Abstract
Objective: To analyse the scientific production of comprehensive newborn health care in primary care. Method: A bibliometric study with a quantitative approach using a sample consisting of 27 studies (two from the Virtual Health Library and 25 from PUBMED) published between 2005 and 2015. Results: The highest number of publications on this subject were published in 2010, and the country with the most publications was the United States. Comprehensive newborn care was summarised and presented in the form of a concept map. Conclusions: The bibliometric indicators showed that perinatal care must be provided in primary care; however, there were gaps in the scientific literature regarding approaches related to this care. This work is expected to contribute by increasing health professionals' understanding of comprehensive newborn care by disseminating scientific production and promoting discussion on the subject, thereby reducing child mortality. Keywords: Comprehensive health care; Newborn; Primary Health Care; Bibliometric indicators.
Highlights
In the early days of a child's life, he/she is considered potentially vulnerable to disease
Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) [3] showed that approximately 16 million children died before reaching their fifth birthday in 2015
A journal search in these databases was performed using health terminology available in the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS), which are used as the standard and unified language for indexing scientific studies and journals and which enable searching at various levels of specificity
Summary
In the early days of a child's life, he/she is considered potentially vulnerable to disease. It is essential to adequately monitor the newborn and to identify early risk factors during this period [1, 2]. Keywords Comprehensive Health Care; Newborn; Primary Health Care; Bibliometric Indicators. The first month, the first week and the first hours of life are the most critical for a baby's survival because approximately one million newborns die on their day of birth and approximately 2.8 million die during the first 28 days. Neonatal mortality is a worldwide public health problem and a health care indicator for the perinatal period [4]
