“…These are present conditions of our NICUs while family centered care is currently considered as a caring philosophy in which cooperation between nurses and families is of prime importance; this composes functional basis for this philosophy. However, in certain conditions, type of designing and environment allocated to neonatal intensive care unit should not influence efficacy and success of family-centered care on families, infants, and nurses (13,(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

Background: The implementation of developmental care in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) saves neonates' energy and stabilizes their physiology, reduces stress in them and their family, and decreases hospitalization time and healthcare costs. The role of a neonatal nurse is crucial for an appropriate and successful execution of developmental care in NICU. This study was conducted to evaluate nurses' opinions on barriers to effective implementation of developmental care in NICUs of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out on a total of 138 nurses who had a minimum work experience of six months in NICUs. Data collecting tool was a 12-point questionnaire including questions related to 5 core measures of developmental care according to Coughlin's framework as well as questions associated with barriers based on a study by Wu. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The mean age for 138 nurses was 31.76 ± 5.41 years (23-49 years). The mean work history in the NICU was 4.36 ± 3.58 years. Of all nurses, 79.7% were found to be familiar with developmental care practice. Among participants, 56.4% mentioned most part of their familiarity with developmental care; nurses mostly gained familiarity with developmental care via information exchange with nurse colleagues. The majority of participants described that inadequate time, inappropriate work environment in terms of space and equipment of NICU, and too many requests by parents were major barriers to deliver 5 core measures of developmental care in NICUs. Conclusions: The implementation of developmental care was hampered by serious barriers.

“…In multiple studies, researchers explored the facilitators and barriers to implementation of SSC in the NICU, and the results are fairly consistent across studies. Nurses have described the need for education about SSC and training on SSC transfer techniques, as well as development and implementation of evidence-based policies and procedures (Deng, Zhang, Li, Wang, & Xu, 2018;Engler et al, 2002;Strand, Blomqvist, Gradin, & Nyqvist, 2014).…”

“…However, the study by Abdulkarimi et al [27] showed that pregnant mothers did not have a good attitude toward taking care of their newborns due to being addicted, which is not consistent with the ndings of the present study. The studies by Salem in Saudi Arabia [24], Deng in China [28] and Chia in Melbourne [29] assessed nurses' attitudes toward newborn care as low or average. The reasons can be the staff's heavy workload, insu cient education, lack of organizational support and lack of transparent protocols, especially for low birth weight babies.…”

Abstract Background and Purpose: The neonatal period is one of the most sensitive stages of life, requiring proper understanding and attentive care. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of theory of planned behavior-based educational intervention on newborn care in pregnant mothers. Methodology: This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research on 100 pregnant mothers who were randomly assigned to two groups of intervention (N=50) and control (N=50). The data were collected using a theory of planned behavior-based questionnaire. Considering the effective constructs of this theory, the educational intervention was performed in the form of four 60-minute education sessions in one month in the intervention group. One month after delivery, the data were recollected from both groups and analyzed using statistical tests.Findings: The mean and standard deviation of the mothers’ age in both intervention and control groups were 26.14±4.7 and 26.10±5.19, respectively (p=0.48). Before the educational intervention, the behavioral intention of the intervention group was 3.33 (out of 5), which significantly increased to 4.54 after the educational intervention (p<0.001). In addition, the performance of mothers regarding neonatal care was significantly enhanced from 2.86 to 4.64 one month after the delivery (p=0.001). Conclusion: The theory of planned behavior-based educational intervention, along with active follow-ups, led to better and more principled behavioral intention and care provided by pregnant mothers to their newborn infants. Therefore, providing theory of planned behavior-based education in other healthcare centers is recommended.
