“…This type of dermatitis occurs due to increased temperature and humidity through diaper use, which leads to maceration of the skin, leaving it vulnerable to irritation caused by contact with feces and urine (3) . Some of the most common risk factors for developing dermatitis are frequent bowel movements, the use of antibiotics, and malabsorption; constant evaluation contributes to early detection and proper treatment (10) .…”

“…At birth, the stratum corneum of newborn children resembles that of adults, with adherent cells, while in preterm infants there are few layers of stratum corneum and the cells are thinner and less compact (2)(3) . In both preterm and newborn children the dermis has fewer elastic fibres, and the dermal-epidermal junction is poor and has high permeability due to a higher body surface area to weight ratio.…”

Treatment of skin lesions in newborn children: meeting the needs of nursing staff RESUMEN Objetivo: Conocer, junto al equipo de enfermería, los cuidados necesarios para el tratamiento de lesiones de piel en recién nacidos internados en una Unidad Neonatal. Método: Investigación cualitativa del tipo Convergente Asistencial. Los datos fueron obtenidos por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, realizadas en los meses de noviembre a deciembre de 2012, en la Unidad Neonatal de un hospital del Sur de Brasil. Participaron de la investigación cuatro auxiliares de enfermería, seis téc-nicos de enfermería y cuatro enfermeras. Resultados: Se originaron tres categorías: dudas acerca de lo que se puede utilizar en el recién nacido; la estancia hospitalaria puede causar lesiones en la piel del recién nacido; y el conocimiento del cuidado promueve autonomía profesional. Conclusión: Se hace urgente la necesidad de conocimiento del equipo acerca del tratamiento de las lesiones, a fin de proporcionar una atención más segura al recién nacido y favorecer la autonomía del profesional enfermero en la puesta en marcha del cuidado. DESCRIPTORES ABSTRACTObjective: to understand, together with nursing staff, the care needed to treat skin lesions in newborn children hospitalized in a neonatal unit. Method: qualitative research, of the convergent care type. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, which were conducted from November to December 2012, in the neonatal unit of a hospital in southern Brazil. The participants were four auxiliary nurses, six nursing technicians and four nurses. Results: the following three categories were designated: questions about what can be used in relation to newborn children; hospitalization can cause lesions on the skin of newborn children; and knowledge about care promotes professional autonomy. Conclusion: there is an urgent need for staff to know more about the treatment of skin lesions, which would provide safer care for newborn children and would also support the autonomy of professional nurses in providing that care.

“…1,[13][14] In relation to the use of soap, it was agreed that neutral soap should be used with caution in the first bath, undertaking a careful light wash of the NB, and that, in the other baths, above all in the neonatal period (until the 28 th day), soap should not be used. [15][16] It was agreed that the technique for undertaking the bath would be that of the humanized Japanese bath, encouraging the participation of the parents in this procedure. [17][18] In the third workshop, it was agreed that the NB, if born in good clinical conditions, should be dried delicately with warmed sheets and that a little hat should cover his scalp; that the mother and NB should be covered with a blanket to warm them, and that the NB should remain there in skin-to-skin contact with the mother for one hour to promote breast-feeding and the bond, any type of intervention being avoided in this period.…”

This experience report aimed to describe the development of the educational practice undertaken with nurses for the elaboration of a care proposal directed towards newborns in the obstetric center of a public hospital, based in good practices. It describes: strategies, stages of the workshops, consensuses of the care provided to the newborn, and evaluation of the process. The workshops were constituted of: embracement; interacting and raising awareness; planning, validating and defining paths; problematizing the issue; integrating; sharing and defining consensuses; and reviewing and redirecting conducts. The issues problematized were: divergences relating to skin-to-skin contact, clamping of the umbilical cord, administration of the credé method and konakion (phytomenadione), and bathing, among others. The group educational practice was an important instrument for the nurses to reflect critically on and problematize their health practices collectively, and is configured as a space for democratic relationships favorable to the socialization of knowledges, partnerships, negotiations, consensuses regarding the care and continuous education, allowing the creation and recreation of knowledges, with a view to transforming and innovating the care for the newborn.

PRÁTICA EDUCATIVA COM ENFERMEIRAS VISANDO O CUIDADO HUMANIZADO AO RECÉM-NASCIDO NO CENTRO OBSTÉTRICORESUMO: Relato de experiência, objetivando descrever o desenvolvimento da prática educativa realizada com enfermeiras para elaboração de proposta de cuidados direcionada aos recém-nascidos no centro obstétrico de um hospital público, fundamentada nas boas práticas. Descrevem-se: estratégias, etapas das oficinas, consensos dos cuidados prestados ao recém-nascido e avaliação do processo. As oficinas constituiram-se em: acolher; interagir e sensibilizar; planejar, validar e definir caminhos; problematizar o tema; integrar; compartilhar e definir consensos; e rever e redirecionar condutas. Os temas problematizados foram: divergências relativas ao contato pele a pele, clampeamento do cordão umbilical, administração do credê e kanakion, banho, entre outros. A prática educativa grupal constitui-se intrumento importante para enfermeiros refletirem criticamente e problematizarem suas práticas de saúde coletivamente e configura-se como espaço de relações democráticas favoráveis à socialização de conhecimentos, parcerias, negociações, consensos sobre os cuidados e educação permanente, possibilitando a criação e recriação de saberes, visando transformar e inovar o cuidado ao recém-nascido.

ÖzetEkstrauterin hayata adaptasyon sürecini temsil eden yenidoğan döneminde, derinin halen immatür olması bu dönemde iyatrojenik kutanöz komplikasyonlar dahil dermatolojik sorunların sık yaşanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu problemlerin bir kısmının önlenebilir olması nedeniyle bu özel dönemde dermatolojik yaklaşım büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu derlemede; yenidoğan ve erişkin derisi fizyolojik özellikleri arasındaki farklılıklar gözden geçirilerek yenidoğanlar için uygun olan topikal tedavi yöntemleri ile deri bakımı özetlenmektedir. (Türk derm 2011; 45 Özel Sayı 2: 60-7) Anah tar Ke li me ler: Yenidoğan, deri fizyolojisi, deri bakımı, topikal tedavi, istenmeyen ilaç reaksiyonu, iyatrojenik Sum maryImmaturity of the skin during the newborn period, that represents an adaptation process to the extrauterine life, gives rise to experience frequent dermatologic problems including the iatrogenic cutaneous complications. Dermatologic approach is extremely important in this special period since some of these problems are preventible. In this article; the difference between the physiologic properties of the newborn and adult skin is reviewed and appropriate topical treatment modalities and skin care for the newborns are summarized. (Turk derm 2011; 45 Suppl 2: 60-7) Key Words: Newborn/infant, skin physiology, skin care, topical therapy, adverse drug reaction, iatrogenic Gi riflYenidoğan dönemi; bebeğin amniyotik kavitedeki, güvenli, steril, termostabil sıvı ortamı terk etmesiyle başlar; her türlü (fiziksel, kimyasal, biyolojik) zararlı ajana açık, termolabil ve kuru olan ekstrauterin ortama aktif uyum göstermekte zorlandığı, yaşamın ilk 4 haftasını kapsayan gelişim süreci ile devam eder 1-4 . Doğumda deri, dış etkenlere karşı koruyucu fonksiyon üstlenmenin yanı sıra bebeğin bakımını sağlayan kişide şefkat duygusunun uyanmasına katkı sağlar 3 . Yenidoğanın doğum sonrası erken dönemde annesi ile kurduğu yoğun tensel ilişkinin; bebeğin vital fonksiyonlarının daha erken stabilleşmesini sağladığı, bu bebeklerde bilişsel ve davranışsal gelişiminin daha ileri düzeyde gerçekleştiği gösterilmiştir 5 . Yenidoğan döneminde dermatolojik yaklaşım yaşamsal öneme sahiptir. Bu dönemde iyatrojenik durumlar dahil çok çeşitli dermatolojik sorun sık olarak yaşanmaktadır. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Bu durumun temel nedeni; diğer organ sistemleri ile birlikte derinin anatomik bütünlüğe rağmen henüz matürasyonunu tamamlamamış olmasıdır [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . Yenidoğan deri fizyolojisinin iyi bilinmesi, bu dönemde karşılaşılabilecek deriye ait yetersizlikler ve sorunların ön görülebilmesi ile uygun topikal tedavinin seçilmesinin yanı sıra gereksiz ya da zararlı olabilecek topikal uygulamaların önlenmesine katkı sağlayacaktır. Yenidoğan Deri Fizyolojisi EpidermisEpidermis; deri yoluyla su kaybı ve toksik madde emilimini engelleyen, fiziksel, kimyasal hasarlanma ile enfeksiyonlara karşı direnç gösteren, derinin bariyer tabakasıdır 2,11 .
