Conditions
Interventions
Yakson Touch
Yakson Touch is a non-pharmacological tactile intervention administered to term neonates during phlebotomy to reduce procedural pain and behavioral distress. The intervention is provided during the phlebotomy procedure, with physiological parameters, pain intensity using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), and behavioral responses using the Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS) assessed before, during, and after the procedure.
Dextrose-Sweetened Pacifier
A dextrose-sweetened pacifier is provided to term neonates during phlebotomy as a non-pharmacological intervention for procedural pain management. Physiological parameters, pain intensity using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), and behavioral responses using the Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS) are assessed before, during, and after the phlebotomy procedure.
