Summary:
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.

Primary Outcome Measures: Body temperature, 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)., Measurements were taken before and after the newborn massage 2 times a day for 4 days.|Pulse, 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)., Measurements were taken before and after the newborn massage 2 times a day for 4 days.|Respiration, 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)., Measurements were taken before and after the newborn massage 2 times a day for 4 days.|Understanding Pulse Oximetry, 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)., Measurements were taken before and after the newborn massage 2 times a day for 4 days.|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.
