Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Mother's Voice, Mothers Embrace and White Noise Methods During Heel Blood Collection
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Non-Pharmacological Methods for Infant, Newborn. Completed, enrolled 178 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Although various pharmacological methods have been used for heel puncture, their effectiveness has not been demonstrated. However, their use is limited due to their sedating effects, toxic effects, and respiratory depressant properties. In this sense, the use of non-pharmacological methods has been examined. Non-pharmacological methods have no side effects, are cheap, and are easily available/applicable. For these reasons, the fact that non-pharmacological methods (appropriate positioning, mother's lap, mother's voice, white noise, oral sucrose, classical music) have been frequently used in recent years, especially during painful interventions. Based on this information, the study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to compare the effects of holding the baby in the mother's arms, hearing white noise and mother's voice, or using them in combination during heel blood collection from healthy newborns.

Interventions
All of the applications that increase the effectiveness of drugs when used together with analgesics and provide the elimination of pain by releasing our body's natural morphine and endorphins without the use of analgesics are called non-pharmacological treatment.
