Effect of an Incubator Cover on Term and Preterm Neonates' Vital Signs : Effect of an Incubator Cover on Term and Preterm Neonates' Vital Signs: a Prospective Randomized Study

Term and preterm are exposed to many stimuli during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unite (NICU). These stimuli; operation and alarm sounds of devices, continuous and high level ambient lighting. These stimuli can cause deviations in the physiological indicators of newborns, and hearing and vision loss. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of an incubator cover on the vital signs of term and preterm neonates hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: This study is a prospective repeated measure pretest-posttest repeated-measures design. 91 term and preterm newborns who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit and met the inclusion criteria were included in this study.Neonates were admitted to the study if they satisfied all of the following criteria: (1) term and preterms, (2) admitted to NICU, (3) clinically stable, (4) verbal and written consent from the parent. Term and preterm neonates were randomized into two groups (term group = 44, and preterm group = 47 neonates). Vital signs of both groups were measured with and without incubator cover. Measurements were performed three times (0th, 15th, and 30th minute)..
