This study was carried out to determine the effect of maternal heart sound listened to by newborns during heel blood collection on pain level and crying time.
The randomized controlled and experimental study was conducted with 60 newborns applied to a public family health center for heel blood collection. The infants in the experimental group (n=30) were listened to the maternal heart sound before, during, and after the heel blood collection procedure, and routine blood collection was applied to the control group (n=30). Newborn Information Form and Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) were used to collect data.
2,450 studies on the registry are indexed under Pain; 945 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 60 is below the median of 70 across 2,101 interventional studies indexed under Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
Routine heel blood was taken from the control group. At the same time, the behaviors of newborns were recorded on camera throughout the procedure. At the end of the study, the camera recording was watched and scored by two midwives who had training in the Neonatal Pain Scale.
The newborns in the experimental group listened to the recorded heart sounds of their mothers for 1 minute before the heel blood procedure, during the procedure and for 1 minute after the procedure. At the same time, the behaviors of newborns were recorded on camera throughout the procedure. At the end of the study, the camera recording was monitored and scored by two midwives trained in the Neonatal Pain Scale.
Other: Listening the maternal heart sound during the invasive interventions
Heart sounds of the newborns' own mothers were recorded on the voice recorder with the help of a hand doppler device. This sound was listened by the newborns in the experimental group during the heel blood procedure.
The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS)
The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) was used. NIPS: Scale Lawrence et al. (1993) was developed to evaluate the behavioral and physiological pain responses of preterm and term infants. The scale consists of five behavioral factors (facial expression, crying, arousal, arm and leg movements) and one physiological (breathing pattern) factor. The crying factor is given 0-1-2 points, the other factors are given 0-1 points, and the total score is between 0-7. A high score indicates greater severity of pain.
