Pantomimes of pain, distress, repose and lability: the world of the preterm baby

Bernadette Carter, PhD, PGCE, BSc, RNT, RSCN, RGN

Department of Health Care Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University

{blacksquare} Little research exists in relation to the world of the preterm baby nursed in moderate- to high-dependency neonatal units

{blacksquare} A constructivist approach allowed study of the responses of preterm babies to painful stimuli in relation to other patterns of behaviour

{blacksquare} Heuristic analysis demonstrated four pantomimes: repose, lability, distress and pain

{blacksquare} Babies used active self-coping strategies to contain pain, distress and lability

{blacksquare} Babies signalled the need for support with both characteristic hand positions and grosser movements

{blacksquare} The need for supportive, skilled nursing care and close assessment of behavioural state is indicated

Key Words: Preterm • Pantomime • Pain • Distress • Lability • Repose • Self-coping strategies • Hand positions
