Implantação do contato pele a pele no Hospital de Caruru Jesus Nazareno

Abstract

Immediate care of the full term newborn in the delivery room has undergone a series of modifications in the last years, aiming to reduce the excess of interventions applied to the child soon after birth. With this, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends postponing, after the first hour of life, any routine procedure of attention to the newborn term and with good vitality, that separates the mother from her baby, in order to allow the contact skin to skin uninterrupted immediately at birth. This study aims to implant skin-to-skin contact practice between the mother and the neonate in the first hour of life in the delivery room for a public maternity hospital, a participant in the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in Pernambuco. The method used in this Intervention Project was the preparation and realization of awareness workshops with health professionals, who provide care for childbirth and the NB, on the promotion of skin-to-skin contact (CPP). The theme of sensitization was chosen through situational diagnosis. The training in the form of a workshop considers the individual and collective experiences, besides instrumentalizing the health professional, to adopt in their daily practice the skin-toskin contact immediately. During the workshops some health professionals demonstrated greater awareness and reported realizing their importance and responsibility to promote skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the neonate in the first hour of life.
