Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Lullaby

The mothers in this group were asked to sing a lullaby while their babies were fed with an orogastric tube. Mothers were released on lullabies. They were encouraged to sing the lullaby they knew or loved the most. The mother was given a sound decibel meter. Mothers were asked to do an application before going to the baby. It was taught that the number of sound decibels should not exceed 40 decibels while singing a lullaby. Later, the mother was taken to the baby's incubator at feeding time. She was seated in a chair. The working status of the decibel meter was checked and given to the mother. When the feeding started, the mother started singing lullabies and continued to sing until the feeding was finished. Attention was paid to aseptic techniques during all procedures. A single mother was asked to sing a lullaby at each feeding, and the baby of the mother who sang only a lullaby was included in the study.

BEHAVIORAL

Classic music

The babies in this group were given classical music recitals during feeding. The classical music piece Mozart-Baby Smart was preferred because it was seen to be used in the literature (Keidar 2014). Mozart-Baby Smart was loaded into the music player by the researcher before the feeding process. Before feeding, the decibel meter was disinfected by surface disinfectant and placed on sterile sponge in an incubator 10 cm away from the baby's head. The music player was turned on, not exceeding 40 decibels, by adjusting the decibel meter at the time of starting the feeding, and classical music was continued during the feeding. When the feeding was finished, the music player was turned off and the incubator was taken out. Attention was paid to acetic techniques during all procedures. Ambient sounds were tried to be controlled as much as possible so that the baby would not be affected by different sounds when listening to classical music.
