Cover Story: In combined parent-delivered pain management, sufficient preparation time tailored to each parent–infant dyad is necessary to facilitate parents’ participation and parent–infant closeness during painful procedures. When nurses and parents co-create knowledge, collaboration in the infant’s best interest occurs. Parents are a valuable resource in neonatal pain management with several parent-delivered methods proven effective to treat neonatal pain. This qualitative multicenter study with a participatory action research design investigated parents’ and nurses’ perceptions of combining the methods of skin-to-skin contact, live parental lullaby singing, and breastfeeding. The parents’ live singing calmed everyone while shifting focus from the painful procedure to the infant’s wellbeing. We found the combination feasible, promoting self-efficacy and confidence in parents and nurses. View this paper
