Filter by:As a result of technological advances in the field of newborns, the survival rates of very young babies have increased. With this situation, there was a need to develop new evidence-based application areas in premature babies. Nurses provide evidence-based care in many areas to term and preterm babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. One of these areas is the skin, which is known as 13% of the newborn's body weight and constitutes the largest part of the organism. Before skin care is given, knowing the skin characteristics of the newborn and performing skin care in accordance with these features will provide more benefits for the baby. The skin of newborns is different from adults in terms of both function and function. In addition, skin characteristics of term and preterm babies also differ according to the week of delivery. Skin basically enables the newborn to explore the world by thermoregulation, as a barrier against microorganisms and chemical harmful substances, maintaining fluid-electrolyte balance, vitamin D production, fat storage and sensory-touch. The immature skin of the newborn cannot fully fulfill these functions. In another study conducted between sunflower oil and the control group, it was stated that rash and peeling were less common in the sunflower oil experiment group compared to the control group. As a result, evidence-based knowledge of nurses about neonatal skin care should be increased in neonatal intensive care units, and appropriate nursing care should be given especially to premature newborns who are at risk due to hospitalization. Even if there is no routine procedure in our service, baby oil is massaged during care hours, but there is no study on this. The aim of this study is to contribute to the neonatal skin care literature and to provide appropriate evidence-based care in the service routine.
