Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening is recommended in preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks during their hospital stay. Screening examinations causes moderate to severe pain and discomfort in preterm infants. Thus, many previous studies were to explore how to reduce the pain associated with ROP screening. Recently, pain management during ROP screening by single analgesic administration extend to combine with non-pharmacological interventions and currently still lacked of systematic review in this field. The aim of the study was to conduct a systematic review to summarize the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in reducing pain during ROP screening in preterm infants. This review focused on studies published between 1996 and 2016, Dec, and the following databases were searched: Airiti Library, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, MEDLINE, and ProQuest. Nine experimental studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for further analysis. The results showed that oral sucrose with pacifier, glucose, expressed breast milk, and multi-sensory stimulation were effective measures for pain relief during screening for ROP, but there were no benefits to vital signs, O2 saturation and crying time. These results can be used as a reference for reducing pain during ROP screening of preterm infants for clinical practice. |
