Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of two different skin cleansing cotton wipes on skin condition during meconium removal diaper care in term newborns.

The following hypotheses were tested: (a) There is no difference between the effect of using wet cotton and baby oil-impregnated skin cleansing cotton on skin condition during meconium removal diaper care in term newborns. (b) There is a difference between the effect of using wet cotton and baby oil-impregnated skin cleansing cotton on skin condition during meconium removal diaper care in term newborns.

Interventions

OTHER

Control group (wet cotton)

The diaper area of the newborns in the control group was cleaned using only cottons moistened with boiled and warmed water. In the preparation stage, the cottons were placed in disposable containers and boiled and warmed water was poured over them to moisten the entire surface of the cottons. Excess water was removed by gently squeezing the cottons. After cleaning, the application was completed by drying the gland area with dry cotton.

OTHER

Experimental group (baby oil-impregnated cotton)

Diaper area cleaning of newborns in the experimental group was performed only with cottons impregnated with baby oil. In the preparation of these cottons, a sufficient amount of baby oil was added to the cottons placed in disposable containers and the entire surface of the cottons was allowed to absorb the oil. Excess oil was removed by gently squeezing the cottons. After the cleaning process was completed, the diaper area was dried with dry cotton wool and the process was terminated.
