Brief summary
This study was planned to investigate the effect of paternal kangaroo care and transport on physiologic parameters, anxiety and paternal attachment in preterm infants.
Detailed description

Masking description
In this study, statistician blinding was used for the implementation of randomization and data analysis.
Intervention model description
The study was a single-blind, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental design.Randomization was performed by an independent investigator to avoid bias. Preterm infants were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (1:1) by simple randomization method. Using the permutation block randomization method, 6 permutations were formed as a block of 4 using the letters A and B. The number of samples was divided by the number of permutations (40/6=7) and sorted 7 times from 1 to 6 using a table of random numbers (www.randomizer.org). The combinations generated according to this order (e.g. BBAA (3) ABBA (2)) were prepared in sealed envelopes (40 pieces) by an independent statistician. Which letter represented which group was determined by lottery. To ensure confidentiality, each preterm infant was randomly assigned a numerical code and the results were reported to the researcher collectively in sealed opaque envelopes.
