Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of two different methods of education (verbal instruction + written brochure and verbal instruction + AI-assisted video presentation) given to new mothers on neonatal pain management, their use of non-pharmacological methods, anxiety levels, and neonatal pain, and to examine the relationship between them. Research Questions Do two different pain management education methods affect mothers' use of nonpharmacological methods? Do two different pain management education methods affect mothers' anxiety levels? Do two different pain management education methods affect neonatal pain during heel prick procedures? Is there a difference between verbal instruction combined with a written brochure and verbal instruction combined with video demonstration in terms of mothers' use of nonpharmacological methods? Is there a difference between verbal instruction combined with a written brochure and verbal instruction combined with video demonstration in terms of maternal anxiety levels? Is there a difference between verbal instruction combined with a written brochure and verbal instruction combined with video demonstration in terms of neonatal pain during heel prick procedures? Is there a relationship between mothers' use of nonpharmacological methods and their anxiety levels?
