Summary

In the present study, the randomized controlled and experimental design is used because it was aimed to determine the effects of two different warming methods (warming with a thermophore heating pad and warming with a warm towel) performed before heel prick intervention on pain levels and duration of crying in healthy term newborns.

Study hypotheses are; Hypothesis 1. Using the thermophore pad warming method in newborns before heel prick reduces the newborn's pain level.

Hypothesis 2. Using the warm towel warming method in newborns before heel prick reduces the newborn's pain level.

Hypothesis 3. Using the thermophore pad warming method in newborns before heel prick reduces the duration of crying.

Hypothesis 4. Using the warm towel warming method in newborns before heel prick reduces the duration of crying
