Summary

Background: Determining the effectiveness of pain management strategies in newborns provide evidence to promote high-quality midwifery practices.

Purpose: The aim of the research is to evaluate the effect of the nesting technique on pain response during heel prick blood sampling in newborns.

Method: During the heel prick blood collection procedure at a university hospital, pain responses were evaluated in 29 full-term newborns who were held in a nest made of specially designed pillows for 3 minutes before, during, and after the procedure, and in 30 full-term newborns who underwent the routine procedure without being placed in a nest. Data were collected using the Baby Information Form, Observation Form, and the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale. A statistical software package was used for data analysis. As the data were normally distributed, the Independent t-test was used to compare group means, and Repeated Measures ANOVA was employed to assess differences over time.
