<br/> BENEFÍCIOS DAS INTERVENÇÕES NÃO FARMACOLÓGICAS EM RECÉM-NASCIDOS E LACTENTES REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA

Abstract

Introduction: Needle procedures are those to which new borns and infants are most frequently submitted. Pain control during these procedures is especially important in this vulnerable population. Objective: to identify and synthesize the benefits of non-pharmacological interventions in needle procedures in new borns and infants. Methods: followed the review methodology and quality assessment of studies of the Joanna Briggs Institute. We included studies that analyzed non-pharmacological interventions in new borns and infants in the following procedures: heel puncture, venipuncture and injectable vaccine administration. We conducted a survey of the EBSCO and PubMed databases, with the time interval between 2013 and 2017. 186 articles were identified and 14 randomized controlled trials were included in the review. Results: a reduction in the degree of pain is highlighted as a major benefit, it also checks reduction of crying time, improvement in hemodynamic parameters and decrease in irritability and stress signals. Conclusion: non-pharmacological interventions with needle procedures have notable benefits, being more effective when used in combination.
