ABSTRACT: Backgorund: Pain in newborns is a complicated, individualized, subjective, and universal finding. The most common painful procedures performed during infancy are routine injections without pain management. As the nurses working in labour wards are the one who administer the shot of Vitamin K, non-pharmacological neonatal pain control supports the identification of practical and accessible techniques that nurses can incorporate into their practice. Objective of study: to evaluate the effect of facilitated tucking position in terms of variation of physiological and behavioral responses of newborn before, during and after administration of vitamin K. Methodology: quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test control group design used in study. Stethoscope and NIPS scale used to measure physiological (heart rate) and behavioural responses (NIPS score) among newborns. This study conducted in selected hospital of pune city, the subject were 50 normal newborn among them 25 from control group and 25 from experimental group. result: Tucking position is given by investigator in experimental group. The findings shows that NIPS score less in experimental group than control group. (p>0.05) Conclusion: facilitated tucking position to newborn while administration injection helps to prevent long term consequence of painful stimulus; therefore improves development of newborn.
