Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of the Study: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of bladder stimulation technique and bathing method on urine collection in term infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. Content of the Study: This study will consist of 3 groups. Babies in the 1st group, the control group, will be fed only with breast milk or formula, and after 20 minutes, a bladder will be inserted and urination will be expected. The babies in the second group, the bladder stimulation technique application group, will also be placed in a urine bag 20 minutes after feeding. Then the bladder stimulation technique will be applied. This technique; consists of two consecutive maneuvers. In the first maneuver, the bladder (Urine Bag) is stimulated by hitting the suprapubic (lower parts of the abdomen) area for 30 seconds at a frequency of 100 touches per minute. In the second maneuver, a 30-second circular massage is applied to the paravertebral region (located next to the spine). Babies in the 3rd group, the bathing group, will be given a bath under running water for no longer than 5 minutes before feeding. After the bath, the baby will be fed, and a urine bag will be inserted 20 minutes after the feeding. Urine urination will be monitored by running the stopwatch immediately after the urine bag is placed on all babies. When the baby urinates, the stopwatch will be stopped and the time and success of urination will be recorded on the observation form by the researcher.
