AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if teaching parents to use coping-promoting language during their infant's immunization could reduce pain responses.
- Parents in the intervention group were given guidelines on effective verbal support and used more coping-promoting statements than those in the control group.
- Infants whose parents used coping-promoting talk cried less during the procedure, highlighting the intervention as a simple and effective way to help reduce infant pain during vaccinations.
Article Abstract
This study was designed to investigate whether a brief intervention encouraging parental coping-promoting talk within the treatment room would have beneficial effects on infant pain responses to an immunization injection. Infant-parent dyads were recruited from a 6-month immunization clinic and randomized to an intervention group (n = 25) or standard care control group (n = 25). Parents in the intervention group received an information sheet describing adult verbalizations associated with better pain outcomes for infants. The immunization procedure was videotaped. Parents in the intervention condition made significantly more coping-promoting statements than parents in the control condition. Infants in the control condition cried significantly longer than infants in the intervention condition. Coping-promoting and distress-promoting statements did not differ in terms of affective quality. Infants whose parents had rated them as more difficult in temperament cried longer following the injection. Teaching parents to engage in coping-promoting behaviors within the infant treatment room is an effective, low-cost intervention.

Background: There is indication that the fallopian tubes might be involved in ovarian cancer pathogenesis and their removal reduces cancer risk. Hence, bilateral salpingectomy during hysterectomy or sterilization, so called opportunistic salpingectomy (OS), is gaining wide acceptance as a preventive strategy. Recently, it was discussed whether implementation of OS at other gynecologic surgery, e.
