- Brief Summary
The study was planned to determine the effect of rocking bed applied to preterm newborns on comfort, physiological parameters and cerebral oxygenase level (rSO2).
- Detailed Description
In most cultures, providing a newborn baby on the lap or in a rocking bed is mostly used to calm the baby. However, preterm babies who leave the uterus, which is their accustomed environment, in the early period, are positioned on a fixed bed such as an incubator or jeans in the NICU. These beds may reduce the infant's vestibular knowledge and the NICU environment may deprive infants of sensory stimuli. It has been suggested that because the vestibular system is one of the first systems to become functional, preterm infants may be more sensitive to stimulation of the vestibular system than other systems. When the studies were examined, it was seen that limited studies were conducted in the sample of preterm infants and the studies were not recent. Considering that babies are rocked in most cultures, it is thought that the evidence for the effects of the intervention on the baby is insufficient.

Group Intervention Description Experimental Group: rocking bed group rocking bed group Preterms in the intervention group will lie in a rocking bed for a consecutive two-hour period without treatment and invasive procedures. During 30 minutes of this period, the rocking bed will be in the rocking mode and will stop at the end of 30 minutes.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Information Form First measurement- At 15 minutes after admission in the study In the form prepared by the researchers in line with the literature in order to collect introductory information about the baby; There are questions for the baby such as gender, mode of delivery, weight at birth, Apgar score (1st and 5th value), gestational age at birth, postnatal age, weight in the study, diet, type of food, frequency of vomiting (O'Reilly et al., 2011; Provasi et al., 2021; Zimmerman \& Barlow, 2012). For the final version of the form, opinions were received from 2 nurses and 1 neonatology specialist, who are experts in pediatric nursing.
COMFORT Scale First measurement: T0: just before the intervention The COMFORT Scale was developed by Ambuel et al. (1992) to determine the comfort and distress of patients in the pediatric intensive care unit. The comfort of the newborn is evaluated through 7 parameters, including muscle tone, calmness/agitation, facial tension, body movements, crying, and respiratory response with YKDS. If the newborn receives mechanical ventilator support, "respiratory response" is scored, and if the newborn is breathing spontaneously, "crying" items are scored. For this reason, the overall scoring of the scale is based on 6 items, and the scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 6 and 30. A low score from the scale indicates comfort, while an increase in score indicates pain or distress in the newborn (Kahraman et al., 2014; Van Dijk et al., 2009). The Turkish validity and reliability study of YKDS was conducted by Kahraman et al. in 2014 (Kahraman, Başbakal, \& Yalaz, 2014).
Newborn Follow-up Form First measurement: T0: just before the intervention This form, created by the researchers, contains information on physiological parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation) and cerebral rSO2 values (Provasi et al., 2021; Zimmerman \& Barlow, 2012). The information in the Follow-up Form was evaluated just before the intervention (TO), at the 15th minute of the intervention (T1), at the 30th minute of the intervention (T2), and 15 minutes after the intervention (T3). The form was finalized by taking the opinions of 2 nurses and 1 neonatology specialist, who are experts in pediatric nursing. Physiological parameters of the newborn were followed from the Philips IntelliVue MP40 branded neonatal monitor suitable for neonatal use, and cerebral rSO2 was monitored with the INVOS™ 5100C Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter brand NIRS device available in the clinic.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method COMFORT Scale Fourth measurement: T3: 15 minutes after the end of the intervention The COMFORT Scale was developed by Ambuel et al. (1992) to determine the comfort and distress of patients in the pediatric intensive care unit. The comfort of the newborn is evaluated through 7 parameters, including muscle tone, calmness/agitation, facial tension, body movements, crying, and respiratory response with YKDS. If the newborn receives mechanical ventilator support, "respiratory response" is scored, and if the newborn is breathing spontaneously, "crying" items are scored.
