The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kangaroo care on the vital signs of infants undergoing cardiac surgery.
Hypothesis 1 (H1): Oxygen saturation levels of babies who are given kangaroo care are higher than babies who are not given kangaroo care.
Hypothesis 2 (H2): The peak heart rate of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care.
Hypothesis 3 (H3): The respiratory rate of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care.
Hypothesis 4 (H4): The arterial blood pressure of infants who receive kangaroo care is lower than infants who do not receive kangaroo care.
Hypothesis 5 (H5): The pain score of infants who received kangaroo care is lower than infants who did not receive kangaroo care.
Kangaroo care has been found to be a feasible intervention before and after cardiac surgery to support infants with congenital heart disease, but it has been stated that formal standards and procedures need to be developed to transform kangaroo care into practice. Skin-to-skin contact is a low-cost, low-risk intervention that supports comfort and contributes to physiological stability in infants before and after neonatal cardiac surgery. It positively affects the pain level of infants. Clinical studies on the application of kangaroo mother care on infants undergoing cardiac surgery are limited in the literature.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control group (standard care) | Other | The babies in this group will receive the standard care of the unit. |

| Experimental group (Kangaroo care) | Experimental | Kangaroo care will be applied to the experimental group for seven days. |

| Standard care | Other | The babies in this group will receive the standard care of the unit. The vital signs and pain scores of the babies will be recorded before the mother's visit for seven days. The vital signs and pain scores of the infants who received the standard care of the unit during one hour, which is the time of the mother's visit, will be recorded every 15 minutes for a total of 4 times. The vital signs and pain scores of the infant will be recorded in the first 15 minutes after the mother's visit. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in oxygen saturation | Oxygen saturation will be monitored. | Data will be collected immediately before care is given, at 15 minutes during care, and at 15 minutes after care is given. The change in these time intervals will be evaluated. |
| Change in heart rate | Heart rate will be monitored. | Data will be collected immediately before care is given, at 15 minutes during care, and at 15 minutes after care is given. The change in these time intervals will be evaluated. |
| Change in respiratory rate | Respiratory rate will be monitored. | Data will be collected immediately before care is given, at 15 minutes during care, and at 15 minutes after care is given. The change in these time intervals will be evaluated. |
| Change in blood pressure | Blood pressure will be monitored. | Data will be collected immediately before care is given, at 15 minutes during care, and at 15 minutes after care is given. The change in these time intervals will be evaluated. |
| Change in level of pain | The infants' pain level will be measured using the CRIES(Crying, Requires O2, Increased vital signs,Expression, Sleepless). The scale is used in the evaluation of postoperative pain in premature babies (between 32-36 weeks of gestation) and postoperative pain. Starting from the thirty-second gestational week, it is preferred in neonates and children between 6 months, especially in intensive care units.The Scale was developed by Krechel & Bildner, 1995. Crying status, oxygen saturation, heart rate and/or blood pressure, facial expression and sleep status are the parameters used in the evaluation. Each parameter is scored out of two; a score of 3-4 indicates mild to moderate pain; values of five and above indicate severe pain. |

| Kangaroo care | Other | Kangaroo care will be applied to the experimental group for seven days. Kangaroo care will be started for the babies in the intervention group when the baby is extubated, when the baby starts oral feeding and when the chest incision is closed. Consistent with previous research, mothers will provide skin-to-skin contact for at least 1 hour per day for seven days, starting immediately after feeding. The vital signs and pain scores of the babies will be recorded during the kangaroo care of the mother for seven days. During the kangaroo care, vital signs and pain scores of the infants will be recorded every 15 minutes for a total of 4 times. The vital signs and pain scores of the infant will be recorded in the first 15 minutes after the mother's visit. |
