Abstract
to analyze the postnatal care practices of newborns in the family context from the scientific literature. the searches of the integrative literature review were carried out in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and U.S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed) databases. sixteen studies composed the final sample and, from these, two analytical categories emerged: Practices and doubts of families in postnatal care of newborns; and Best practices in postnatal care of newborns. several cultural practices of families differ from scientific recommendations, which can generate risks to the health of newborns. Therefore, it is essential to consolidate educational programs with family members, to improve the quality of care offered and to reduce preventable neonatal deaths in different socio-family contexts.
Highlights
OBJECTIVEIn 2015, at the United Nations General Assembly, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established for 2030 to continue the work begun 15 years earlier through the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
It is estimated that the increase in coverage and quality of preconception, prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal interventions can prevent 71% of neonatal deaths worldwide every year, especially in low and middle income countries, including the promotion of basic preventive care in the family and community(3)
16 studies made up the final sample, as they dealt with postnatal care practices of NBs in the family context (Figure 1)
Summary
In 2015, at the United Nations General Assembly, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established for 2030 to continue the work begun 15 years earlier through the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These global goals aim to guarantee healthy lives and promote well-being for all, some of which refer to neonatal health, directly or indirectly. The quality of care offered to NBs immediately after birth and in the first days of life has priority importance for their survival and for their healthy and harmonious development It is, one of the global challenges to be overcome so that mortality rates in this period are significantly reduced worldwide(1-2). It is estimated that the increase in coverage and quality of preconception, prenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal interventions can prevent 71% of neonatal deaths worldwide every year, especially in low and middle income countries, including the promotion of basic preventive care in the family and community(3)
