Background and AimPrematurity is the main reason for NICU hospitalization. Care of neonates in NICU must be qualified to decrease their stress. The present study aimed to determine and compare the mean of physiologic responses of preterm infants before and during a designed program to decrease stressful stimuli in the NICU.Material and MethodsIn this single-group quasi-experimental study, 31 preterm infants hospitalized in the NICU of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan, who had inclusion criteria, were selected by randomization method and enrolled after parents’ consent. The interventions included decreasing noise and light in the environment and neonatal handling for two consecutive days, each day for 2 hours. Their respiratory rate, SPO2, and frequency of body movements were measured before and during the intervention.
