The newborn can learn the voices of its mother and father during intrauterine life, and the reencounter with these familiar voices after birth has a relaxing and calming effect on the baby.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mother's voice and father's voice that newborns listened to during the heel blood collection procedure on pain level and physiological parameters.
The study was a randomized controlled trial. The study consisted of a total of 90 newborns as participants (mother voice group = 30, father voice group = 30, and control group = 30) at the Düzce Atatürk State Hospital Gynecology Service, Türkiye. Newborns randomly assigned to the intervention groups were made to listen to the mother's voice/father's voice during the heel prick procedure. The newborn in the control group received standard heel blood collection procedures.
When the pain level of newborns was examined, it was determined that the lowest Newborn Infant Pain Scale score was in the mother's voice group ( P < .05). When the physiological parameter results were evaluated, it was determined that the highest oxygen saturation value and the lowest heart rate were found in the mother's voice group ( P < .05).
It was determined that the mother's voice was the most effective method in relieving the pain that occurred during the heel prick procedure and in the positive course of physiological parameters in newborns. According to the results of the study, it is recommended to use the mother's voice in order to reduce the pain caused by the heel prick attempt in newborns and to regulate their physiological parameters.
新生儿在子宫内就能学习其父母的声音，出生后再次听到这些熟悉的声音会对婴儿产生放松和平静的效果。
本研究的目的是确定新生儿在足跟采血过程中听到的母亲声音和父亲声音对疼痛程度和生理参数的影响。
该研究为随机对照试验。研究共纳入了土耳其杜兹耶阿塔图尔克州立医院妇科服务部的90名新生儿作为参与者（母亲声音组 = 30名，父亲声音组 = 30名，对照组 = 30名）。随机分配到干预组的新生儿在足跟采血过程中听母亲的声音/父亲的声音。对照组的新生儿接受标准的足跟采血程序。
检查新生儿的疼痛程度时，发现母亲声音组的新生儿婴儿疼痛量表得分最低（P < 0.05）。评估生理参数结果时，发现母亲声音组的氧饱和度值最高，心率最低（P < 0.05）。
确定母亲的声音是缓解足跟采血过程中新生儿出现的疼痛以及使新生儿生理参数呈积极变化的最有效方法。根据研究结果，建议使用母亲的声音来减轻新生儿足跟采血尝试引起的疼痛并调节其生理参数。
