Fullterm infants had weight between 2,500 grams and 4,000 grams, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes greater than or equal to eight, and admitted in a nursery of Songklanagarind Hospital. Fifty neonates were divided evenly between the two groups through purposive sampling. The instruments consisted of a leg massage manual and the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS). The NIPS was validated by three experts (CVI = 1.0) and tested for the inter - rater reliability equals to .88. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the independent t-test were used to analyze the data.</p> <p>The results revealed that the mean pain score of infants in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (M = 5.84, S.D. = 1.28; M = 6.64, S.D. = 1.11; t = -2.357, p < 0.05). Thus, the leg massage could reduce pain for infants receiving vitamin K injection.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Research in Nursing-Midwifery and Health Sciences }, author={Chinnaworn, Achara and Wongpoj, Kanuengnid}, year={2012}, month={Dec.}, pages={27–36} }
