Perception, Evaluation and Management of Pain in the Newborn
Journal Title: Düzce Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Newborn babies encounter many painful interventions the moment they open their eyes to life. In babies who have begun to live in the newborn intensive care unit, it is inconceivable to meet with painful procedures. Behavioral and neurological problems may arise in infants if the pain is not treated effectively in this period. İt is necessary and important for all health team members to have knowledge, skills and experience in assessing the pain condition of newborns and in pain management for the newborn care. They express the pain they experience by demonstrating physiological, behavioral, hormonal and metabolic changes. The degree of pain can be assessed by pain scoring methods based on observation and interpretation of these changes. Assessment of pain response using appropriate pain scale guides treatment. The pain has two forms of treatment impending pharmacological and non-pharmacological. These methods can be used together or individually. However, the most important part of the treatment is the reduction and removal of painful stimuli as much as possible. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness of the presence of newborns’ pain sensation and treatment needs in health care team members taking part in neonatal care and to explain the methods to be used for effective pain therapy in the direction of current literature.
