Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Shotblocker and breastfeeding are an attempt to reduce pain during invasive procedures in newborns. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of non-pharmacological interventions on the pain and comfort level of newborns, whose heel blood will be taken in the 1st Level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hypotheses H1: Newborns who undergo breastfeeding attempt during heel lance procedure feel less pain and have a higher comfort level.

H2: Newborns who undergo breastfeeding attempt and are applied shotblocker during heel lance procedure feel less pain and have a higher comfort level.

H3: Newborns who undergo shotblocker intervention during heel lance procedure feel less pain and have a higher comfort level.

H4: There are a difference between the comfort levels, HR and PO2 of newborns in terms of group, group-time and time according to the intervention applied.

Data collection process Mothers of newborns whose heel blood will be taken will be informed about the research. Consent will be obtained from the mother regarding the video recording during the heel lance precedure. After informed consent is obtained, it will be determined which group the newborn belongs to by stratified randomization.

A standard approach will be applied to all newborns. Standard approach involves performing the heel lance procedure on the caregiver's lap. Heel lance procedure will be scheduled between 09:00 and 10:00 in the morning, one hour after babies are breastfed. Babies to be included in the study in each group; they will be in their beds, in the undisturbed rest period, until 30 minutes before the start of the test. All babies; 2 minutes before, during and up to 2 minutes after blood collection; they will be video-recorded including their heart rate, faces, and upper and lower extremities (especially the heel to be operated). No additional care will be given to ensure physiological stability during each intervention (breastfeeding, shotblocker, etc.)

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Breastfeeding intervention

The baby will be placed on the mother's lap 2 minutes before the procedure. 2 minutes before the heel lance, the mother starts to breastfeed her baby and continues to breastfeed throughout the procedure and until the last touch to baby. If necessary, the researcher may verbally warn the mother in a calm tone to continue breastfeeding throughout the procedure. During the resting period (last 2 minutes) after the blood draw is completed, the baby stays on the mother's lap.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

nonphamacological methods

Shotblocker intervention

2 minutes before the procedure, the baby will be placed on the mother's lap. ShotBlocker is a small plastic tool that is blunt, short, has many points in contact with the skin, does not contain drugs, is in the shape of a horseshoe, invasive interventions can be applied through the space in the middle. It is positioned on the skin before the invasive procedure. The investigator should make sure that the contact points touch the skin. Shotblocker is pressed firmly for 20 seconds before the intervention, it is pulled from the area and the heel is pierced with the lancet. After Shotblocker is applied to the skin, invasive intervention should be performed within 30 seconds and the protocol should be followed. During the resting period (last 2 minutes) after the heel lance is completed, the baby stays on the mother's lap.

Breastfeeding and Shotblocker intervention

The baby will be placed on the mother's lap 2 minutes before the procedure. 2 minutes before the heel lance, the mother starts to breastfeed her baby and continues to breastfeed throughout the procedure and until the last touch to baby. The investigator should make sure that the contact points touch the skin. Shotblocker is pressed firmly for 20 seconds before the intervention, it is pulled from the area and the heel is pierced with the lancet. After Shotblocker is applied to the skin, invasive intervention should be performed within 30 seconds and the protocol should be followed. During the resting period (last 2 minutes) after the heel lance is completed, the baby stays on the mother's lap.

Control group/ Standard Care

The baby is placed on the mother's lap 2 minutes before the procedure and the mother is provided to hold the baby effectively and graspingly. Standard heel lance procedure is applied. No additional interventions are applied to the baby. During the resting period (last 2 minutes) after the heel lance is completed, the baby stays on the mother's lap.
