Brief Summary

The protection of the body integrity of the newborn is very important in terms of the development of physical and mental health and social health. Failure to protect the skin integrity of newborns and not paying attention to the clinical findings on the skin may cause morbidity/mortality. Attitudes of nurses can affect the evaluation of newborn skin negatively and/or positively. It was determined as the development of an attitude scale for newborn nurses to evaluate newborn skin and examining the factors affecting their attitudes. In line with this purpose, an attitude scale for newborn nurses regarding the evaluation of newborn skin will be developed and nurses' attitude levels, sociodemographic variables that are related to attitude and cause significant difference can be determined.
