Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of head and face touch intervention on reducing neonatal crying. Methods A total of 200 full-term newborns delivered by cesarean section in our hospital from February to June 2019 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into four groups of A, B, C and D group by random number table method, 50 cases in each group.Foot touch intervention was used in group A, chest touch intervention was used in group B, hand touch intervention was used in group C, and head and face touch intervention was used in group D.Each part was touched for 8 times, with about 10 s each time.The changes of heart rate and respiratory rate before and after intervention and the total effective rate were compared. Results After touching intervention, the heart rate and respiratory rate of neonates in group D were lower than those before the intervention, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).After touching intervention, the heart rate and respiratory rate of neonates in group D were lower than those in groups A, B and C, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the heart rate and respiratory rate of neonates in groups A, B and C after touching intervention compared with those before the intervention (P>0.05).After intervention, the total effective rate of neonatal touching in group D was higher than that in group A, B and C, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Touch intervention on the head and face can quickly and effectively reduce crying for neonates, generate a good physiological response with easy operation, so it is worthy of promotion and application.
