Abstract Description

This study was a part of a multicenter randomized control trial. The SWEpap study (Parents as pain management in Swedish neonatal care), investigates the efficacy of combined pain management with skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding and live parental lullaby singing compared with skin-to-skin contact alone and standard pain care initiated by health care professionals, during routine metabolic screening of newborn infants. The infant-parent dyads were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups. Parents in all groups expressed that it was meaningful to provide pain-relief and participate in the pain management of their newborn infant. The VAS-ratings for meaningfulness were significantly higher in the two groups with parent-delivered pain-alleviation than in the standard care group.
