Brief Summary

Congenital heart diseases, the most common type of congenital anomalies, which affect approximately 3% of all live births and are the second most common cause of death in infants, are associated with 7% of all neonatal deaths. Among the interventions that can be applied with family-centered care of newborns followed in the intensive care unit, infant massage and safe wrapping are suggested interventions for mother-infant bonding and parental self-efficacy through the infant's sense of touch. Objective: The aim of this study was to increase mother-infant attachment, increase the self-efficacy of the mother by taking an active role in baby care, reduce the baby's pain and stabilize vital signs, and increase the adaptation of the baby and the mother to the process and reduce the hospitalization day. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effects of maternal massage and safe swaddling on attachment, self-efficacy, and vital signs of the infant in infants undergoing cardiovascular surgery (CVC). The sample of the study, which was conducted in an experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group, consisted of 36 infants and their mothers who had CVC between December 2020 and January 2022 and were hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Infant massage (n:12), safe swaddling (n:12) and control group (n:12) mothers were determined by computerized randomization. After the mother-infant pre-assessment questionnaire, Parental Self-Efficacy Scale (PSES) Scale, and Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) pre-tests were applied to the mothers, infant massage and safe swaddling instruction were given to the mothers. The hemodynamic findings of the infant were recorded before, during and after the practices. Post-tests were applied before hospital discharge.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Safe swaddling method and body temperature

    Body temperature is infants who have undergone cardiovascular surgery and whose mothers applied safe swaddling are more stable compared to the control group.

    "until discharge from intensive care" or "between 36,6-37,5 degrees"

  • Safe swaddling method and body temperature
