Summary

The study was administered in a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the effects of material positioning and hand-face maneuver on physiological parameters and stress symptoms in preterm newborns with gestational weeks 28 to 32. The sample of the study consisted of 60 preterm infants who met the selection criteria in newborn intensive care unit between September 2018 and July 2020.The newborns in the control group (n=30) were given a "nesting with a rolled up blanket" position, as in the routine of the ward. The Experimental Group1 (n=30) was given positions using a "positioner" and the same newborns (Experimental2) was given positions using "positioner and hand-face maneuver" on the second day of the study.

Detailed description

The universe of the study consisted of preterm newborns patients who met the selection criteria in newborn intensive care unit.The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study. In order for the groups to be distributed homogeneously, the order produced by a computer program (http://www.randomizer.org/) was used. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and agree to participate in the study assigned to the experimental and control groups according the randomization list. The control variable of the study is demographic characteristics of the baby. The dependent variables of the study are physiological parameters, newborn position assesment tool score and newborn stress scale score In the research, "Information and follow-up form" prepared by the researcher in line with the literature was used as data collection tools. Newborn Position Assesment Tool and Newborn Stress Scale were also used

Conditions

• Position

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Tortoise Positioning Material Group	Preterm infants were placed in the nest with positioning material and placed in lateral and prone positions The positioning material and hand-face maneuver were applied together to the preterm infants in the Positioning Material Group 2, and they were given lateral and prone positions in this way
