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.
