Summary

In this randomized controlled study, 90 preterm and term neonates in the NICU of a state hospital were equally divided into 3 groups. The skin integrity of the newborns in all three groups was assessed in terms of the Neonatal Skin Condition Score (NSCS), which was performed a total of 9 times at 48-hour intervals. The skin of the newborns in the first group was moisturized with SSO and with LV in the second group, once a day, a total of 17 times. Moisturizer was not applied to the skin of the third group of newborns (the control group).
