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

Among the non-pharmacological methods frequently used to reduce the effects of invasive interventions on the newborn; Practices such as reducing environmental stimuli, individualized developmental care, music therapy, breast milk, pacifier giving, sucrose, non-nutritive sucking, oral sucrose, kangaroo care, facilitated tucking position, and sweet solutions, massage and touching, positioning, nesting, kangaroo care, fetal positioning are included.

This study is a prospective, randomized and controlled trial. In this study aim, the effect of kangaroo care and swaddling methods applied during heel blood collection on the pain levels and crying times in newborns will be examined.

Sample of the study consisted of a total of 120 newborns who met the sample selection criteria and were selected via randomization method. Newborns were divided into three groups; kangaroo care group (n=40), swaddling group (n=40), and control group (n=40).
