The study was carried out as randomized experiment to determine the effect of Yakson or Gentle Human Touch method practiced by mothers to preterm newborns on the maternal attachment level and the baby's responses.

Yakson Group

The touch method was taught to the mothers in the Yakson group by the researcher in the first three days after the birth with the training brochure, video and applications on the model that are prepared in accordance with expert opinion.
