This study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of two positions that may have an effect on pain, stress, comfort and physiological parameters in premature infants.

Providing adequate therapeutic positioning in preterms can minimize postural abnormalities and asymmetries associated with prematurity and NICU stay, as well as support the development of spontaneous and functional motor abilities of infants. Studies show that positioning directly affects cardiovascular, respiratory and sleep-wake states. When the literature is examined; Although the vital signs, pain levels and comfort levels of babies in the NICU have been examined in many applications, the number of studies comparing the hammock position and Kangaroo care in preterms is very limited. Therefore, this study will try to determine the effect of hammock position and kangaroo care on the pain, stress, comfort and physiological parameters of the infants. It is thought that the study will provide new data to the literature and lead to many researches.
