Abstract
Background: Developing a high-quality care model led by a multidisciplinary healthcare team is crucial in reducing complications and mortality rates in critically ill newborns.
Objectives: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Neonatal Critical Care Model.
Methods: This research and development study included 2 steps 1) investigate the current situation and develop the model using in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The data was used to develop the newborn care model. 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of the model by collecting data from 30 multidisciplinary healthcare professionals. A pilot study was conducted with the first group of 69 newborns, followed by a second-phase with 50 newborns. Data collection tools included questionnaires on the satisfaction of the multidisciplinary team and outcome records of the newborn. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis.
Results: The neonatal critical care model developed included network building, bed expansion, knowledge dissemination, mentoring, change leadership, monitoring, evaluation, feedback, and continuous development. The multidisciplinary healthcare team had high satisfaction (=4.20, SD=0.70). Outcomes for referred newborns improved in all sector domains, including better blood glucose levels, temperature regulation, respiration, blood pressure, laboratory analysis, and family support.
Conclusions: The neonatal critical care model developed is comprehensive and effective based on networking concepts, facilitates comprehensive care, and effective among networks of healthcare providers. This approach reduced infant mortality rates and increased staff satisfaction.
