Abstract
CEDENO ESCALONA, Tatiana et al. Effectiveness of the nursing care process in the survival of newborns under 1500 grams. Multimed [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.6 Epub Nov 25, 2022. ISSN 1028-4818.
Introduction:
preterm delivery is the main obstetric problem today. One of the most important challenges in neonatology is the comprehensive management of the very low birth weight newborn.
Objective:
to evaluate nursing care by applying the Nursing Care Process in newborns under 1500 g.
Methods:
a descriptive, retrospective and observational study of 53 neonates under 1500 g, absolute numbers and percentages, the association between variables and statistical significance were used to describe the sample using the Ji-square statistic.
Results:
morbidity was more frequent in the group less than 30 weeks 23 (43.4%), this group having the longest survival, 20 (37.7%) alive, and the highest mortality, 3 (5.7%); Newborns weighing between 1250 g -1499 g 25 (42.2%) and staying between 15-28 days 25 (47.2%) also contributed the highest survival rate. Respiratory complications 3 (58.5%) and the highest mortality 2 (3.8%) occurred in patients with mechanical ventilation time greater than 72 hours with 2 (3.8%); expectations were met in 48 (90.6%) and actions were evaluated as good in 47 (80.7%).
Conclusions:
survival was significantly related to the actions defined in the nursing care process (p = 0.003).
