Abstract

Prematurity is a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, as it is the most important cause of neonatal death and the second leading cause of mortality in children under 5 years of age. Therefore, we sought to investigate the humanization of care provided in Neonatal ICUs (NICU), in order to identify the main causes of mortality in preterm newborns and describe what care nurses can perform to increase the chance of survival. of the same. This is an integrative literature review on the care provided by the nursing team to preterm newborns admitted to the Neonatal ICU, where 17 articles from the last 5 years published in the databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) were selected. ) and PUBMED. Studies indicate that it is necessary to improve prenatal care, with a view to preventing and identifying pathologies and identifying possible complications that may present during childbirth. In addition to a systematization of nursing care about each complication that the newborn may present. Furthermore, it was also possible to perceive the need for possible investments in the adoption of new technologies to receive more satisfactory results on this theme. In view of the execution of this work, it became clear that there is a need to implement a more humanized care process in neonatal intensive care units, even in the long term, as long as this issue is addressed in practice and not only in the literature.
