Brief Summary

In pain management of neonates in interventional applications, health professionals should be able to evaluate pain, reduce or eliminate pain. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods are used in pain management. Pharmacological, opioid analgesics, sedatives and local anesthetics are used. Nonpharmacologic methods include breastfeeding, giving pacifiers, oral sucrose, music, massage, therapeutic touch and nesting, positioning such as fetal positioning, wrapping, kangaroo care, rocking and cradling. Music makes positive changes in oxygen saturation level and peak heart rate values and reduces stress and pain. Classical music with light rhythmic emphasis and steady rhythm accompanied by a simple human voice or a single instrument, music performed by female vocalists (mother's voice, lullabies with female voice) and white noise similar to intrauterine sounds are among the types of music that have a positive effect on newborns. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design to compare the lullaby, classical music and white noise song by the mother to the newborn before and during heel prick blood collection with the control group and to determine which application gives superior results to the newborn's pain level, crying time and physiological parameters.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Cardiac apex beat (HRV)

    HRV will be evaluated before and during heel blood collection. It will be recorded by the researcher during the blood collection process.

    5 minutes before heel blood collection and at 1, 3 and 5 minutes during heel blood collection.

  • Oxygen saturation (SpO2)

    SpO2 will be evaluated before and during heel blood collection. It will be recorded by the researcher during the blood collection process.

    5 minutes before heel blood collection and at 1, 3 and 5 minutes during heel blood collection.

  • NIPS scale score

    The scale is used to evaluate pain due to procedures performed in term and premature babies. NIPS consists of sections that evaluate 6 behaviors against pain (crying, breathing pattern, arm and leg movements and alertness). Although the total score varies between 0-7, a higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

    NIPS will be evaluated 5 minutes before the heel prick and at 1, 3 and 5 minutes during the heel prick.

  • NIAPAS scale score

    NIAPAS scale measures acute pain; It is a scale that includes five behavioral and three physiological indicators given the week of gestation as a contextual factor. As a result of the scoring of the indicators, the score that can be obtained from the scale is between 0-18. Pain intensity is classified as mild pain (0-5), moderate pain (6-9) and severe pain (10-18).

    NIAPAS will be evaluated 5 minutes before the heel prick and at 1, 3 and 5 minutes during the heel prick.

  • Crying time

    The baby's crying time will be monitored and recorded.

    The baby's crying time will be 5 minutes before the heel prick and 5 minutes during the heel prick.

Interventions

mother's lullaby: the mother will be made to sing her own lullaby 5 minutes before the heel prick.

mother lullaby group

white noise: 5 minutes before taking heel prick blood, white noise will be started to be played on an MP3 player with white noise. The MP3 player will be placed in the crib where the baby lies, at the baby's bedside, at least 20 cm away from the baby's head. After the MP3 player is turned on, the sound level will be measured at the baby's ear level with a decibel meter and adjusted so that it does not exceed 70 decibels.

white noise group

classical music: 5 minutes before heel prick, classical music will be started to be played from the MP3 player with white noise. The MP3 will be placed inside the crib where the baby lies, at the baby's bedside, at least 20 cm away from the baby's head. After the MP3 player is turned on, the sound level will be measured at the baby's ear level with a decibel meter and adjusted so that it does not exceed 70 decibels.

Masking Details
The baby's crying time will be monitored and recorded. KTA and SpO2 will be recorded by the researcher during blood collection. Pain assessment of the babies will be made by two independent neonatal nurses other than the researcher. Both observers must have worked in the clinic for at least 5 years. Analysis of the data will be done by an independent analyst, not by researchers.
