Abstract (1678 Views)
Aims: Infantile colic is characterized by constant and often inconsolable crying in infants. Developing a treatment plan for pain control in infants with colic has always been a priority. This study was conducted to determine the effect of lullaby music on controlling and reducing pain and calming crying in infants with colic.
Materials and Methods: The present semi-experimental investigation was performed on infants with colic referred to a specialized pediatric clinic in Yasuj in 2021. Ninety infants eligible for the study were selected through convenience sampling and were assigned to one of two intervention groups (lullaby music) and a control group based on a block random design. Data were collected using a demographic profile form, the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability Scale for pain intensity, and the Infant Colic-Related Crying Scale for crying intensity, before and at the end of the fourth week of the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25, employing descriptive and inferential statistics with a 95% confidence interval at p<0.05.
Results: At baseline, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of crying duration, pain intensity, and crying intensity (p>0.05). However, after the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed in the mean crying intensity (p=0.025), crying duration (p=0.0001), and pain intensity (p=0.008) between the two groups.
Conclusion: Lullaby music reduces pain intensity, decreases crying intensity, reduces crying duration, and increases the duration of calmness in infants with colic.
