Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kangaroo care on the vital signs of infants undergoing cardiac surgery.

Hypothesis 1 (H1): Oxygen saturation levels of babies who are given kangaroo care are higher than babies who are not given kangaroo care.

Hypothesis 2 (H2): The peak heart rate of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care.

Hypothesis 3 (H3): The respiratory rate of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care.

Hypothesis 4 (H4): The arterial blood pressure of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care.

Hypothesis 5 (H5): The pain score of infants who received kangaroo care is lower than infants who did not receive kangaroo care.

Interventions

OTHER

Standard care

The babies in this group will receive the standard care of the unit. The vital signs and pain scores of the babies will be recorded before the mother's visit for seven days. The vital signs and pain scores of the infants who received the standard care of the unit during one hour, which is the time of the mother's visit, will be recorded every 15 minutes for a total of 4 times. The vital signs and pain scores of the infant will be recorded in the first 15 minutes after the mother's visit.

OTHER

Kangaroo care

Kangaroo care will be applied to the experimental group for seven days. Kangaroo care will be started for the babies in the intervention group when the baby is extubated, when the baby starts oral feeding and when the chest incision is closed. Consistent with previous research, mothers will provide skin-to-skin contact for at least 1 hour per day for seven days, starting immediately after feeding. The vital signs and pain scores of the babies will be recorded during the kangaroo care of the mother for seven days. During the kangaroo care, vital signs and pain scores of the infants will be recorded every 15 minutes for a total of 4 times. The vital signs and pain scores of the infant will be recorded in the first 15 minutes after the mother's visit.
