简要总结
The study will be conducted with the Crossover Randomized Controlled Method. The infants who have attained oral feeding in the neonatal intensive care unit will be divided into two groups via randomization in the computer environment. After the randomization, kangaroo care will be applied to the infants in Group 1 during the first feeding hour when they are included in the study and they will be breastfed by their mothers without any other application during the next feeding. On the other hand, no application will be performed on the infants in Group 2 during the first feeding hour when they are included in the study and kangaroo care will be applied to them during the second feeding hour. The infants in both groups will be breastfed by their mothers during the feeding hours.
详细描述
Test weighing is a feeding evaluation method which is used for evaluating the increase in infant's body weight and the amount of food intake before and after breastfeeding. Each gram is evaluated to be equivalent to one cc breast milk. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of kangaroo care applied to the preterm infants that have attained oral feeding and are breastfed by their mothers, on their physiological parameters, feeding condition and body weight increase. After weighing the infant only in his/her diaper before the feeding and applying kangaroo care in which skin-to-skin contact will be provided for half an hour, the mother will breastfeed the infant. The infant will be weighed once again after the feeding without diaper change and the effect of kangaroo care on test weighing and physiological parameters during the feeding process will be evaluated. Sample size of the study has been determined by the power analysis, in line with the results obtained from the studies which have been conducted using a similar research method. According to the analysis results, it has been calculated as 23 for each group and 46 in total. Parents of the infants meeting the study inclusion criteria will be informed both in written and verbally and then the study will be conducted with mothers who agree to participate in the study with their infants.

结局指标
主要结局
Test Weighing
时间窗: Change the body weight before feeding to after feeding at 1 day
The infants' body weight before and after feeding will be measured using an 'Infant Scale'. The infants will be weighed naked only in their diaper before and after feeding, in order to evaluate the amount of milk they have received from their mothers' breast.
次要结局
- Oxygen Saturation(Change the Oxygen Saturation 10 minutes before feeding to 2 minutes after feeding)
- Heart Rate(Change the Heart Rate 10 minutes before feeding to 2 minutes after feeding)
