This study aimed to examine the effect of smell on preterm infants according to the waiting time (20, 30 and 40 sec) after alcohol-based hand sanitizer was applied to the hands.

This review critically evaluates the microbial risks, transmission routes, and cultural context of using expressed human milk as a topical remedy for neonatal eye conditions, and to reconcile its traditional use with current evidence-based neonatal care.

To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational-behavioral intervention for mothers of hospitalized preterm infants in reducing maternal stress and anxiety, and improving parent-infant bonding when compared to a group receiving standard care.

To investigate the effect of Infant-Driven Feeding (IDF) on feeding outcomes and growth among preterm infants with a gestational age of 32 to 37 weeks at birth in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

To assess whether adding 5 minutes of slower, nutritive suction cycles to a standard 15-minute breast pump initiation program increases expressed milk volume during the first 4 days postpartum.

To investigate the metabolic and immunologic impacts of transitioning from standard to improved parenteral nutrition in premature low birth-weight (PLBW) infants, and to provide evidence for optimized clinical nutrition support strategies.

To examine the effect of the Premature Infant Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI) on breastfeeding duration after discharge, as well as weight gain, up to 12 months of noncorrected age.

Positive sensory and movement experiences that the infant is exposed to in a safe and familiar environment help them cope with future stressors and support physiological regulation.

This scoping review explores the impact of face-to-face Breastfeeding Peer Counselor (BFPC) interventions on exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) prevalence at six months, maternal self-efficacy, and satisfaction.

Breastfeeding provides the necessary nutrition and immune support for infants' growth, development, and defense mechanisms. The Theory of Planned Behavior is a commonly used framework to study factors influencing breastfeeding intentions.

In vitro studies suggest that oral zinc supplementation reduces enterohepatic circulation of unconjugated bilirubin and serum bilirubin levels. Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have assessed the efficacy of oral zinc supplementation in reducing bilirubin levels and the need for phototherapy. However, the evidence remains conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effects of oral zinc supplementation in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

This sequential mixed-method study explores neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses' awareness, attitudes, and perceptions regarding do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.

Venipuncture is a common and painful procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Thus, there is a necessity for cost-effective, safe, and nonpharmacological interventions to alleviate pain associated with frequent and painful procedures in infants.

This qualitative descriptive study examines racial disparities in human milk feeding by exploring nurses' experiences in providing support to Black parents during the immediate postpartum period.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between attitudes toward sexuality during pregnancy and sexual quality of life.

To develop and validate a clinical simulation scenario for postpartum hemorrhage management.

The objective of the present research is to develop the "Postpartum Breastfeeding Comfort Scale" and evaluate its psychometric properties.

To evaluate the effect of lactation simulation model-based (LSM-based) training on laid-back breastfeeding (semi-sitting or semi-lying) and upright position (sitting upright) breastfeeding given in the antenatal period on breast problems and breastfeeding.

Surfactant therapy is traditionally delivered via endotracheal tube during mechanical ventilation. Newer methods, such as aerosol, thin catheter, and laryngeal mask airway administration, show potential for reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) compared to standard approaches like intubate-surfactant-extubate (INSURE). This review evaluates whether less-invasive surfactant administration is as effective as endotracheal intubation in reducing BPD incidence in preterm infants.

The implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAC) is associated with significant improvement in maternal outcomes; however, its impact on neonatal outcomes remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the impact of ERAC protocol on neonatal outcomes.
