Stress Level, Skin Moisture and Physiological Parameters in the First Bath of Newborns

Objectıve: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of wipe (WG), shower (SG) and tub bath (TG) on stress level, skin moisture and physiological parameters used during the first bath in newborns hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Hypotheses of the Research Hypothesis 01,2,3: There is no difference between wiping baths, wrapping baths and shower baths in terms of their effects on thermoregulation, stress level, skin moisture and physiological parameters of newborns. Hypothesis 11: Newborns who are given a wrap-up bath have a lower stress level than if they are swept and showered. Hypothesis 12: Newborns who are given a wrap-up bath have better skin moisture levels than newborns who are wiped and showered. Hypothesis 13: Physiological parameters (body temperature, heart peak, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) of newborns who are given a wrap bath are less affected than wiping and showering.
