NCT05173662

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of non-pharmacological pain management education given to mothers on the use of non-pharmacological methods and anxiety levels of mothers during routine heel blood collection (guthrie screening test) in term newborns. H0= There was no difference between the intervention group who received non-pharmacological pain management education and the control group's level of anxiety and use of non-pharmacological applications. H1= The use of non-pharmacological methods is different between the intervention group and the control group that received non-pharmacological pain management education. H2= Anxiety scores of the intervention group that received non-pharmacological pain management education and the control group were different. H3= Some characteristics and anxiety levels of mothers have an effect on their use of non-pharmacological methods. It was carried out between July - September 2021 at the Akşehir State Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, which serves in the Akşehir district of Konya province.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The mothers' use of non-pharmacological methods

    The mothers' use of non-pharmacological methods during heel blood collection. These methods are; expressed breast milk, hugging, skin-to-skin contact, cuddling, calming sounds. The cases of using the methods were determined as yes and no for each method.

    After the process first 10 minute

Secondary Outcomes (1)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

To the mothers in this group; At least 12 hours before the heel blood collection (guthrie screening test), training was given, lasting 25 minutes, on average, through the training brochure on non-pharmacological pain management prepared by the researcher. The training was carried out in a language that the mother could understand, in the form of direct lectures and questions and answers, using the visuals in the brochure. In the training content; There are five non-pharmacological methods. These; * Expressed breast milk * Wrapping * Skin-to-skin contact * Cuddling * They are methods of making calming sounds.

Procedure: Providing education and brochures on non-pharmacological methods that can be applied during the heel blood collection process

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

In the control group, as in the clinical routine, the heel stick procedure was performed in the newborn's own bed next to his mother. No other action has been applied.

Interventions

Theeduvation initiative was implemented by the researcher at least 12 hours ago in the mothers' room and a brochure was given about the education.

Masking Details
In order to avoid bias in the evaluation of the data, the analysis of the coded data in terms of groups was done by an independent statistician. After the statistical analyzes were completed and the research report was written, the researcher explained the coding of the intervention and control groups. In this way, single blindness was achieved.
