Lullaby and Classic Music's Effect on Vital Findings and Comfort

Selcuk University51 enrolled

Overview

In the study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels.

In the literature, there are many studies on prematurity pain and its relief. Although the vital signs and comfort levels of infants were examined in many applications for infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit, no study was found in which the cerebral oxygenation levels of infants were evaluated by NIRS by listening to lullabies and classical music to premature infants. There is no study in the literature examining cerebral oxygenation, vital signs and comfort parameters together during orogastric tube feeding, which is frequently used in preterm infants. For this reason, in this study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels. It is thought that the study will present new data to the literature and will lead many researches.

LullabyBEHAVIORAL

The mothers in this group were asked to sing a lullaby while their babies were fed with an orogastric tube. Mothers were released on lullabies. They were encouraged to sing the lullaby they knew or loved the most. The mother was given a sound decibel meter. Mothers were asked to do an application before going to the baby. It was taught that the number of sound decibels should not exceed 40 decibels while singing a lullaby. Later, the mother was taken to the baby's incubator at feeding time. She was seated in a chair. The working status of the decibel meter was checked and given to the mother. When the feeding started, the mother started singing lullabies and continued to sing until the feeding was finished. Attention was paid to aseptic techniques during all procedures. A single mother was asked to sing a lullaby at each feeding, and the baby of the mother who sang only a lullaby was included in the study.

Classic musicBEHAVIORAL

The babies in this group were given classical music recitals during feeding. The classical music piece Mozart-Baby Smart was preferred because it was seen to be used in the literature (Keidar 2014). Mozart-Baby Smart was loaded into the music player by the researcher before the feeding process. Before feeding, the decibel meter was disinfected by surface disinfectant and placed on sterile sponge in an incubator 10 cm away from the baby's head. The music player was turned on, not exceeding 40 decibels, by adjusting the decibel meter at the time of starting the feeding, and classical music was continued during the feeding. When the feeding was finished, the music player was turned off and the incubator was taken out. Attention was paid to acetic techniques during all procedures. Ambient sounds were tried to be controlled as much as possible so that the baby would not be affected by different sounds when listening to classical music.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Newborn Information Form

This form was developed by the researcher using the literature (Loewy et al 2013, Caparros-Gonzalez et al 2018, Azarmnejad et al 2015, Alipour et al 2013). The form was composed of questions including introductory information about the baby, gestational age, postnatal age, gender, birth weight (gr), weight on the day of the intervention, type of delivery, 1st and 5th min apgar score.

Time frame: First measurement - Before intervention

Regional brain oxygen saturation (rSO2) levels

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as baby's rSO2 levels were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Time frame: First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

Heart rate (minute)

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as heart rate (min) were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Time frame: First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

Oxygen saturation (%SpO2)

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as Oxygen saturation (%SpO2) were recorded.. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Time frame: First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

Body temperature (°C)

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as baby's body temperature (°C) were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Time frame: First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed
