Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Sucrose is the chemical name for table sugar. It consist of a combination of glucose and fructose and is usually obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets. Oral sucrose is safe and effective for reducing procedural pain from a single event. Oral sucrose is a mild analgesic which is effective in decreasing short term pain and distress during minor procedures. Small amounts of oral sucrose are placed on infant’s tongue to reduce procedural pain. OBJECTIVE: Oral sucrose administration is clinically indicated for the reduction of procedural pain and distress in infants 0-18 months. METHODOLOGY: RESEARCH APPROACH: The research approach indicates the basic procedure for conducting research. In the view of the nature of the problem, to accomplish the objectives and to test hypothesis of the study, a quantitative evaluative research approach is adopted. Quasi experimental involves manipulation and control. This approach was used to evaluate the effectiveness of oral sucrose solution for infants undergoing immunization. RESEARCH DESIGN: The research design provides an overall plan for conducting the study. Quasi experimental post test only design was used for the study. SETTING OF THE STUDY: The study was conducted at Ashwin Hospital. VARIABLES: Independent variable was 24 % sucrose oral solution and the dependent variable is the pain of infants undergoing immunization. The influencing variables are demographic variables such as age of the baby, sex, weight, birth order, route of administration. POPULATION: The population of the study includes children in the age group of 45 days to 12 months who are undergoing immunization. SAMPLE SIZE: The sample size for the study includes 60 infants (30 samples for experimental group and 30 samples for control group). SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Non probability convenient sampling technique was used to select the samples from the population of the study. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF SAMPLE: Inclusive criteria: • Infants who are undergoing immunization. • Infants between 45 days-12 months. • Mothers of infants who were willing to participate in the study. Exclusive criteria: • Low birth weight or MR. • Infants who were sick. • Infants who cry more. • Lactose and sucrose intolerance baby. CONCLUSION: The administration of oral sucrose solution was effective in the reduction of pain perception among infants undergoing immunization injection. Majority 21 (70%) of infants in experimental group experienced mild pain after administering oral sucrose solution, where as majority 29 (97%) of the infants in control group had severe pain. So sucrose solution should be used as supportive therapy for reducing pain perception among infants undergoing immunization injection.
