This study was planned to examine the effect of skin-to-skin contact between the babies of mothers who gave birth by cesarean section and their fathers on the physiological parameters and comfort of the newborn. The research, which is in a randomized controlled experimental design, will be carried out at the Ministry of Health Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital. The spouses and babies of 80 pregnant women who were hospitalized with a planned cesarean delivery in Sakarya Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Child Additional Service Building, will be divided into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. Paternal skin-to-skin contact will be applied to newborns in the intervention group for 45 minutes. Routine care will be applied to the newborns in the control group. Father Descriptive Information Form, Newborn Descriptive Information Form, Skin-to-Skin Contact Monitoring Form (Newborn/Father), Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale will be applied to the cases included in the study, body temperature, oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiration will be evaluated, and salivary cortisol analysis will be performed. The discussion and results of the study will be written in the accompaniment of the findings.
