“…Según Hervé et al (2020), la capacitación del personal de enfermería en técnicas de prevención de infecciones nosocomiales, como la higiene de manos y el manejo adecuado de dispositivos médicos, ha sido fundamental para reducir la incidencia de infecciones en la UCI pediátrica, mejorando así la calidad de la atención. Kuti et al (2021) encontraron que la implementación de protocolos estrictos de higiene y el monitoreo continuo por parte del personal de enfermería redujeron significativamente la incidencia de infecciones nosocomiales en la UCI pediátrica, mejorando notablemente los resultados clínicos y disminuyendo las tasas de morbilidad. Kopsidas et al (2022) destacan la importancia de la educación y el monitoreo continuo del personal sanitario en la higiene de manos en UCI pediátricas, ya que esto puede llevar a una reducción significativa en las tasas de infección y una mejora en la seguridad del paciente.…”

Esta revisión narrativa examina el impacto de los cuidados de enfermería en la prevención de infecciones nosocomiales en la UCI pediátrica. Se realizaron búsquedas en PubMed, Cochrane y Scielo desde 2019 utilizando operadores booleanos y términos clave relacionados. Los estudios seleccionados fueron evaluados por su calidad con la escala de Jadad y el sistema GRADE. Los resultados muestran que las prácticas de enfermería basadas en evidencia, como la higiene de manos y el monitoreo continuo, son fundamentales para reducir la incidencia de infecciones nosocomiales. La capacitación del personal y el seguimiento de protocolos son cruciales para la seguridad del paciente. Se destaca la necesidad de una nivelación salarial justa para los docentes. En conclusión, la revisión resalta la importancia de un enfoque proactivo y basado en evidencia para mejorar la calidad de la atención en las UCIP y reduce la incidencia de infecciones nosocomiales.

“…Causes of death in the late newborn period include bacterial infections, pneumonia and infection of the umbilical cord stump, which hand washing, exclusive breastfeeding and dry umbilical cord care can help prevent, respectively [7]. Several key behaviors, such as exclusive breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, dry umbilical cord care, unrestrictive maternal diet, and hand washing with soap, can reduce health complications and adverse health outcomes [8][9][10][11][12]. Initiation of early and exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of neonatal life can prevent 20% of newborn deaths especially due to sepsis, pneumonia, tetanus, and diarrhea [8].…”

“…Initiation of early and exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of neonatal life can prevent 20% of newborn deaths especially due to sepsis, pneumonia, tetanus, and diarrhea [8]. Additionally, maintaining dry cord care and maintaining hand hygiene can prevent neonatal deaths by reducing infection [9,10]. During the neonatal period (first 28 days of life) and after, practice of key health behaviors are critical.…”

Globally 2.5 million newborns die every year before they reach the age of one month; the majority of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Among other factors, inadequate knowledge and skills to take care of newborns contribute to these deaths. To fill this gap, training patients and family members on the behaviors needed to improve essential newborn care practices at home is a promising opportunity. One program that aims to do this is the Care Companion Program (CCP) which provides in-hospital, skills-based training on care of mothers and newborns to families. This study uses semi-structured interviews to understand how and why knowledge and behaviors of maternal and newborn care behaviors change (or don’t change) as a result of CCP sessions and participants’ perception of the impact of CCP on change. Interviews focused on knowledge and behaviors around key neonatal and newborn topics and health seeking behaviors for health complications. Forty-two in-depth interviews were conducted among families with recently-delivered babies at their homes from four districts in Karnataka, India. Respondents have a positive perception about CCP, found training useful and appreciated other family members presence during the training. CCP increased knowledge and awareness and provided critical details to key behaviors like breastfeeding. Respondents were more likely to be receptive toward details on already known topics, like hand washing before touching the baby. Awareness increased on newly learned behaviors, like skin-to-skin care, which don’t conflict with cultural norms. The CCP did not influence nonrestrictive maternal diet as much, which cultural norms heavily influence. In-hospital family caregiver education programs, like CCP, can positively influence key neonatal behaviors by imparting knowledge and key skills. However, the effect is not universal across health behaviors.

Background Annually, infections contribute to approximately 25% of the 2.8 million neonatal deaths worldwide. Over 95% of sepsis‐related neonatal deaths occur in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Hand hygiene is an inexpensive and cost‐effective method of preventing infection in neonates, making it an affordable and practicable intervention in low‐ and middle‐income country settings. Therefore, hand hygiene practices may hold strong prospects for reducing the occurrence of infection and infection‐related neonatal death. Objectives To determine the effectiveness of different hand hygiene agents for preventing neonatal infection in both community and health facility settings. Search methods Searches were conducted without date or language limits in December 2022 in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase and Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), clinicaltrials.gov and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) trial registries. The reference lists of retrieved studies or related systematic reviews were screened for studies not identified by the searches. Selection criteria We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cross‐over trials, and cluster trials that included pregnant women, mothers, other caregivers, and healthcare workers who received interventions within either the community setting or in health facility settings, and the neonates in the neonatal care units or community settings. Data collection and analysis We used standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane and the GRADE approach to assess the certainty of evidence. Primary outcomes were incidence of suspected infection (author‐defined in study) within the first 28 days of life, bacteriologically confirmed infection within the first 28 days of life, all‐cause mortality within the first seven days of life (early neonatal death), and all‐cause mortality from the 8th to the 28th day of life (late neonatal death). Main results Our review included six studies: two RCTs, one cluster‐RCT, and three cross‐over trials. Three studies involved 3281 neonates; the remaining three did not specify the actual number of neonates included in their study. Three studies involved 279 nurses working in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The number of nurses included was not specified by one study. A cluster‐RCT included 103 pregnant women of over 34 weeks gestation from 10 villages in a community setting (sources of data: 103 mother‐neonate pairs) and another community‐based study included 258 married pregnant women at 32 to 34 weeks of gestation (the trial reported adverse events on 258 mothers and 246 neonates). Studies examined the effectiveness of different hand hygiene practices for the incidence of suspected infection (author‐defined in study) within the first 28 days of life. Three studies ...
