Summary

In our study, the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature babies will be examined. The number of patients to participate in the study was determined as 30. Appropriate babies will be determined and divided into 2 groups by drawing lots. After recording the demographic information of the babies who meet the inclusion criteria, the Baby Motor Performance Test (TIMP) and the baby's motor performance evaluation consisting of postural control and selective extremity movements, and the stress level of the babies will be evaluated by looking at cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hormones. In addition, Field baby massage will be given to the application group. It is seen that there are limited studies in the literature on the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature infants. The results of this research will provide useful information for premature babies hospitalized in intensive care.
