Objetivo: Descrever a natureza e tendência na produção científica de enfermagem sobre a temática de cuidados com a pele do recém-nascido (RN). Método: Realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, do tipo exploratório descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. Nas bases de dados Lilacs, Bdenf e Pubmed, com seleção de 11 artigos. Resultados: Mediante a leitura dos estudos, foram analisadas seis publicações nacionais e cinco publicações internacionais. Sendo sete estudos de abordagem qualitativa e quatro estudos de abordagem quantitativa. Este estudo possibilitou conhecer cuidados e formas de acompanhamento na avaliação da pele do neonato. Conclusão: evidenciaram-se poucos estudos sobre a temática de cuidados com a pele do recém-nascido, sendo necessários estudos que colaborem para a elaboração e revisão de protocolos de assistência direcionados a prevenção de agravos ao recém-nascido.

Purpose Feeding challenges are common for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While sufficient oral feeding is typically a goal during NICU admission, this can be a long and complicated process for both the infant and the family. Many of the stressors related to feeding persist long after hospital discharge, which results in the parents taking the primary role of navigating the infant's course to ensure continued feeding success. This is in addition to dealing with the psychological impact of having a child requiring increased medical attention and the need to continue to fulfill the demands at home. In this clinical focus article, we examine 3 main areas that impact psychosocial stress among parents with infants in the NICU and following discharge: parenting, feeding, and supports. Implications for speech-language pathologists working with these infants and their families are discussed. A case example is also included to describe the treatment course of an infant and her parents in the NICU and after graduation to demonstrate these points further. Conclusion Speech-language pathologists working with infants in the NICU and following hospital discharge must realize the family context and psychosocial considerations that impact feeding progression. Understanding these factors may improve parental engagement to more effectively tailor treatment approaches to meet the needs of the child and family.
