NCT06279169

Brief Summary

It can cause physiological and behavioral changes in infants such as pain, tachycardia, hypoxemia, increased blood pressure, grimacing, prolonged crying, and irritability. Vaccination is an important part of neonatal nursing care. Newborns express their pain nonverbally and behaviorally. Therefore, any pain assessment is based on the ability of others to recognize pain symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was planned to evaluate the effect of heart sound and white noise on pain and physiological parameters during intramuscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in newborns. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)

    Used to assess behavioral and physiological pain responses of preterm and term infants. The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale is a Likert-type scale consisting of 6 parameters including facial movements (0; relaxed, 1; restless), crying (0; no crying, 1; moaning, 2; loud crying), breathing (0; relaxed, 1; variable-irregular), arm (0; relaxed-free, 1; flexion-extension), leg (0; relaxed-free, 1; flexion-extension) and sleep-wakefulness (0; sleep-wakefulness peaceful, 1; restless). According to the scale, 7 is interpreted as the highest level of pain and 0 as the lowest level of pain. A high score indicates greater severity of pain.

Study Arms (3)

Heart sound group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the heart sound group, the heart sound with an average heart rate of 70 beats is transmitted to the loudspeaker via an Mp3 player. Two small 200 W loudspeakers (SONY®)/"JBL" brand loudspeakers are used, placed on either side of the newborn's head, 30 cm from the newborn's ears.

Behavioral: Heart Sound

White noise group

EXPERIMENTAL

In the white noise group, the mother of the baby is told that the white noise to be used in the study will be used for pain relief. For the white noise, the musician Osman Orhan's colic album, which was released by the production and often used in the literature. The song "Bebeğiniz Ağlamasın Pt-3" from the album "Kolik" will be used (permission to use it in this work has been granted by ON Music Production). The volume is set to 45 db. The "JBL" loudspeaker is placed on the newborn's toe 5 minutes before the procedure, about 30 cm from the newborn's ear, and white noise is played 5 minutes before, during (at the 1st minute) and 5 minutes after the administration of the Hep B vaccine.

Behavioral: White Noise

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Newborns in the control group will not receive any intervention other than Hepatitis B vaccination.

Interventions

Heart SoundBEHAVIORAL

In the Heart sound group, this sound will be played to the newborn 5 minutes before Hep B vaccine administration, during the procedure (at 1 minute) and 5 minutes after Hep B vaccine administration

Heart sound group
White NoiseBEHAVIORAL

Musician Osman Orhan's song "Bebeğiniz Ağlamasın" from his album Kolik will be used for white noise. The volume will be set to 45 db.
