Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of sensory saturation therapy nursing on alleviating medical operational pain in children in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU).Methods Totally 104 NICU children treated between July 2022 to July 2023 were selected,and divided into an observation group(n=52)and a control group(n=52),according to a random number table.Both groups were given routine nursing,while the observation group were additionally provided with sensory saturation therapy nursing.The pain scores,as well as physiological indicators were compared between the two groups.Results The pain scores of the observation group during and five minutes after the operation were significantly lower than that of the control group(t=11.421,P＜0.001;t=25.490,P＜0.001),while the heart rate,respiration,and blood oxygen saturation were all superior to the control group(t=8.471,P＜0.001;t=2.590,P=0.011;t=12.120,P＜0.001).Conclusion Sensory saturation therapy nursing can effectively alleviate medical operational pain of NICU children and improve their physiological indicators.
