Many painful interventions that cause pain and stress are applied to preterm babies in the neonatal intensive care unit for diagnosis and treatment. In neonatal care and reduction of acute interventional pain; Non-pharmacological methods including behavioral, psychological and environmental regulations should be used.

In the hepatitis B vaccine administered to preterm babies, stimulating the grasping reflex can make the preterm baby feel safe and calm. In the literature, there are many studies aimed at reducing pain in preterm newborns.
