The Effect of Skin Color Scale Material Used by Families at Home in the Postnatal Period on the Process of Hospital Admission Due to Jaundice and Breastfeeding Parameters
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of the Skin Color Scale Material used by families in the postnatal period on the hospital admission process due to jaundice and breastfeeding parameters. Although neonatal jaundice is mostly physiological, it can lead to serious complications such as kernicterus if not detected in time. Visually supported educational materials developed to provide early awareness can help families both to regularly monitor the baby's skin color and to notice the signs of jaundice in time.

Experiment Group
The Skin Color Scale Material (S-CARD / Neonatal Jaundice Monitoring Card) developed by the researcher and its user guide will be provided; verbal and visual training on the use of the material will be provided. Parents will be asked to observe their baby's skin color for the first 7 days after birth and record it on the monitoring card.
control group
Families in this group will only receive routine, verbal information from the unit upon discharge. Both groups will be monitored similarly, but training on the use of the Skin Color Scale Material (S-CARD / Neonatal Jaundice Monitoring Card) will only be given to the experimental group.
