The Effect of Smelling the Scent of Infants Hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

The infants who met the selection criteria were wrapped with OOCIE upon admission and remained in contact with OOCIE for approximately 24 hours without affecting their routine care and position. After 24 hours, when the mother came for the first visit, the mother and baby introductory information form, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Parent Stress Scale, Inadequate Milk Perception Scale, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale and NICU Parental Beliefs Scale pretest were administered. During the visit, the mother received the OOKIE wrapped around her baby in the incubator and stayed with the mother for 3 days and the mother could smell her baby's odor whenever she wanted.
