Preterm Infants Physiological Parameters and Sleep-Wakefulness Status

The infant was cared for, fed and treated by the primary nurse responsible for the infant between 08:30 and 08:55. No intervention was made to the preterm infant between 09:00-12:00 and the infant was allowed to rest. Preterm infants were followed for 3 hours (09:00-12:00) with three-stair positioning pillows. Between these hours, the oxygen saturation and heart rate of the preterm infants in were counted by the researcher with a pulse oximeter device and recorded 18 times in 10 minutes. Sleep-wakefulness status was recorded by taking 15-second recordings with the Actigraphy measuring device.
