The first and fifth minute apgar mean scores of
the babies were found as 7.00±1.00, 9.00±2.00 in
intervention group and 7.00±2.00, 9.00±1.00in
usual care group. The average length of staying
of the babies is 3.00±1.00 day in intervention
group and 3.00±4.00 dayin usual care group. No
statistically significant difference was found
between intervention and usual care groups in
terms of the first minute apgar (p>.05), fifth
minute apgar (p>.05), and the length of baby
(p>.05) and mother’s (p>.05) staying at hospital
(Talbe 4).
