Summary

Aim: This study planned the intervention and care of term and preterm newborns treated in neonatal intensive care units, including thermoregulation, procedure duration and care with the opening technique of incubator covers.

Method: This non-participatory observational study was conducted between October 2022 and December 2023 with a total of 104 term and preterm newborns who were being treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of S.B.U. Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey. In the study, the Case Report Form prepared by the researcher and based on the research method, dependent/independent variables and inclusion/exclusion criteria was used to collect data. The opening techniques of incubator lids were determined as double intervention window open, single intervention window open and incubator lid fully open. After selected newborns who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, standardisation was ensured by explaining to the nurse who would provide care and intervention the location of the heat probe (right abdominal region) and that the patient should be in the supine position. The incubator temperature, incubator humidity, body temperature and neonatal intensive care room temperature and humidity before the procedure, the technique of opening the incubator lid during the care delivery phase and the intervention applied were recorded on the Case Report Form.
