Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
In this group, preterm infants will be recorded with a camera for 20 minutes between 13:00-13:20, 19:00-19:20, and 01:00-01:20, after their routine care and feeding have been completed, with no interventions applied to the baby.
No interventions assigned to this group
Maternal Heartbeat
Researchers will schedule a time with the mother within 48 hours after the baby's birth to record the heartbeat. The recording of the mother's heartbeat will be done when the mother's mood is stable and the environment is quiet. A Doppler fetal heart monitor will be used to detect the mother's heartbeat. After ensuring a regular and stable heart rate, the mother's heartbeat will be recorded for 15 minutes using a recording device.

Gentle Human Touch
GHT will be applied to the babies at the designated times.
Gentle Human Touch
the trained NICU nurse will place one hand's fingertips on the baby's forehead along the brow line, while the other hand will be placed around the baby's lower abdomen
Maternal Heartbeat and Gentle Human Touch
For this group, maternal heartbeat will be played and GHT steps will be applied simultaneously at the designated times. Camera recording will start 2 minutes before the intervention and continue for an additional 2 minutes after the intervention.
