Summary

Purpose: This randomized experimental study aimed to analyze the effect of massage, wipe bathing and tub bathing of late premature newborns on their physiological measurements.

Design and Methods: . This randomized experimental study was conducted on 192 newborns at the gestational week of 34 or higher in the newborn intensive care unit of a university hospital. The researcher applied massage (n: 48), tub bathing (n: 48), and wipe bathing (n: 48) to the newborns. The control group (n: 48) received no intervention except for the routine clinical practices. The newborns' physiological measurements before, immediately after and 30 minutes after the interventions were taken and recorded on the "Newborn Follow-up Form." The statistical analysis was performed using percentages, means, and ANOVA test.
