摘要：PURPOSE: To verify the nutritive and non-nutritive stimuli efficacy in the newborn's response to pain during venipuncture.METHODS: The main sample was composed of 64 newborns that were randomly divided into three groups.The first group (n=20) received nutritive sucking stimulus that was performed through maternal breastfeeding.The second group (n=21) received non-nutritive sucking stimulus that was performed through the introduction of the researcher little finger in the newborn's oral cavity.The third group or control group (n=23) did not receive any analgesia stimulus.The newborns were evaluated using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale, and the responses to painful stimuli were compared.RESULTS: The nutritive as well as non-nutritive suction methods provided a comforting effect, resulting in lower pain response scores (p0.05).CONCLUSION: The nutritive and the non-nutritive sucking stimuli proved to be efficacious tools in relieving pain among newborns.
