Key Points

  • The research aims to assess the impact of paternal skin contact on newborn physiological parameters and comfort levels while measuring cortisol.
  • Conducted a randomized controlled study involving paternal skin contact with newborns.
  • Measured physiological parameters such as heart rate and temperature.
  • Assessed comfort levels of newborns and salivary cortisol levels.
  • Paternal skin contact positively influences physiological parameters in newborns.
  • Newborns exhibited increased comfort levels with skin contact from fathers.

Abstract

Paternal SSC with newborns has positive effect on physiological parameters and patient comfort. However, it is recommended that salivary cortisol levels be studied in larger samples with repeated and long-term measurements.
