Abstract
Background Pain in the newborn period puts the individual at risk of developing short- (Hall & Anand, 2005) and long-term (Walker, 2019) negative consequences. To provide sufficient prevention and treatment of pain is a cornerstone of neonatal care. This should be done with a multimodal approach, using non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions (Carter & Brunkhorst, 2017). Many of the supportive, non-pharmacological interventions can be delivered by the parents of the newborn infant (Franck, Oulton, & Bruce, 2012). Little is known to which extent these methods are recommended and used or how the parents experience being responsible for their child’s pain alleviation.
