Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral glucose on pain response among infants during invasive procedure, paediatric outpatient department, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: Conceptual framework on modified general system theory by Ludwig Von Bertanffy. DESIGN: This study employed Quasi experimental design. SETTING OF THE STUDY: The study was conducted at paediatric outpatient department, Institute of Child Health and Research Centre, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. SUBJECTS: A total of 60 subjects were included in the study (30 in experimental group and 30 in control group). Subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique. INTERVENTION: Children in the experimental group were administered oral glucose (25% dextrose) of 1 ml was administered with dropper 2 seconds prior to the invasive procedure. . Nothing was given for the children in control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Investigator assessed the level of pain with CRIES pain scale (Cry, Requirement of oxygen, Increase in Vital Signs, Expression of face, Sleeplessness). FINDINGS: The overall mean score of experimental and control group during invasive procedures. The control group mean (7.63) is higher than the experimental group mean (4.26) of the infants. The obtained „t‟ value is 15.9, significant at p < 0.005 level. This shows that experimental group experienced less pain than control group. Hence, administration of oral glucose had effect on reducing the pain during invasive procedures. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that oral glucose had effect on reducing the pain for infants during invasive procedures. This non-pharmacological pain reducing technique is highly recommended because it is effective, easy to carry out.
