Abstract
Background: Variability in developmental care implementation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) highlights the need to explore barriers to care delivery, yet few studies addressed these challenges.
Purpose: Drawing from NICU literature, this integrative review identifies barriers to implementing developmental care with premature infants.
Methods: A systematic search of CINAHL and PubMed (2014-2024) was conducted, yielding 2 qualitative and 5 quantitative studies.
Results: Thematic analysis revealed 3 key barriers based on the theory of planned behavior: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived control.
Conclusions: To improve developmental care, a multi-pronged approach engaging stakeholders is recommended. Future research should apply rigorous implementation science methods to overcome these barriers.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nursing Care Quality (JNCQ) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides practicing nurses as well as nurses who have leadership roles in nursing care quality programs with useful information regarding the application of quality principles and concepts in the practice setting. The journal offers a forum for the scholarly discussion of “real world” implementation of quality activities.
