The babies in the first group received 15 minutes of skin massage with olive oil for 10 days; second group of infants received the massage without use of oil. Infants in the third group did not receive any intervention، ten minutes after each intervention; infants'' vital signs were recorded. Results
The results showed a significant difference of respiratory rate in massage with olive oil group، compared with control groups (P<0. 001). There was also a change of body temperature between both interventions groups with the control group (P<0. 001). Conclusion
