In order to evaluate the effect of massage on weight loss in low birthweight and self-efficacy of mothers, massage will be performed for 60 days. Sampling is done in randomized blocks and participants will be asked to fill out the informed consent form, then the mothers who will be satisfied with the participation in the study will be selected. Interviews include: a) Presenting a booklet And a training DVD that is provided by the Neonatal Health Department and the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, 2015, with the collaboration and participation of the Neonatal Health Department of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (Massage of Infants and Infants). It should be noted that the way the massage steps are performed on the DVD will be explained by the researcher in a comprehensible language for mothers. B) Presentation of massage training for mothers; c) conducting 2 one-hour training sessions by the researcher; d) practicing a mother in the presence of a researcher on a simple neonatal model that is available for routine training at the nursing school. An occupational therapist, along with a researcher, will be available to massage and confirm the correct way of massage at all stages of massage. If the mother needs more sessions and more hours for massage training, these trainings will be continued by the researcher until a proper massage is completed. Performing good massage and ensuring that all mothers have the right impression of massage therapy will be controlled by the researcher and occupational therapist through the observation of the massage performed by the moms on the moth. In all phases of film play for massage therapy and practical massage practice, the researcher will be presenting more explanations and solving the problems and questions of mothers along with them. The researcher's contact number is also available to answer questions from mothers 24 hours a day. Massage from the head to the tip of the baby while the baby's body is uncovered or if it has only a cover. Each mother will massage her baby with olive oil for 15 minutes (used for all samples of a commercial type), the study will continue for 60 days.
