| Primary study design | Interventional |
|---|---|
| Study design | Randomised cross-over design |
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | Maternal comfort, analgesia, regulation, endorphin-release: mothercare, a program of research for pain in critically ill infants and toddlers |
| Study acronym | MotherCARE |
| Study objectives | Preterm infants less than 32 weeks post-menstrual age (pma) will have greater physiologic stability and decreased salivary cortisol response to heel stick procedure during skin-skin contact than prone in isolette. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved by McGill University Health Centre (full board review) on 20th November 2003 (ref: MCH003-48) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Physiologic stability in preterm infants |
| Intervention | Skin-to-skin contact: the diaper-clad infant will be held upright at an angle of sixty degrees between the breasts of the mother during a routine heel stick procedure. A blanket will be placed over the infants back throughout the intervention. The baby will remain in this condition for 15 minutes prior to heel lance, during the procedure and until the infant returns to baseline heart rate after the procedure is completed. In the control group, the infant will be in the prone position in the isolette. |

| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
Stress response: measured through the procurement of salivary cortisol collected prior to (basal) and 30 minutes after (stress response) the heel stick procedure for both the mother and the infant |
