A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE OF PAEDIATRIC NURSES REGARDING TUCKING POSITIONING FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT IN INFANTS

Abstract

Pain management in infants undergoing intramuscular (IM) injections is a crucial aspect of paediatric nursing care. Tucking positioning is a non-pharmacological method believed to reduce pain perception in infants. However, the knowledge and practice levels among paediatric nurses regarding this technique remain underexplored.
