This study aimed to evaluate the effects of multisensory stimulation on pain and physiological parameters resulting from ROP examination in preterm newborns. It was planned as a randomized controlled trial. trying to reach 80 newborns in total. Multisensory stimulation will be applied to the intervention group during the examination. In the control group, routine care will be applied during the examination.
Preterm retinopathy may develop due to intubation in preterm newborns. Therefore, this population undergoes eye examinations at regular intervals. This procedure is painful procedure for babies.
