Vibration Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the vibration group, a vibrating device (Mini vibrator, 8.5 cm, 92-100 Hz) was applied to the middle/side area through which the sural nerve passes immediately below the knee of the extremity from which heel blood was to be collected approximately 30 seconds prior to commencement of the heel lance procedure. The vibration was continued throughout the heel lance procedure unless there was redness, swelling, bruising or a change in the skin integrity in the area to which the vibration was applied, and the vibration was stopped once the procedure was over.

Device: a vibrating device

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

No interventions were made on the newborns in the control group during the heel lance procedure.

Interventions
