that starts after the birth and covers the first 28 days. The newborn, who is subjected to a series of
physiological changes during the transition from intrauterine life to extrauterine life, tries to adapt to the
external environment. To be able to achieve this; It depends on the genetic characteristics, the condition
of the intrauterine environment, the care received during the labor and neonatal period. Most of them get
through this process of attunement without any problems. However, 5% of term newborns and more of
those who are preterm need serious delivery room support to get through this stage. Further resuscitation
attempts are applied to 1% of them for their survival. The clinical appearance and vital signs of the
newborn in the first 24 hours, who perform their first respiration and adapt their circulation to the
outside world, are extremely important. Attention should be paid to the fact that the applications made
during this whole process negatively affect the adaptation process of infants. The attentive care provided
by a well-trained medical team supports the health and harmony of the newborn in the best way. The
Midwifery care given in the delivery room with up-to-date information; It is an important step that has
positive effects on reducing morbidity and mortality rates in newborns, providing the right education
and counseling services to parents, providing better quality health services in a shorter time, increasing
