Newborn, Pain, Stress
Conditions
Brief summary
Heel blood sampling is a routine but painful procedure for newborns. A limited number of international studies have shown that automatic lancets are more effective with less pain and tissue damage than manual lancets. In line with this information, this study was planned to investigate the effects of manual and automatic lancets on pain and stress in newborn capillary heel blood collection.
Interventions

An automatic lancet, which can reach a depth of 2.4 mm-3 mm, was used for safe piercing in babies.

| The neo pain assessment scale | 12 week | The neo scale was developed (2014) to assess pain and stress in premature and mature neonates. The Neo is a five-item scale including facial expression, breathing pattern, tone of extremities, hand and foot activity, and level of activity. The lowest and the highest scores obtainable from the scale are 0 and 10, respectively. As the score increases, stress and pain increase. |
