Abstract Background Because of the immaturity and severe condition preterm infants undergoes a lot of painful and stressful procedures during their care that can cause short-term and long-term negative consequences. Maintenance of optimal comfort is essential for good clinical practice. To assess the comfort of preterm infants before and after the capillary blood sampling procedure. Methods The quantitative observational study was conducted in May 2019—February 2020 in the University hospital NICU. The research instrument was a neonatal comfort scale COMFORTneo, which total scores ranged 6–30. Higher scores indicated higher discomfort. Preterm infant comfort was assessed before the capillary blood sampling procedure and 30 min. after applying non-pharmacological pain relief and comfort assurance methods and implementing the procedure. The research was conducted in accordance with ethical principles. Results Comfort was assessed in 157 preterm newborns with a gestational age of 30 ± 3.3 weeks and a postnatal age of 6.0 ± 5.7 days. The mean value of neonatal comfort before the capillary blood sampling procedure was 10.0 ± 3.2 points, after the procedure 9.1 ± 2.4 points. A statistically significant inverse relationship was found between pre-procedure and post-procedure comfort (Z = -5.374; P < 0.001). A statistically significant weak inverse relationship was found between gestational age and comfort scores before the procedure (r = -0.204; P = 0.01) and after the procedure (r = -0.321; P = 0.008). Conclusions In most cases, preterm infants were feeling moderate discomfort before and after the capillary blood sampling procedure. Newborns had more discomfort before the procedure than 30 min. after the completion of the procedure. Lower gestational age newborns were feeling greater discomfort.
