Summary
Background: Airing the diaper area has a positive effect on dermatitis. In addition, it is
reported in the literature that oxygen is effective in wound care. The aim of our study is to
investigate the effect of oxygen on infant diaper dermatitis.
Method: The study population consisted of infants will admit to the neonatal intensive care
unit of a public hospital in Istanbul between May 2022 and September 2022. Sixty newborns who
met the study criteria will randomize and divide into two as the experimental (n=30) and
control (n=30) groups. Personal data form and diaper dermatitis observation form will be used
to obtain the data. All babies' diapers will be changed 8 times a day. Oxygen flow will be
applied to the experimental group for one hour after each diaper change. The degree of diaper
dermatitis will be evaluated every 24 hours.
