About

In the study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels.

Full description

In the literature, there are many studies on prematurity pain and its relief. Although the vital signs and comfort levels of infants were examined in many applications for infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit, no study was found in which the cerebral oxygenation levels of infants were evaluated by NIRS by listening to lullabies and classical music to premature infants. There is no study in the literature examining cerebral oxygenation, vital signs and comfort parameters together during orogastric tube feeding, which is frequently used in preterm infants. For this reason, in this study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels. It is thought that the study will present new data to the literature and will lead many researches.
