Abstract

To understand the healthcare team's care practice during newborn care in the delivery room. Method: Qualitative, descriptive, observational study, carried out with 18 healthcare professionals linked to neonatal care, developed in a regional hospital unit in Paraíba, from May to June 2024. The inclusion criteria were: all healthcare professionals directly involved in newborn care in the delivery room; and exclusion criteria: professionals who do not attend the interview after three consecutive appointments, and those who are on vacation and/or leave at the time of data collection. A semi-structured interview script was used for data collection. The data were processed using the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (Iramuteq), whose textual analysis occurred through the Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD), followed by Bardin's Content Analysis. The aforementioned research project was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Center for Education and Health of the Federal University of Campina Grande, under opinion no. 6,699,794, and CAAE: 77262523.9.0000.0154. Results: In the dendrogram, the analyzed theme obtained two axes, A and B. A presents a branch composed of classes 6, with 50 ST (16.23%) and 1, with 60 ST (19.48%). Axis B has two branches and one of the branches also has sub-branches, the first being composed of classes 5, with 39 ST (12.66%) and 4, with 61 ST (19.81%) and the second composed of classes 3, with 52 ST (16.88%) and 2, with 46 ST (14.94%). Next, two thematic categories were listed: Weaknesses of the team in the organization, evaluation and execution of care for the newborn; and Obstacles to qualified care for the newborn. Conclusion: It was possible to understand that the care practice of the health team during care for the newborn in the delivery room has a series of weaknesses related to the knowledge of the professionals both for the care of newborns with good vitality and for those in need of resuscitation. Suggesting the carrying out of broader studies, as well as the implementation of training programs, adherence to institutional protocols guiding immediate, mediate and in need of resuscitation care.
