Brief Summary

In the study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels.

Detailed Description

In the literature, there are many studies on prematurity pain and its relief. Although the vital signs and comfort levels of infants were examined in many applications for infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit, no study was found in which the cerebral oxygenation levels of infants were evaluated by NIRS by listening to lullabies and classical music to premature infants. There is no study in the literature examining cerebral oxygenation, vital signs and comfort parameters together during orogastric tube feeding, which is frequently used in preterm infants. For this reason, in this study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels. It is thought that the study will present new data to the literature and will lead many researches.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Body temperature (°C)First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as baby's body temperature (°C) were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Heart rate (minute)First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as heart rate (min) were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

COMFORTneo ScaleFirst measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

The scale is a Likert type scale developed to determine the pain, distress, sedation and comfort needs of newborns followed in the intensive care unit. Ambuel et al. created the Comfort Scale in 1992 to evaluate the distress of children receiving mechanical ventilator support in pediatric intensive care units. Van Dijk et al. revised the scale in 2009 and made the validity and reliability of the COMFORTneo scale only to measure newborn behavior without vital parameters. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was performed by Kahraman et al. in 2014. The lowest score that can be obtained from the Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale is 6, and the highest score is 30. High scores indicate that the baby is not comfortable and needs interventions to provide comfort.

Newborn Information FormFirst measurement - Before intervention

This form was developed by the researcher using the literature (Loewy et al 2013, Caparros-Gonzalez et al 2018, Azarmnejad et al 2015, Alipour et al 2013). The form was composed of questions including introductory information about the baby, gestational age, postnatal age, gender, birth weight (gr), weight on the day of the intervention, type of delivery, 1st and 5th min apgar score.

Oxygen saturation (%SpO2)First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as Oxygen saturation (%SpO2) were recorded.. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Regional brain oxygen saturation (rSO2) levelsFirst measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as baby's rSO2 levels were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.

Respiratory rate (min)First measurement - one minute before the baby is fed

The form prepared by the researcher; It was prepared in such a way that physiological parameters such as baby's respiratory rate (min) were recorded. The form is designed to record twice, 1 minute before the baby is fed and immediately after the feeding is completed.
