This study was planned as a randomized, controlled, experimental study to examine the effect of neonatal massage on the comfort level and vital signs of newborn babies.An answer to the question "Does massage applied to infants in the neonatal period have an effect on vital signs and comfort level?" will be sought.
The sample of the study consisted of a total of 60 infants, 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group, who were hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a City Hospital between December 2022 and April 2023, whose parents' written and verbal consent was obtained for participation in the study after being informed, and who met the inclusion criteria. "Data Collection Form", 'Life Findings Assessment Form' and 'Newborn Comfort Behaviors Scale' prepared by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Newborns in the experimental group were massaged twice a day for 15 minutes 30 minutes after feeding and routine care for 4 days. The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 22.0 program.

| Newborn comfort behaviors scale | Measurements were taken at 10.00 am in the morning. After 30 minutes, neonatal massage was performed. The newborn massage lasted 15 minutes. Measurements were taken again 30 minutes after the massage. Measurements were taken at 22.00 in the evening. Newborn massage lasted 15 minutes. Measurements were taken again 30 minutes after the massage was finished (Measurements were taken before and after the massage performed 2 times a day). The comfort levels of newborn babies before and after massage were checked. Evaluation was made using the neonatal comfort scale. The lowest score that can be obtained from the Neonatal Comfort Behavior Scale is 6 and the highest score is 30. If the total score of the scale is between 14-30, it is emphasized that the baby has pain or distress, the baby is uncomfortable and needs interventions to provide comfort. | Measurements were taken before and after the newborn massage 2 times a day for 4 days. |
