Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of verbal soothing applied by the researcher during routine nursing care in the neonatal intensive care unit on neonatal stress and physiological parameters.

Newborns will be divided into two groups, an intervention group and a control group, using simple randomization. Verbal soothing will be applied to the intervention group during routine nursing care (eye care, oral care, diaper changing, probe placement, weight measurement, body care), while no intervention will be performed on the infants in the control group; only routine care procedures will be applied.

Conditions

  • İnfant Stress

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

vocal soothing

Prior to the afternoon routine care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, baseline assessments will be completed by the selected clinical nurse using the Neonatal Stress Scale and Neonatal Follow-up Form. During the approximately 10-minute routine care procedure (eye care, oral care, diaper change, probe repositioning, and weight measurement), the investigator will administer a verbal reassurance intervention. The intervention involves speaking to the newborn calmly, reassuringly, and lovingly from a distance of approximately 20 cm, maintaining eye contact and minimizing environmental stimuli. The volume will be kept between 45-60 dB. Outcome measurements will be repeated by the same nurse 5 minutes after the start of care and 5 minutes after the completion of care.
