The Effect of 3 Different Auditory Applications on Newborn Heel Prick Procedure

Summary

In pain management of neonates in interventional applications, health professionals should be able to evaluate pain, reduce or eliminate pain. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods are used in pain management. Pharmacological, opioid analgesics, sedatives and local anesthetics are used. Nonpharmacologic methods include breastfeeding, giving pacifiers, oral sucrose, music, massage, therapeutic touch and nesting, positioning such as fetal positioning, wrapping, kangaroo care, rocking and cradling.

Music makes positive changes in oxygen saturation level and peak heart rate values and reduces stress and pain. Classical music with light rhythmic emphasis and steady rhythm accompanied by a simple human voice or a single instrument, music performed by female vocalists (mother's voice, lullabies with female voice) and white noise similar to intrauterine sounds are among the types of music that have a positive effect on newborns.

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design to compare the lullaby, classical music and white noise song by the mother to the newborn before and during heel prick blood collection with the control group and to determine which application gives superior results to the newborn's pain level, crying time and physiological parameters.

Conditions

• Newborn Pain

Interventions

OTHER

mother lullaby group

mother's lullaby: the mother will be made to sing her own lullaby 5 minutes before the heel prick.

OTHER

white noise group

white noise: 5 minutes before taking heel prick blood, white noise will be started to be played on an MP3 player with white noise. The MP3 player will be placed in the crib where the baby lies, at the baby's bedside, at least 20 cm away from the baby's head. After the MP3 player is turned on, the sound level will be measured at the baby's ear level with a decibel meter and adjusted so that it does not exceed 70 decibels.

OTHER

classical music group

classical music: 5 minutes before heel prick, classical music will be started to be played from the MP3 player with white noise. The MP3 will be placed inside the crib where the baby lies, at the baby's bedside, at least 20 cm away from the baby's head. After the MP3 player is turned on, the sound level will be measured at the baby's ear level with a decibel meter and adjusted so that it does not exceed 70 decibels.
