Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)

    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.

Interventions

Orhan OSMAN's song "Don't Let Your Baby Cry-2" from the "Kolik" album was used.

White Noise

In order to transfer the Ki energy to the baby, he took a deep breath and gathered the universal energy in his palms, intending the baby's well-being and healing. The researcher applied the Yakson touch by covering the abdomen and chest of the newborn with his right hand (dominant hand) while the newborn was in the supine position, and supported the baby's back and hips with his left hand.
