Effects of Three Different Methods in Reducing Pain During Heel Blood Collection

The routine practice of the Breastfeeding Group is to place the infants in their mother's arms and start breastfeeding 1 minute before the procedure. Then, the nurse will take the heel blood.

The vibration device was placed on the infant's left extremity in the mid/lateral region just below the knee where the sural nerve passes. The device was secured to the extremity with a gauze bandage. The infants in the Vibration Group will be placed in their mother's arms and vibration will be applied 30 seconds before the routine application, and vibration will be applied during the 10-second waiting phase while the nurse performs the heel prick blood collection procedure.
