Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled study was planned to evaluate the effects of listening to white noise and therapeutic touch on physiological parameters, pain and comfort level during the heel blood collection procedure on infants who gave birth at 32 weeks and above and were given to their mothers in Atatürk Training and Research Hospital.
Detailed Description
Hypotheses H1: Newborns who listen to white noise during heel blood collection feel less pain and have a higher comfort level. H2: Newborns who are treated with therapeutic touch during heel blood collection feel less pain and have a higher comfort level. H3: Newborns who listen to white noise and apply therapeutic touch during heel blood collection feel less pain and have a higher comfort level. H4: There is a difference between the pain and comfort levels of newborns in terms of group, group-time and time according to the intervention applied. Methods Mothers of newborns whose heel blood will be taken will be informed about the research. The mothers will be informed about the fact that heel blood collection is a routine practice, the data will be recorded by the nurse and 2 observers who take heel blood in the study, and they will also be informed about the white noise and therapeutic touch practices to be listened to, and their written consent will be obtained. After obtaining informed written consent, it will be determined which group the newborn belongs to by stratified randomization. Stratified randomization was applied according to gender and week of birth. A standard approach will be applied to all newborns. Standard approach; If the baby is asleep, the heel blood will be taken, he will be woken up, put on a denim bed, his upper extremities will be gently wrapped with a blanket, and the procedure will be performed by the nurse. Babies to be included in the study in each group; Until 30 minutes before the start of the procedure, they will be in their beds, in the rest period, where they are not disturbed. All babies; 5 minutes before, during and up to 5 minutes after blood collection; Observational findings including heart rates, SpO2 values, pain and confort scores will be recorded in the data form. No additional care will be given to ensure physiological stability in all groups.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was developed by Lawrence et al. in 1993. Turkish validity and reliability were established by Akdovan in 1999 (Akdovan, 1999). Newborn infant pain scale, facial movements (0; relaxed, 1; restless), crying (0; no crying, 1; groaning, 2; loud crying), breathing (0; relaxed, 1; variable-irregular), arm (0 It is a likert-type scale consisting of 6 parameters: relaxed-free, 1; flexion-extension), leg (0; comfortable-free, 1; flexion-extension) and sleep-wake (0; sleeping-waking peaceful, 1; restless). . The assessment of pain is based on the total score.
The newborn comfort behavior scale
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The newborn comfort behavior scale is a Likert type scale developed to evaluate the comfort needs, pain and distress of newborn babies. This scale was developed by Ambuel et al. (1992) to evaluate comfort, pain and stress in newborn babies receiving mechanical ventilator support in the intensive care unit (Ambuel et al., 1992). As a result of the application of this scale, a total score of 6-30 is reached. If the total score obtained as a result of the evaluation is between 9-13, it is emphasized that the baby is comfortable, if it is 14 and above, the baby's comfort level is low and additional interventions may be required to increase comfort.
Secondary Outcomes
- heart rate(10 minutes)
- oxygen saturation(10 minutes)
