Sponsor's own description
This completed study evaluated the effects of a bathing care package on the comfort level and skin hydration of preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Preterm infants, born before 37 weeks of gestation, often experience skin dryness and discomfort due to their immature skin barrier. The bathing care package involved a gentle bathing procedure using warm water at a specific temperature, performed in a basin with a wrapping technique. This procedure was carried out under controlled room temperature and humidity conditions to maximize infant comfort. Comfort-enhancing techniques were also applied during and after the bath. Preterm infants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group receiving the bathing care package or the control group receiving the standard bathing care routinely practiced in the NICU. Data collected throughout the study demonstrated that the bathing care package helped maintain skin hydration and preserve comfort levels better than the standard care. The findings contribute to improving neonatal nursing protocols aimed at enhancing the well-being of preterm infants. All procedures were conducted with informed consent from parents or legal guardians and approved by the institutional ethics committee.
