While the population of the research is preterm infants at the neonatal intensive care unit of a Medicalpark Batman Hospital between January 2018 and February 2019, the sample is 60 preterm infants suitable for inclusion criteria. Research data was collected using Preterm Infant Information Form, Preterm Follow-up Form and Newborn Stress Scale. While massage was applied to the infants in the experimental group three times daily for 10 days, the control group received the usual care. Weight, length and head circumference of infants in both experimental and control group were measured by the researcher on 1., 5. and 10. days. In order to evaluate stess level of the massage applied infants, camera records of the infants were taken 15 minutes before and after the massage on 1., 5. and 10. days. Camera records of the infants in the control group were also taken at the same time with those in the experimental group. Camera records were watched and stress level of the infants were evaluated by two observers blind to the research. The data analyses were carried out using In-class Correlation, Frequency, Levene, Two-Way ANOVA for Mixed Measured, Repeated ANOVA tests
