Summary

Newborns hospitalized with some respiratory problems in the clinic are taken to noninvasive mechanical ventilation support and vascular access is required for some treatments to be applied to these newborns. The presence of nasal cannulas used for noninvasive mechanical ventilation support in newborns causes restlessness, agitation and stress in infants. The uneasiness and stress experienced by babies during vascular access also affects effective vascular access, causing other doses to be delayed or skipped due to treatment doses that are not completed on time. In addition, the pain experienced by babies indirectly affects nurses. It has been reported in many studies that it is effective in reducing the pain experienced by newborns with non-pharmacological methods. Simultaneous white noise will be played and therapeutic touch applied to help touch methods and white noise listening help reduce or control newborns' pain. Many studies have shown that touching to and listening white noise is effective in reducing pain. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of white noise-accompanied therapeutic touch application on pain level and physiological parameters and noninvasive mechanical ventilation support during peripheral intravenous catheterization in premature infants hospitalized for treatment.

Hypothesis 0: The application of therapeutic touch with white noise during peripheral intravenous catheter intervention in premature infants has no effect on the level of pain.

Hypothesis 1: White noise-accompanied therapeutic touch application reduces pain level during peripheral intravenous catheter intervention in premature infants.

Hypothesis 2: The therapeutic touch application accompanied by white noise during peripheral intravenous catheter intervention in premature infants positively affects physiological parameters.
