Key Points

This study aims to investigate the relationship between social communication skills and levels of nurturing care received by infants aged 6-24 months.
Correlational quantitative research design employed.
106 mothers of infants aged 6-24 months were sampled using convenience sampling.
Demographic information, Social Communication Area Screening Test, and Nurturing Care Scale were administered via Google Forms.
Female infants scored significantly higher on awareness skills compared to males (Z=1054, p=0.028, r=0.246).
Mothers of female infants had significantly higher nurturing care scores than those of male infants (p=0.033).
A significant positive relationship was found between nurturing care and infants' pre-verbal skills (p<0.001), word usage (p<0.001), and awareness skills (p<0.001).
