Premature Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Delayed First Bathing on Skin Barrier Function, Body Temperature and Comfort in Late Preterm Infants
It is still unknown when the first bath should be done in premature newborns. Investigators think that delaying the time of the first bath compared to the time in the clinic will show some positive changes in preterm newborns.
Bath procedures and timing to reduce neonatal stress and protect the skin barrier should be preferred. This study aims to investigate the effect of delaying the first bath on skin barrier function, comfort and body temperature in late preterm infants. The study, between March 2020 and March 2021 in Turkey / Antalya will be held in three central provinces in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Skincare is routinely performed between 08.00 and 09.00 in the form of a tub bath. This study sampled 80 stable, late preterm infants who were cared for in the NICU. This example was considered to be sufficient based on a sample size calculation in PS Power and Sample Size Calculations (Version 3.0). Allocations about the allocation were provided only by the lead researcher. Participants were given a sequential number placed in an opaque, closed envelope by the researcher who received the signed parental informed consent. When the participant is planned to take a bath, the researcher will be blind. The researcher who will apply the bathing process will not know the postnatal age of the baby when bathing. And the outcome evaluation of the participants was blinded. The participants were randomly divided into two groups. The bath will be applied to one group within the first 48 hours and the other group within 48-72 hours. The participants will then be placed in a preheated incubator that varies according to the weight and age of the participant. To compensate for such differences, the heads of all participants will be placed at a height of 30 degrees in the right lateral position after bathing. After the bath, participants were left without intervention or contact for about 10 minutes or until they settled before being evaluated. The participant Baths Work Record, a data collection tool, was designed specifically for this study. The instrument includes a series of scales for measuring outcome variables and demographic information (age, sex, mode of delivery, gestational age, birth weight, bodyweight at work, etc.). Outcome measurements include transepidermal water loss for skin barrier function, neonatal comfort behavior, and body temperature. Those responsible for data collection will be blinded in the allocation of the participants they evaluate. The ComfortNeo scale will be used to measure the comfort and pain intensity of newborns. The outcome criteria will be evaluated in three separate cases (10 minutes before bath, 1 minute and 10 minutes after bath). SPSS 20.0 and SAS (ver. 9.3) will be used and statistical significance will be set to p <0.05. The data will be presented as means and standard deviations for continuous variables and as frequencies for categorical variables. For participant characteristics such as birth type and gender, the chi-square test will be used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the groups. Participant characteristics such as birth weight and body weight during the study will be evaluated for significant intergroup differences using a one-way ANOVA test. In order to compare different phases, the measurement parameters (comfort score, body temperature) in the baths will be averaged separately. To analyze both intra-group and intra-group differences, repeated variance analysis followed by Bonferroni's post hoc test. ;
