Overview
Brief Summary
The practices of the neonatal intensive care unit that reduce the stress of premature babies and respond to behavioral cues have a positive effect on the development of newborns. The stress experienced by premature infants affects the baby's behavior and laboratory findings. Massage is an effective application in facilitating the adaptation of premature babies to extrauterine life and ensuring that they are least affected by adverse environmental conditions. Massage in premature babies has an important place in reducing stress and supporting psychological, mental and physiological development as a healthy tactile stimulus.
Detailed Description
This study was planned to examine the effects of massage on stress behaviors and salivary cortisol levels in premature infants. The research was planned on a randomized controlled experimental. In the research, the group to which massage will be procedure is the experimental group, and the group to which the swaddling procedure will be the control group will form.
