Developmentally focused neonatal care

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

![CDATA[Developmental care refers to a range of strategies designed to modify the neonatal care-giving environment and care giving to reduce the stressors on the developing brain. Approaches include minimising noise and light, cue-based cares and promotion of sleep and rest (Symington & Pinelli, 2006). Developmental care is a philosophy of care that requires a rethinking of the relationships that exist in the neonatal setting among neonates, families and healthcare professionals.]]
