Plain-language summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of using white noise, embracing and facilitated tucking on physiological parameters, crying duration and pain during heel lance blood sampling in healthy newborns. This study was a prospective, randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted with healthy newborns who were born between 38 and 42 weeks of gestation. The newborns were divided into 4 groups by the applied pain relief methods during heel lance blood sampling in newborns; embracing(n=40), white noise(n=40), facilitated tucking(n=40) and control group (n=40). The physiological changes were evaluated before and after the procedure. NIPS (Neonatal Infant Pain Scale) was used for pain scoring.
