Background: The hammock positioning within the incubators simulates the intrauterine environment, however, there is little evidence of its benefits and possible risks.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of hammock positioning on behavioral status, vital signs, and pain in very low birth weight preterm newborns.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental/case series study in which premature infants (<1500g) were positioned in supine for one hour in a hammock.
