Uso da fototerapia em recém-nascidos de uma unidade neonatal: análise da implantação. 2022. 75f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Enfermagem) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/47580Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia has a high worldwide prevalence and affects 84% of healthy newborns in the first week of life. For 60% of them, it is a physiological phenomenon, which appears on the second or third day after birth. However, some neonates present the most accentuated condition that requires phototherapy treatment as an intervention. Objective: To assess the degree of implementation in the use of phototherapy for the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Method: This is a normative assessment, with a quantitative approach, with emphasis on the degree of implementation of the use of phototherapy in newborns in a neonatal unit. The study took place in a public maternity hospital located in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. The population consisted of nurses working in neonatal units, who provide direct care to newborns using phototherapy, and the final sample consisted of 20 participants. Data collection took place between December 2021 and January 2022, using an instrument with 44 questions, designed for the study. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, version 28, from the perspective of descriptive statistics and, later, attribution of value judgment, according to the degree assigned. The study complied with the ethical and legal principles that govern scientific research in human beings according to Resolution No. 466/2012 of the National Health Council, being approved by the Embodied Opinion of the Research Ethics Committee, No. 5,133,140. Results: It was observed that the degree of implantation of phototherapy was classified as partially implanted (58.10%), with the dimensions structure (62.79%) and the process (80.94%) being partially and fully implanted, respectively. The items for checking the newborn's temperature (22.50%) and checking the light irradiance of the phototherapy device (23.75%) were considered not implanted. Conclusion: It is concluded that phototherapy is partially implemented. The definition of the degree of implementation of phototherapy brought the situational diagnosis of phototherapy in newborns from a neonatal unit. In this way, it was possible to identify strengths and weaknesses related to the care offered to neonates under phototherapy, in order to transform them into improvements. We suggest the development of a nursing care instrument for newborns under standardized phototherapy, according to already established norms and criteria.Acesso AbertoAvaliação em saúdeAvaliação de processos em cuidado em saúdeFototerapiaCuidados de enfermagemmasterThesis
