Abstract Pain will affects the physiological and behavioural reactions in infants. It may cause permanent structural and functional changes in infants. Due to pain, infants experience acute measurable, physiologic, behavioural, metabolic and hormonal response to pain. This leads to long term negative effects on neurologic and behavioural evelopment of the child.
METHODS
True experimental post-test only control group design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted at Mettupalayam, Health and Wellness Centre, Puducherry. Study participants were infants aged between 6-20 weeks. 80 infants was selected by using consecutive sampling technique and computer generated randomization and divided into experimental and control group. Percussion toy – sound producing drum (a musical instruments that makes a sound) shown to the children of experimental group, 30 seconds before vaccination, during and 15 seconds after vaccination. Vaccination for control group with routine care (conventional intervention). The post-test data was collected by using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) in experimental and control group.
RESULT
The study results revealed that 70% mild and 30% moderate pain in experimental group, 60% moderate and 40% severe pain in control group among infants receiving vaccination. The study showed that the difference in the level of pain perception was statistically significant at p<0.05 level. This states that there is a significant difference between post-test level of pain perception among infants receiving vaccination in experimental and control group.
CONCLUSION
The study was done to assess the effect of percussion toys on level of pain perception among infants receiving vaccination at selected Health and Wellness Centre, Puducherry. Consecutive sampling technique and computer generated randomization was used to select the sample. The data was collected among 80 infants undergoing vaccination. Collected data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The study findings revealed there was statistical significant difference in post-test level of pain perception among experimental and control group (p<0.001).
Hence it was concluded that the percussion toy reduces the level of pain perception among infants receiving vaccination.
