dc.description.abstract(1) Background: During their stays in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), newborns are exposed to many stimuli that disrupt their physiological indicators. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the light-dark cycle created with and without an incubator cover on the vital signs of term and preterm newborns. (2) Methods: A repeated measures design was used in the study utilizing two separate groups, without a control group. The study included 91 neonates hospitalized in a NICU (44 term and 47 preterm). With and without an incubator cover, the newborns' vital signs (heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), and body temperature (BT)) were measured. Three separate measurements were taken. (3) Results: The mean age of the newborns was 37.0 weeks. There was no significant difference between the HR and RR medians of the term and preterms in the incubator undraped and clad measurements (p > 0.05). At the first measurement, the SpO(2) medians of the incubator-covered term and preterms were significantly higher than those of the incubator-covered term and preterms (p = 0.001). (4) Conclusions: The vital signs of the neonates demonstrated variable responses in the measurements when their incubators were covered vs. when they were not covered. However, more research on the effect of the light-dark cycle on their vital signs is required.en_US
