Abstract
Research was planned as an experimental study in order to determine the effect of Turkish music performance applied during care in the neonatal intensive care unit on stress indicators, oxygen saturation, peak heart rate, respiration value and length of hospital stay. It was an experimental study (experimental n: 30; control n: 30). Preterm infants were made to listen Turkish music for 30 minutes every day. Stress indicators, oxygen saturation, peak heart rate and respiration values observed prior to the care and during 30-minute Turkish music session were registered in the Patient Follow-up Form. No significant decrease was observed in the lengths of hospital stay, oxygen saturation levels and stress levels of babies in the experiment and control groups. It was also seen that peak heart rates and respiration values did not vary. As a conclusion, it was determined that Turkish music which preterm babies staying in the neonatal intensive care unit were made to listen did not affect peak heart rates and respiration values statistically significantly and they were normal. It was also seen that stress indicators were not affected.
