Brief Summary

It is important that integrated methods, which will not have a negative impact on the future health of babies who have just started life, are used in neonatal pain management by nurses who are in direct contact with babies, in terms of their ease of applicability. In addition, considering that by reducing the pain of newborns, their comfort will increase, mother-baby bonding will be greater, the newborn's adaptation to the outside world will increase, and sensory neural development will be positively affected. It is important for shaping. When the literature was examined, no study was found that examined the effect of the acupressure therapy method applied during heel blood collection of newborns and the effect of the fetal position on pain together. Accordingly, our study aimed to investigate the effects of these two important methods on pain and physiological parameters in newborns.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Neonatal Infant Pain Scale:NIPS

  It is a scale whose validity and reliability was established by Lawrence in 1993 for preterm and term babies and is used to evaluate the pain experienced by the newborn until the 6th week. It was developed to evaluate the behavioral pain responses of newborn babies 2 minutes before invasive procedures, 5 minutes during the procedure, and 3 minutes after the procedure.

Study Arms (3)

acupressure

EXPERIMENTAL

Acupressure Massage; It will be applied to BL 60 and K3 areas. The application will be applied in successive pressures with the thumb on each point for an average of 45-60 seconds.

Behavioral: Acupressur

fetal position

EXPERIMENTAL

The fetal position will be given with the newborn in the right side position, with the arms and legs joined in the midline.

Behavioral: Acupressur

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

no intervention
