Effects of Yakson Method and Swaddling on Pain and Physiological Parameters

Total processing time and baby's crying time are calculated by watching video recordings. In order to find the total procedure time, starting from the puncture of the baby's heel, the time until the dry cotton is placed on the baby's heel after the blood collection process is completed is calculated. The heart rate and SpO2 are noted by the investigator during the heel lancing procedure. Pain assessment of infants is done by two independent neonatal nurses, apart from the researcher, by watching video recordings. The scores given by the two observers will be evaluated by making inter-observer harmony. Before the evaluation, the nurses will be trained about the scale and its evaluation.
