Abstract Objective To explore the gaps in knowledge and practice in neonatal thermal care among healthcare workers in low-resource settings. Methods We conducted a 2-round, web-based survey of a purposive and snowball sample of healthcare workers in neonatal care in low-resource settings globally. The questionnaire was developed using themes of neonatal thermal care extracted from existing neonatal care guidelines, including WHO’s. The survey asked multiple-choice questions, supplemented by open-ended questions to capture first hand insights and information on neonatal thermal care. Results of the survey were analysed using Microsoft Excel. Data was collated and summarized using descriptive measures. Results Almost all participants acknowledged the importance of all the WHO warm chain elements, however, fewer participants responded positively regarding the practice of this warm chain. Only 56% of the participants acknowledged the usefulness of checking the peripheral temperature by hand-touch. The usefulness of the core temperature was valued higher than that of the peripheral temperature as an indicator of cold stress, with 70% and 58% agreement, respectively. Opinions diverged regarding the peripheral temperatures, including apparent inaccuracy compared to rectal or axillary temperature. Preferences on rewarming strategies widely differed among participants and so did the availability of warming equipment in their institutions. Conclusions We identified the general acknowledgment of the importance of the WHO warm chain but also its limited practice. We also identified that an inadequate understanding of cold stress underestimates the potential benefits of peripheral temperatures and leads to missed opportunities for timely prevention of hypothermia. Furthermore, lack of consistent guidance on equipment for rewarming hypothermic neonates hampers recovery.
