Parent Targeted Interventions in Vaccination Pain Management of Infants

There were two interventions compared in this study: 1) Be Sweet to Babies Videos and Pamphlet; and 2) Be Sweet to Babies Videos, pamphlet, and MIAS\&Q. The Be Sweet to Babies vaccination pain management videos and pamphlet were provided to all participants as this information is publicly available, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the evidence-based recommended vaccination pain management strategies for infants. In addition, a pamphlet was used which was developed in partnership with CHEO and Ottawa Public Health as a knowledge translation tool. Those in the intervention arm were also given MIAS\&Q included five questions and statements based on the MI approach consisted of four scaled questions and two open-ended questions, aimed to present brief informative and affirmative questions and statements to help the parents reflect on their own thoughts and support them to advocate for the use of the recommended pain management strategies during their infant's vaccination.

The Be Sweet to Babies vaccination pain management videos and pamphlet will be provided to all participants. Be Sweet to Babies vaccination pain management videos showing parents how to use breastfeeding, upright secure holding, and a small volume of sweet solution during vaccination, will be used. This pamphlet is a knowledge translation tool previously developed in partnership with the Children Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and Ottawa Public Health and has been publicly available on the Ottawa Public Health Website since June 2013. The content presented about pain management for infants during vaccination is the same information as the video.
