Before the mother is discharged from the hospital after delivery (within 24 hours for a vaginal birth and within 72 hours for a cesarean section), a brochure titled "Your Premature Baby" prepared by the researcher will be provided. The content of the "Infant Care and Nutrition" booklet to be given to mothers will include information on breastfeeding, infant care, home environment, screening tests, immunization, common problems, and other related topics.

In the second and third weeks, individualized developmental care training tailored to the needs of the newborn will be provided. This training will cover topics such as environmental adjustments (light, noise, temperature), kangaroo care, infant massage, non-nutritive sucking, and parent-infant bonding.

In the fourth week, the mothers' application of the training and their knowledge levels regarding premature infant care will be assessed.

During the hospitalization of the premature infant, routine nursing education provided in the clinic will be delivered to the mother by the unit nurse. These routine trainings and information sessions include the following:

A brief information session of approximately 5 minutes, usually given to all mothers within the first 24 hours after birth, covering topics such as breast milk expression, breastfeeding positions, and the benefits of breast milk. Mothers selected for kangaroo care are given information regarding hand hygiene and personal cleanliness.

On weekdays, between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., the neonatologist provides information to parents about the general condition of their baby in the NICU.

To prevent ethical concerns arising from the implementation of the study in terms of the control group, after the posttest is completed, the researcher will provide the control group families with the information they need.

An educational program will be implemented for the mothers in the intervention group throughout the hospitalization period of their premature infants, in line with the objectives of the study.

P1:Pretests for the mothers will be completed within the first three days of the infant's admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Mothers will be given a brochure titled "Your Premature Baby", prepared by the researcher, which includes information about the NICU and its staff, visiting hours/conditions, and breast milk expression times.

P2:Education will be provided on the characteristics, feeding, and care of premature infants.

P3:Mothers will receive training on environmental regulations (temperature, light, sound), kangaroo care,non-nutritive sucking, and parent-infant interaction. Each training session will be delivered each lasting no longer than 30-45 minutes.

P4:A final training session will be provided on home care for the premature infant.

Pretests will be administered within the first three days of the mother's admission to the hospital with her premature infant, and posttests will be conducted at the end of the first month. The General Self-Efficacy Scale consists of 17 items. The total score can range from 17 to 85; higher scores indicate a greater belief in self-efficacy.

Pretests will be administered within the first three days of the mother's admission to the hospital with her premature infant, and posttests will be conducted at the end of the first month. The Maternal Attachment Scale consists of 26 items. The total score can range from 26 to 104; higher scores indicate a stronger level of maternal attachment.
