Objective: To investigate the perception of mothers on their children undergoing the heel prick blood test, a neonatal biological screening. Methods: Exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach, conducted with sixteen mothers screened in sixteen Family Health Units in the city of Sobral, in 2012. The research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee at the Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú. Results: The mothers were aware of the importance of the heel prick blood test, however, they had a wrong concept about it. They stated that there was guidance about the test existence in the Pregnancy circle, but no guidance was provided during the procedure. They considered some weaknesses in the assistance in the Health Units, but, in the end, they showed satisfaction. Conclusion: The training of professionals who perform the neonatal biological screening is essential so that they promote satisfactory guidance to these mothers that take their children to undergo the test.
