Background and Objectives: To assess the nurse’s knowledge regarding effects of modulating environmental stimuli on pain experience during IV Cannulation in neonates in NICUs.
To evaluate the nurse’s knowledge after nursing interventions of environmental stimuli on pain experience during IV-Cannulation in Neonates in NICUs.
METHODOLOGY: A quasi-experimental study design was conducted in Ali Fatima Hospital Lahore. The study
involved 30 participants’ female nurses who were chosen using a combination of universal and convenient sam- pling method. The date collection process involved the use of modifier Questionnaires. Questionnaires section consisted a non-randomized controlled trial with pre and post tests which aimed to assessing the knowledge of nurses and to evaluate the knowledge after nursing interventions. The intervention group (n=30) nurses received the comprehensive knowledge about pain management in Neonates in NICUs. After that, the data was analyzed using the SPSS software.
RESULTS: The sample consists of 30 participants. 56.7% (17 participants) are aged between 20-22 years. 43.3% (13 participants) are aged between 23-25 years. All participants (100%) are female, indicating a gender-specific sample. 33.3% (10 participants) hold a diploma. 66.7% (20 participants) have a degree. The significant increase in knowledge scores from pre-intervention (mean = 9.4000) to post-intervention (mean = 13.9667) indicates that the intervention (modulating environmental stimuli) effectively enhanced nurses' knowledge regarding the man- agement of pain during IV -Cannulation in neonates. The p-value (Sig. 2-tailed) is .000, indicating a statistically significant improvement.
