Abstract

This evidenced-based practice project sought to provide evidence to change a hospital policy on addressing pain during painful procedures on newborns with the use of nonpharmacological interventions. A literature search was conducted on three databases: PubMed, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Cochrane. Twelve pieces of literature were included: nine randomized control trials, one systemic review, one meta-analysis, and one correlational study. The literature reviewed showed a strong positive correlation between using nonpharmacological interventions and lower pain scores of newborns during painful procedures.
