Conditions
Summary
The primary objective of this single-center, parallel-group, randomized controlled experimental study is to evaluate the effect of short film and video-based education on the intensive care unit orientation provided to parents of premature infants, specifically assessing its impact on stress levels as the primary outcome and satisfaction and level of involvement in care as secondary outcomes. Using the block randomization method, 72 parents will be assigned to three different groups ("Routine Care" n=24, "Routine Care + Short Film-based Education" n=24, "Routine Care + Video-based Education" n=24). Research Hypotheses: Primary Hypothesis: H1/1: There is a difference between the mean stress scores of parents by group. Secondary Hypotheses: H1/2: There is a difference between the mean scores of parents' participation in care according to groups. H1/3: There is a difference between the mean scores of parents' satisfaction according to groups.

Interventions
Short Film-Based Education: Immediately after admission, parents will first be welcomed in the information room. Here, parents will be shown the short film-based education for the first time. The short film will be shared with parents via a drive link and QR code, ensuring they have continuous access to it. This will allow parents to review the information at home or in the waiting area. + routine care

During the parent's first visit to the unit, they are introduced to their baby's general condition, treatment process, unit environment, rules, medical equipment and devices, healthcare team, basic procedures, etc.
