“…As the score obtained increases, stress and pain levels also increase. The Cronbach's Alpha Coe cient of the scale was reported to be 0.95 [19]. In this study, Cronbach's Alpha Coe cient of the scale was determined to be 0.91.…”

“…Neonatal Pain and Stress Rating Scale (ALPS-Neo); The scale was developed by Lundqvist et al [18] to evaluate pain and stress in preterm and term newborns and was adapted into Turkish by Serap Ceylan and Bolışık [19] as a 3-point Likert-type scale consisting of 5 items (newborn's facial expression, breathing pattern, tonus of the extremities, hand and foot activities, and activity levels). The measurements are made by observation.…”

Complementary care applications such as aromatherapy can be used to reduce the negative effects of newborns such as pain and stress. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled double-blind trial to examine the effects of massage and bathing using lavender oil on the pain, stress and behavior of newborns (This clinical trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov with ID number NCT05770999). The sample of the study included 45 term newborns (15 lavender massage groups, 15 lavender bath groups, 15 control groups) with a postnatal age of 1-5 days and a gestational age of 38-42 weeks, who could tolerate enterally administered nutrients, were not connected to a respiratory support device, had no skin disease, had no genetic or chromosomal anomalies, and did not undergo surgical intervention, at least one of the parents gave written consent. Ethics Committee and necessary permissions were obtained for the research, and the ethical guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki were complied with. Descriptive statistics, chi-square, Repeated Measures ANOVA and One-Way ANOVA tests were used to evaluate the data. It was determined that the ALPS- Neo scores of the newborns in the lavender massage group decreased at the 5th minute after the study compared to the before the study. It was determined that the ABSS scores of the newborns in the lavender massage group decreased at the 5th minute after the study compared to the before the study. It was determined that the mean difference between the ALPS-Neo scores of the newborns in the lavender massage group was higher than the other groups. It can be said that aromatherapy massage with lavender oil is more effective in reducing pain and stress levels and improving behavioral outcomes in newborns than a bath application made by adding lavender oil. It is recommended to encourage the application of aromatherapy massage in newborn clinics, to inform parents and to include more studies on this subject.

“…To assess the pain experienced by the PIs, the ALPS‐Neo Pain and Stress Assessment Scale (ALPS‐Neo) was used. The scale was developed by Lundqvist et al (2014) in English and adapted to in Turkish by Ceylan and Bolışık (2017b). The maximum total score for this scale is 10, and the lowest possible score is 0.…”

“…When evaluating the scale, a score of 0–2 indicates that the responder is affected by pain and stress, a score of 3–5 indicates that the responder experiences moderate pain and stress and a score of 5 points indicates that the responder is affected by severe pain and stress. The Cronbach's α values of the scale in the original and adaptation study were .95 and .81, respectively (Ceylan & Bolışık, 2017b; Lundqvist et al, 2014).…”

Aims This study aims to investigate the effects of semi‐elevated right lateral and semi‐elevated supine positions on feeding tolerance, stress severity and pain levels among premature infants during tube feeding. Methods This was a randomized cross‐over clinical trial. A total of 34 premature infants who were fed via orogastric tube were included in this study. Feeding tolerance was assessed by abdominal circumference measurements and checking gastric residuals; this assessment was single blinded. Physiological values were evaluated before, during and after tube feeding. The stress severity and pain levels of the infants were also evaluated independently by the researchers before, during and after tube feeding. A significance level of .05 was accepted for all statistical analyses. Results There were no difference between infants' vital signs, stress and pain scores according to feeding positions before tube feeding (p > .05). By feeding positions, a statistically significant difference was found between infants' vital signs, abdominal circumference and gastric residuals of infants during tube feeding. Pain and stress levels of infants were found to be significantly higher in the semi‐elevated supine position during tube feeding (p < .05). Conclusions Use of the semi‐elevated right lateral position during tube feeding was found to have a more helpful effect in reducing stress and pain among premature infants when compared with the use of the semi‐elevated supine position.

“…The total internal reliability score of the scale was reported as 0.91 and the internal consistency alpha coefficient as 0.95 (Lundqvist et al, 2014). The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was performed by Ceylan and Bolıs ¸ık (2017), and their permission to use the scale in this study was obtained. The newborns' ALPS-Neo scores were recorded before, during and after the heel lance procedure.…”

Aim This study aimed to compare the effects of breastfeeding, breast milk odour and mother's heartbeat sounds on perceived pain during heel lance procedures in term newborns. Design This was a randomized three‐group experimental study. Methods The sample of the study consisted of 90 newborns. The data were collected using pulse oximeter, fetal hand doppler, voice recorder, loudspeaker, a data collection form and the ALPS‐Neo Pain and Stress Assessment Scale for Newborn Infants. Results During the procedure, newborns in the breast milk odour group had high levels of pain and stress, those in the mother's heartbeat sounds group had mild pain and stress, and those in the breastfeeding group had no pain and stress. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was found between their crying times. This difference was the highest for newborns in the breast milk odour group, followed by the mother's heartbeat sounds and breastfeeding groups, respectively. Conclusion Breastfeeding and mother's heartbeat sounds, which are non‐pharmacological pain relief methods, are effective in neonatal pain management. However, breast milk odour is not effective for pain control in newborns. Further studies should examine the efficacy combinations of these methods.
