement d’interventions favorisant l’implantation de mĂ©thodes de soulagement de la douleur moins pratiquĂ©es tel le contact peau Ă  peau.Introduction : Les prĂ©maturĂ©s subissent de nombreuses procĂ©dures douloureuses essentielles Ă  leur survie, mais pouvant nuire Ă  leur dĂ©veloppement si elles ne sont pas soulagĂ©es adĂ©quatement.

    BACKGROUND: Skin-to-skin contact, or kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been shown to be efficacious in diminishing pain response to heel lance in full term and moderately preterm neonates. The purpose of this study was to determine if KMC would also be efficacious in very preterm neonates. METHODS: Preterm neonates (n = 61) between 28 0/7 and 31 6/7 weeks gestational age in three Level III NICU's in Canada comprised the sample. A single-blind randomized crossover design was employed. In the experimental condition, the infant was held in KMC for 15 minutes prior to and throughout heel lance procedure. In the control condition, the infant was in prone position swaddled in a blanket in the incubator. The primary outcome was the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), which is comprised of three facial actions, maximum heart rate, minimum oxygen saturation levels from baseline in 30-second blocks from heel lance. The secondary outcome was time to recover, defined as heart rate return to baseline. Continuous video, heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring were recorded with event markers during the procedure and were subsequently analyzed. Repeated measures analysis-of-variance was employed to generate results. RESULTS: PIPP scores at 90 seconds post lance were significantly lower in the KMC condition (8.871 (95%CI 7.852-9.889) versus 10.677 (95%CI 9.563-11.792) p < .001) and non-significant mean differences ranging from 1.2 to1.8. favoring KMC condition at 30, 60 and 120 seconds. Time to recovery was significantly shorter, by a minute(123 seconds (95%CI 103-142) versus 193 seconds (95%CI 158-227). Facial actions were highly significantly lower across all points in time reaching a two-fold difference by 120 seconds post-lance and heart rate was significantly lower across the first 90 seconds in the KMC condition. CONCLUSION: Very preterm neonates appear to have endogenous mechanisms elicited through skin-to-skin maternal contact that decrease pain response, but not as powerfully as in older preterm neonates. The shorter recovery time in KMC is clinically important in helping maintain homeostasis. TRIAL REGISTRATION: (Current Controlled Trials) ISRCTN63551708

    Olfactive stimulation interventions for managing procedural pain in preterm and full-term neonates: a systematic review protocol

    No full text
    Abstract Background While hospitalized in the NICU, preterm neonates undergo many painful procedures. This may be the same for full-term neonates when longer hospitalization is required. Untreated and repeated pain has short-term as well as long-term consequences for these neonates. Pharmacological pain management methods have many limitations in their applications for both preterm and full-term neonates. A combination of different non-pharmacological methods is recommended for pain management. The effect of olfactive stimulation as a non-pharmacological pain management method was investigated by a few studies in the past years with premature and term neonates, but no systematic review has been conducted. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effect of olfactive stimulation intervention on the pain response of preterm and full-term neonates during painful procedures. Methods An electronic search will be conducted in various databases such as PubMed (1946 to date), MEDLINE (1946 to date), CINAHL (1981 to date), Embase (1947 to date), PsycINFO (1806 to date), Web of Science (1945 to date), CENTRAL and Scopus (1960 to date), and Proquest, without restriction for the year of publication. Only studies published in English or French will be included. The search will be conducted using the following three concepts: pain, odors, and neonates. Selection of articles, data extraction, and assessment of risk of bias will be conducted by two independent researchers. A third researcher will intervene in case of disagreement. According to the availability of studies and data homogeneity, the results will be combined to perform a meta-analysis, or they will be described by a narrative synthesis. Discussion This systematic review will provide light on the current state of knowledge on the effectiveness of olfactive stimulation interventions for managing pain in preterm and full-term neonates. This review will guide clinical practice as well as research to improve preterm and full-term neonates’ pain management and prevent short-term and long-term complications caused by pain.

    Management of procedural pain in preterm infants through olfactive stimulation with mothers’ milk: A pilot study

    No full text
    Introduction: Repeated and untreated pain can lead to long-term consequences in preterm infants, such as pain hypersensitivity and impaired motor and intellectual development. Studies on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for pain management in preterm infants are limited. Thus, we piloted an intervention based on olfactive stimulation with mothers’ milk. Objective: To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an olfactive stimulation intervention with mothers’ milk for procedural pain in preterm infants. Methods: A pilot study was conducted with mothers, nurses, and preterm infants. Twelve preterm infants were familiarized to the odor of their mother’s milk 9 hours before heel prick. During heel prick, mothers’ milk odor was combined with standard care by placing a pad saturated with mothers’ milk beneath the infant’s nose. Pain was measured using Preterm Infant Pain Profile-Revised tool. Mothers (n=11) and nurses (n=20) completed questionnaires regarding feasibility and acceptability. Results: More than 80% of mothers and nurses reported that the olfactive stimulation intervention was feasible and acceptable. Time taken for preterm infants’ heart rate and oxygen saturation to return to the baseline was reduced and pain scores were lower when the mothers’ milk pad was placed at 1 millimeter(mm) of the infant’s nose. Discussion and conclusion: The olfactive stimulation intervention is feasible and acceptable for nurses and mothers. The observed preliminary effects suggest that a pad saturated in mother’s milk placed 1 mm from the preterm infants’ nose could reduce the pain response. A randomized clinical trial should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of this intervention.Introduction : La douleur rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©e et non traitĂ©e peut entraĂźner des consĂ©quences Ă  long terme chez les nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s, comme une hypersensibilitĂ© Ă  la douleur, une altĂ©ration des dĂ©veloppements moteur et intellectuel. Les interventions pharmacologiques et non pharmacologiques pour le soulagement de la douleur chez les nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s sont limitĂ©es. Objectif : Évaluer la faisabilitĂ©, l’acceptabilitĂ© et les effets prĂ©liminaires d’une intervention de stimulation olfactive avec du lait maternel pour la douleur procĂ©durale des prĂ©maturĂ©s. MĂ©thodes : Une Ă©tude pilote a Ă©tĂ© menĂ©e auprĂšs de mĂšres, d’infirmiĂšres et de nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s. Douze nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s ont Ă©tĂ© familiarisĂ©s avec l’odeur du lait de leur mĂšre durant 9 heures. Pendant le prĂ©lĂšvement sanguin au talon, l’odeur du lait maternel Ă©tait combinĂ©e avec les soins standards. La douleur a Ă©tĂ© mesurĂ©e Ă  l’aide de l’outil Preterm Infant Pain Profile-Revised. Les mĂšres (n=11) et les infirmiĂšres (n=20) ont rempli des questionnaires d’acceptabilitĂ© et de faisabilitĂ©. RĂ©sultats : Plus de 80% des mĂšres et des infirmiĂšres ont dĂ©clarĂ© que l’intervention Ă©tait faisable et acceptable. Le temps nĂ©cessaire pour que le rythme cardiaque et la saturation en oxygĂšne des nouveau-nĂ©s prĂ©maturĂ©s reviennent Ă  la normale a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©duit et les scores de douleur Ă©taient plus faibles lorsque la compresse imbibĂ©e de lait maternel Ă©tait placĂ©e Ă  1 millimĂštre (mm) du nez du nouveau-nĂ©. Discussion et conclusion : L’intervention de stimulation olfactive est faisable et acceptable pour les infirmiĂšres et les mĂšres. Les effets prĂ©liminaires suggĂšrent qu’une compresse imbibĂ©e de lait maternel placĂ©e Ă  1 mm du nez du nouveau-nĂ© prĂ©maturĂ© rĂ©duirait sa douleur. Un essai clinique randomisĂ© devrait ĂȘtre menĂ© pour Ă©valuer l’efficacitĂ© de cette intervention

    Effectiveness of interventions during NICU hospitalization on the neurodevelopment of preterm infants: a systematic review protocol

    No full text
    Abstract Background Previous systematic reviews have examined preterm infants’ long-term neurodevelopment after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge, although none have explored the effectiveness of interventions on preterm infants’ neurodevelopment during NICU hospitalization. The aim of this review is to evaluate whether interventions, i.e., sensory stimulation, parental involvement, and control of environment, improve preterm infants’ neurodevelopment during their NICU hospitalization. Methods Experimental studies such as randomized controlled/clinical trials (RCTs) and cluster RCT will be included in this systematic review. Selected studies will be published in English or in French, in the past 15 years from 2002 to 2017. The following electronic databases will be searched to locate relevant studies: CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE (OVID), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Web of Science. For all steps in selecting studies, agreement will be reached between two experts in neonatology. Data extraction will be performed independently by the two same experts and will then be compared. The Cochrane assessment tool will be used to screen the studies for risk of bias. A meta-analysis will be performed if the included studies are sufficiently homogeneous. Results will be analyzed using a standardized mean difference (with a 95% confidence interval). Statistical heterogeneity will be evaluated using the χ 2 test at the significance level of 0.1 and the I 2 with the classification suggested by PRISMA-P. If possible, subgroup analyses will be carried out considering preterm infants’ gestational age, length of NICU hospitalization, and the characteristics of the intervention such as who delivered it, the type, the dose, the frequency, and the duration. Data synthesis will be performed using the RevMan 5.1 software. Publication bias and selection of variables in publication will be examined using the graphical method of funnel plot and with the statistical test of Egger. Quality of the evidence of all outcomes will be assessed using the Grades of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group. Discussion The results of this systematic review will highlight which interventions are effective for promoting preterm infants’ neurodevelopment during NICU hospitalization and will contribute to the body of knowledge in neonatal care by providing guidance for NICU clinical practice and research.
