About

The research was designed as a randomized controlled trial model to examine the effects of affirmation and infant massage taught to the parents of 0-6 month-old infants registered in a Family Health Center and a Private Medical Center in Istanbul, on the sleep quality of their infants and mother-father-infant attachment. The research will be carried out between August and October 2022 by including the parents of the babies in the scope of the study. The Mother-Father and Infant Information Form and the Extended Infant Short Sleep Questionnaire, the Maternal Attachment Scale, and the Father-Infant Attachment Scale will be used to collect the data.

Full description

This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study with the aim of examining the effect of affirmation and massage applied by mothers and fathers to their infants on their infants' sleep quality and maternal-paternal attachment. Infants aged 0-6 months will be included in the study. In the study, 15 babies (d=0.80, G=0.80, p=0.05) will be randomly selected for each group, Experimental Group 1: The Group To which the Mother Applies Affirmation and Massage (A), Experimental Group 2: The Group To which the Father Applies Affirmation and Massage (B) and Control Group (C) will be determined as three groups. Some criteria will be considered in infants selected and not selected into groups.

After 5 weeks, the experimental and control groups will be invited to the center and the results will be compared by measuring with the data collection tools again.
