About this study
Official title: The Effect of White Noise and Therapeutic Touch on Pain in Newborn Heel Blood Collection
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of white noise and therapeutic touch on pain in newborn heel blood collection.Questions including the sex of the newborns, postnatal age, gestational age, birth weight, height, head and chest circumference, feeding style, nutritional status in the last half hour, and previous heel blood collection were collected with the "Information Form".The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was used to evaluate the pain levels of newborns.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
White NoiseOther
Orhan OSMAN's song "Don't Let Your Baby Cry-2" from the "Kolik" album was used.
Yakson TouchOther
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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: 12 week
