Crying is a vital communication signal for the baby. Product of a complex physiological process, it reflects not only the organization and functioning of the cortical central nervous system and the function of sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic regulation but also the integrity of three entities: the lungs responsible for ventilatory mechanics and respiratory rhythm, the larynx and its vocal cords as a phonatory organ, and the oropharyngeal tract guaranteeing the resonance of the sound emitted by the vocal cords. Crying is usually caused by pain, discomfort, hunger, or separation from parents or other caregivers. Crying carries essential information from birth, the expression of which depends closely on the neuroanatomical and functional brain integrity of the child. On a bioacoustic level, crying consists of sequences of complex acoustic signals produced by the vocal folds and filtered by the vocal tract. The vibration frequency of the vocal cords determines the cry's fundamental frequency f0 (and the harmonic frequencies), which is responsible for its more or less low or high pitch. Other acoustic cues also characterize each baby's cry.
In our study, the effect of the frequency of position changes on hyperbilirubinemia in babies hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and receiving phototherapy treatment will be investigated. This study was planned as a single-center randomized controlled clinical trial to examine the effect of the frequency of position changes on the time it takes for hyperbilirubinemia to subside in babies receiving phototherapy treatment in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Mersin City Training and Research Hospital. Babies included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups by randomization method. While the babies in the study group will be subjected to position changes (supine, prone, lateral) every 2 hours, the same procedure will be applied to the control group every 6 hours. All newborns included in the study were treated with the Unitest (Blue angel) LED Phototherapy device, which is used as standard in the neonatal intensive care unit, at a distance of 25-40 cm, at a wavelength of 425-475 nm, at 45 watts, at 50/60 Hz. Phototherapy will be applied unidirectionally. During phototherapy, only the perineal area of the babies will be covered with a reduced diaper, and their eyes will be covered with a three-layer, cotton, black eye patch that transmits 99.5% of ultraviolet rays. During phototherapy sessions, the total serum bilirubin level of the patient is checked; Phototherapy will be continued until it falls below the threshold value in the Bhutani nomogram, which is evaluated according to postnatal days and risk factors. The descriptive characteristics of the babies included in the study and their total bilirubin and hematocrit values before the start of phototherapy will be recorded on the form prepared by the researchers. After phototherapy begins, position changes will be made every two hours for babies in the experimental group and every six hours for babies in the control group until the total serum bilirubin value falls below the phototherapy threshold value in the Bhutani nomogram. Bilirubin levels will be measured and recorded by venous measurement at the sixth hour and the 24th hour, and this process will be continued regularly until the bilirubin value decreases to the normal range. This practice is performed routinely in the clinic and will not be considered specific to the study.
The research was planned as a randomized controlled study to investigate the effect of breast milk smell and mother's smell applied while heel blood was taken to term babies in the Mersin City EAH Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between October and December 2023, on acute pain and crying duration. During the heel prick procedure, which is routinely performed in the neonatal intensive care unit, no pharmacological/non-pharmacological method will be applied to the control group to reduce the baby's pain before, during and after the heel prick. The baby's pain score will be evaluated by the observing nurse according to the NIPS pain scale 5 minutes before, during and 5 minutes after the procedure. In the study group that will be made to smell the mother's scent; The mother of each baby whose heel blood will be taken will be given a specially made cover made of 100% cotton yarn, sterilized the day before, and the mother will be asked to put the cover on her bare skin (on her bare skin) after the shower and to keep the cover on the mother's chest for one night (8 hours). It will be placed 15 cm away from the baby and smelled 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after the heel prick attempt. The baby's pain score will be evaluated by the observing nurse according to the NIPS pain scale 5 minutes before, during and 5 minutes after the procedure.
It can cause physiological and behavioral changes in infants such as pain, tachycardia, hypoxemia, increased blood pressure, grimacing, prolonged crying, and irritability. Vaccination is an important part of neonatal nursing care. Newborns express their pain nonverbally and behaviorally. Therefore, any pain assessment is based on the ability of others to recognize pain symptoms. This randomized controlled trial was planned to evaluate the effect of heart sound and white noise on pain and physiological parameters during intramuscular injection of hepatitis B vaccine in newborns. This randomized controlled study used parallel trial design.
It is important that integrated methods, which will not have a negative impact on the future health of babies who have just started life, are used in neonatal pain management by nurses who are in direct contact with babies, in terms of their ease of applicability. In addition, considering that by reducing the pain of newborns, their comfort will increase, mother-baby bonding will be greater, the newborn's adaptation to the outside world will increase, and sensory neural development will be positively affected. It is important for shaping. When the literature was examined, no study was found that examined the effect of the acupressure therapy method applied during heel blood collection of newborns and the effect of the fetal position on pain together. Accordingly, our study aimed to investigate the effects of these two important methods on pain and physiological parameters in newborns.
This study was planned in a randomized controlled quasi-experimental design to determine the effect of breastfeeding education using a doll during pregnancy on newborn feeding. Necessary institutional and ethics committee permissions will be obtained before the study. Before data collection, the consent form will be read to the pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer to participate in the study and their written and verbal consent will be obtained. The information in the participant information form will be questioned before the training. In the prenatal period of the study, the Control group will be given the standard breastfeeding education applied by the institution verbally. In the intervention group, breastfeeding education prepared in line with the relevant literature will be given by the researchers. Individual breastfeeding training will be given to each participant by a researcher.

Purpose: To examine the effects of straining techniques on the duration of labor, perineal trauma status and newborn apgar score. Method: This study is a randomized controlled trial. The straining techniques were explained to the pregnant women who gave written consent to participate in the study and were randomly assigned to groups in the latent phase (natural, spontaneous, Valsalva), and the techniques were applied in the second phase of labor.
Neonatal death is one of the important indicators showing the development level of countries. Many newborn deaths are preventable. Preventable neonatal deaths arise from events such as birth asphyxia at the time of delivery. Nursing students receive neonatal resuscitation training with classical training methods and graduate without the opportunity to experience it in a clinical setting. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of web-based serious game simulation method in neonatal resuscitation training given to nursing students.
