Effects of Combined Use of Mother’s Breast Milk, Heartbeat Sounds, and Non‐Nutritive Sucking on Preterm Infants’ Behavioral Stress During Venipuncture: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Purpose Even routine procedures can cause pain and stress, and can be harmful to the fast‐growing brain of preterm infants. Mitigating pain and stress with sucrose and analgesics has side effects; thus, an alternate choice is the use of natural breast milk and infants’ sensory capabilities. Therefor...

Summary: | Purpose
Even routine procedures can cause pain and stress, and can be harmful to the fast‐growing brain of preterm infants. Mitigating pain and stress with sucrose and analgesics has side effects; thus, an alternate choice is the use of natural breast milk and infants’ sensory capabilities. Therefore, this study examined the effects of different integrations of sensory experiences—mother’s breast milk odor and taste (BM‐OT), heartbeat sounds (HBs), and non‐nutritive sucking (NNS)—on preterm infant’s behavioral stress during venipuncture.
Design
This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial.
