“…The navel in newborns is a susceptible area for a bacterial colonization that causes infections such as neonatal sepsis and omphalitis (1)(2)(3)(4). Shortly after birth, the umbilical cord encounters non-pathogenic bacteria such as coagulase-negative staphylococci and diphtheroid bacilli (5)(6)(7).The World Health Organization claims that one-fourth of the neonatal deaths in the world are due to the infection; 75% of these occur in the first week of life, with the umbilical cord being the gateway (8,9). Therefore, umbilical care is important to prevent infections in the neonatal period (4,10,11).…”

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the methods used in umbilical care, the separation time of the umbilical cord, and the factors affecting it.Methods: A quantitative longitudinal observational analytical study was conducted between May 2018-May 2019 in an obstetrics clinic of a state hospital in eastern Turkey. The study consisted of a sample of 345 newborns and their mothers. Necessary permissions were obtained before the research data were collected. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews and via telephone. The data obtained were evaluated by percentage distribution, Independent Samples t-test, ANOVA, and Mann-Whitney U test.Results: The average gestational age of the newborns is 39.11 ± .71 week. 42.6% of the mothers stated that they performed umbilical cord care. The mean separation time of the umbilical cord in newborns was calculated as 7.55 ± 2.64 days. It was observed that the umbilical cord of the babies whose mothers put some application to the umbilical cord fell off in an average of 8.27 ± 2.97 days, while those who did not practice fell off in 7.01 ± 2.22 days (p <0.05).Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, keeping the umbilical cord open and dry without any application to it shortens the time of umbilical cord falling off.

Objective: To analyze the evidence in the evolution of scientific production on the factors associated with curative practices of the umbilical stump. Materials and Methods: The study data collection took place in April 2017. The electronic databases used to search the articles were: PubMed (National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health) and VHL (Virtual Health Library). We used the keywords "perinatal care", "umbilical cord", "patient care team", "neonatology", "newborn", in the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages, accompanied by the expression AND and selected through DeCS (Descriptors in Health Sciences). Results: A final sample of 9 articles was obtained from the PubMed and VHL databases, which met the inclusions criteria. It has been found that traditional umbilical stump care practices are still present in many communities, however, have been replaced by appropriate practices, the most recommended being: chlorhexidine 4% sanitation, soap and water and alcohol antisepsis 70%. Conclusions: There is a need for multi-professional involvement, approaching these women since pregnancy, with detailed information and accessible language about proper care with the newborn and the umbilical stump.
