Abstract
The prevention of infection in nurseries requires measures related to nursing care in terms of the environment, equipment, personnel and the newborn. In view of the problems related to hospital infection, the objective of the present investigation was to determine the relationship between prescriptive measures for the Prevention of Infection and activities effectively carried out In a Neonatal Admission Unit. Participant observation and semistructured interviews were the strategies used for the investigation which allowed data collection. With this research we could see that prophylactic measures need to be taken together in a collection of activities based on adequate structure and facilities, performed by a cohesive professional team where everybody work towards the same goal. Measures taken isolated do not contribute to the effective accomplishment of prescriptions.
