Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Systems
  • Nursing Specialties
  • Neonatal Care

Background:

  • Health facility births are increasing in developing countries to meet Millennium Development Goals.
  • Challenges include health facility capacity and high neonatal mortality rates.
  • Current neonatal nursing care may not meet the demands of increasing facility births.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the state of neonatal nursing care in developing countries.
  • To propose neonatal nursing as a specialty to improve neonatal survival.
  • To outline strategies for developing and implementing neonatal nursing specialty.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of neonatal nursing care within health facility contexts.
  • Proposal of a community-hospital-community network system for neonatal nursing.
  • Identification of strategies for resource mobilization and competency standards.

Main Results:

  • Neonatal nursing specialty is proposed as a strategy to improve neonatal survival.
  • Establishing international competency standards and regulatory processes is foundational.
  • A strategy for financial resource mobilization has been identified.

Conclusions:

  • Specialty neonatal nursing within a network system can improve neonatal survival.
  • Development requires international competency standards, regulation, and financial strategies.
  • Further evaluation of mortality trends and process indicators is needed to assess effectiveness.
