Hat-Type Glasses Intervention in Phototherapy-Related Newborns

Brief Summary

Aim : "This study aims to determine the effect of using a cap with protective eye goggles in term newborns undergoing phototherapy on the duration of phototherapy, the newborns' comfort level, and parental satisfaction." Study Design: This study has a randomized controlled, single-blind experimental design. Variables of the Study Dependent variables: Pulse and saturation values, Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale Score, bilirubin level, parental satisfaction level, duration of phototherapy. Independent variables: Demographic variables related to parents and newborns, the hat-with-goggles intervention. Limitations of the Study * The fact that the study data were collected from a single center constitutes a limitation. * The hat-with-goggles intervention can only be applied to infants in primary care settings and those placed in cot beds, which represents another limitation. 4.2.
