Interventions
Control group
1. The procedure for heel blood collection will be performed. 2. Pain assessment will be performed with the N-PASS scale during and after the procedure.
Warming
1. The cotton sock will be warmed under the heater for 3 minutes. The sock will be put on the newborn and taken off after 3 minutes. 2. The procedure for heel blood collection will be performed. 3. Pain assessment will be performed with the N-PASS scale during and after the procedure.
Vibration
1. A rechargeable toothbrush will be prepared for the newborn to whom vibration will be applied. The vibration process will be applied to the midline of the gastrocnemius muscle for 3 minutes. 2. The procedure for heel blood collection will be performed. 3. Pain assessment will be performed with the N-PASS scale during and after the procedure.
Warming and vibration
1. After the socks are warmed, they will be put on the newborn\'s feet and both warming and vibration will be applied for 3 minutes. 2. The procedure for heel blood collection will be performed. 3. Pain assessment will be performed with the N-PASS scale during and after the procedure.
