1 Leading practice of Accreditation Canada - Implementing Developmental Care in the Neonatal Unit

Developmental care is an individualized approach to care focused on the family and based on understanding the behaviour of newborns. This approach aims for optimal neurobehavioural development in an intensive care context and improvement of parent-child attachment. Despite its well-known care benefits, its implementation in neonatal units remains sporadic and inconsistent, due to a lack of pan-Canadian and international guidelines for institutional implementation.

With the goal of improving care, a developmental care implementation procedure was launched in the neonatal unit in 2012. Based on compelling data and a literature review, this project is also supported by guidelines issued by the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) and implementation recommendations set out by recognized specialists in this field.
