Lullaby and Classic Music's Effect on Vital Findings and Comfort

The Effect of Lullaby and Classic Music to Prematures During Orogastric Tub Feeding on the Baby's Cerebral Oxygenization, Vital Findings and Comfort

In the study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels.

In the literature, there are many studies on prematurity pain and its relief. Although the vital signs and comfort levels of infants were examined in many applications for infants hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit, no study was found in which the cerebral oxygenation levels of infants were evaluated by NIRS by listening to lullabies and classical music to premature infants. There is no study in the literature examining cerebral oxygenation, vital signs and comfort parameters together during orogastric tube feeding, which is frequently used in preterm infants. For this reason, in this study, lullabies and classical music played to preterm babies during orogastric tube feeding; It will be tried to determine the effect on cerebral oxygenation level, vital signs and comfort levels. It is thought that the study will present new data to the literature and will lead many researches.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Being at 28-34 weeks of gestation,
• Stability (in terms of cerebral oxygenation, pain and vital signs) during enrollment,
• Not having any additional diagnosis other than the diagnosis of prematurity,
• Indication of bolus feeding with an orogastric tube,

Exclusion Criteria:

• Congenital anomaly in the baby
• Diagnosed hearing impairment in the baby
• Having a history of an invasive procedure (such as a surgical operation) that will disrupt the baby's long-term comfort and cause pain
• The baby is receiving oxygen therapy or the baby is on mechanical ventilation
• Any history of disease affecting cerebral oxygenation (such as intraventricular hemorrhage, neonatal convulsions).
