Tiivistelmä
Neonatal care is one of the most important care in social and health care services. In 2019, 2.4 million babies died before they turned 6 months globally, and the number one cause was lack of proper care. For the proper growth and development of new-born babies, it is essential to have quality neonatal care, which helps identify and minimise morbidity and mortality.
The goal of this study is to target families and caretakers that do not speak or understand the Finnish language but use English and oversee new-born babies. The purpose is to provide them with researched information on how well to care for their new-born babies at home after delivery till six months of age. The essential new-born care practices include, but are not limited to, nutrition, hygiene, sleep, safety, preventative care, thermal care, and more. The need for neonatal care is magnified by the current global population and fertility state.
The world’s population is shifted towards older ages, coupled by decreased birth rates. It is, therefore, essential that every born baby survives and grows up healthy. The goal of this thesis is to provide evidence-based information to those in care of new-born infants. The results of this research show that neonatal care has a great impact on the survival and development of a human being through their whole life.
Quality neonatal care is not easily achieved. It is, therefore, important, according to family health care nursing, to provide guidance and support to all parents and caregivers. Parents and caregivers should also familiarise themselves with medically approved neonatal care practices and if possible, the same should be made available to all age bearing adults.
