Abstract
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY “A study to assess the effectiveness of breast feeding on pain responses during DPT vaccination among infants at selected hospital in Kancheepuram dt”. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To assess the pain responses of infants, within 10 minutes of DPT vaccination in experimental group and control group. To compare the effectiveness of breast feeding on pain responses of infants in experimental group with control group within 10 minutes of DPT vaccination. To determine the association between the pain responses of infants within 10 minutes of DPT vaccination with selected demographic variables of experimental group and control group. MATHODS The study was conducted at Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Science and Research centre in Kancheepuram dt. Sample consisted of 60 infants, receiving 1st dose of DPT vaccination at Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Science and Research centre in Kancheepuram dt. Sixty infants (thirty for experimental group and thirty for control group) receiving 1st dose of DPT vaccination. RESULTS Finding reveals that in experimental group the infants overall post test mean scores was 6.5 with S. D ± 2 and the overall post test mean scores of infants in control group were 14.5 with SD ± 1.60. The calculated unpaired ‘t’ test value of overall post test mean scores among experimental and control group is 17.39, which was less than the critical value at 0.05% level of significance, indicated that there was a significant difference in the levels of pain responses of infants in experimental group and control group Hence the research hypothesis H1 is accepted.
