Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to study the stress levels of parents who have a baby in newborn intensive care. Research is an identifiable and cutting-edge type of research. The data of the study was collected by face-to-face interviews with the data collection tools "Baby Information Form" and "YYBU Mother-Father Stress Scale". The study included 160 parents who had a baby in bed. 70% of the parents involved in the study were parents and 30% were parents. The relationship between the stress scale of the parents and the low-dimensional score average and the weight and week of birth and the negative direction between the age of the parents and the role of the parents has been identified. A weak relationship in the negative direction has been found between the periods of daily vision of the parents' babies and the lower dimension of appearance and behavior. There was a weak relationship in the positive direction between the time of their baby’s first touch and the images and sounds and the time of their baby’s first feeding and the role of parents. It can be said that the baby’s birth weight, the week and the time of seeing the baby are an important contributor to the parent’s stress. The baby has a high level of stress from newborn parents who are under intense care. The low birth weight and week of the baby increases the stress of the parents, while interacting with their babies reduces the stress.
