Sponsor's own description

In this study, the bath applied to term babies in two different orders (first washing the body and lastly the head, and the classical method in which the whole body is washed starting from the head first), the babies' stress level, physiological parameters (body temperature, pulse, respiration, O2 saturation), procedure time (time of bathing). ) was planned to determine its effect on the calming time of babies.

The effects of two different bathing methods given to healthy and term babies on the babies' stress level, physiological parameters (body temperature, pulse, respiration, O2 saturation), procedure time (bathing time), and calming time of the babies will be compared.
