Abstract

This research focuses on neonatal feeding, recognizing the relevance of nursing professionals in this context to ensure adequate and timely nutritional support for these small patients. The research problem addressed focuses on the need for a thorough understanding of optimal feeding practices in neonatology, modalities such as enteral, parenteral and breastfeeding are considered. Physiological immaturity and susceptibility to various disorders mean that neonates face specific feeding challenges. The main objective is to perform a comprehensive systematic review of the available scientific literature in order to analyze and synthesize the current evidence. Based on the above, the aim is to provide guidance and evidence-based recommendations to improve the quality of nutritional care provided to neonates. The methodology used is qualitative, applying the PICO model to structure the research question. An exhaustive search was carried out in key electronic databases, using relevant terms and descriptors. The main results reveal the importance of personalized nursing care, adapted to the individual needs of each neonate. Breastfeeding is highlighted as a fundamental option, but the relevance of other modalities to address various clinical situations is recognized.
