The effect of mother’s voice on pain and physiological parameters during arterial blood sampling in children hospitalized in PICUs

Introduction: Arterial blood sampling is a painful procedure, and frequently performed in PICUs. Listening to mother's voice may be effective reducing pain during arterial children. This study was aimed determine the effect of mother’s recorded on physiological parameters children hospitalized PICUs.
 Methodology: single blind randomized clinical trial with crossover design. Fifty PICUs participated this study. The participants were selected through “sequential sampling” randomly allocated into two groups; e.g., Group AB (n = 25) BA 25). Physiological each child measured before (B) without (A) listening their mothers’ voices minimum 24 hrs interval. To measure pain, COMFORT scale used using monitoring devices connected Data analyzed SPSS version 22, repeated test, paired non-paired t-test, Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney test.
 Results: Means scores physiologic did not show significant difference intervention first second day between groups (AB-BA). results showed period (f 0.581 p 0.89) carry over 0.055, p-value 0.881) significant. Results t-test that mean score (B: 21.82 ± 5.53) (A: 22.40 4.76) significantly different (p 0.002). That is, voice, felt lower level pain. SpO2 decline less voice. Additionally, heart rate declined compared voice; still, > 0.05).
 Conclusion: alleviate use method reduce procedure even absence mother.
