Abstract

The present study analyses the organization of newborn care in different nurseries in the region of Ribeirão Preto as well as how nursing participates in this work. Through observation and interviews in 4 nurseries, we found that the work organization varies according to the hospital size and complexity. Action is centred on the child and in more complex cases; priority is given to the pathology and clinical care. We also observe enlarged actions, involving the binomial mother-child and the family. The quality of care is a result of a complex combination of human resources, material and installation. Bigger and more complex institutions present a diversity of personnel, more bureaucracy and hierarchy, information and technology system, routine procedures by written norms and more sophisticated equipment. The object of action is centred on the child, but there are practices in which the object is enlarged to the binomial mother-child and the family.
