Name	Time	Method
The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)	12 week	The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was used. NIPS: Scale Lawrence et al. (1993) was developed to evaluate the behavioral and physiological pain responses of preterm and term infants. The scale consists of five behavioral factors (facial expression, crying, arousal, arm and leg movements) and one physiological (breathing pattern) factor. The crying factor is given 0-1-2 points, the other factors are given 0-1 points, and the total score is between 0-7. A high score indicates greater severity of pain.
