EFFECT OF VOCAL SOOTHING ON STRESS IN NEONATES DURING NURSING CARE

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: İnfant Stress

In brief

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of verbal soothing applied by the researcher during routine nursing care in the neonatal intensive care unit on neonatal stress and physiological parameters. Newborns will be divided into two groups, an intervention group and a control group, using simple randomization. Verbal soothing will be applied to the intervention group during routine nursing care (eye care, oral care, diaper changing, probe placement, weight measurement, body care), while no intervention will be performed on the infants in the control group; only routine care procedures will be applied.
