Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The postnatal period is a critical phase involving important physiological, psychological and social changes. Pediatric nurses could be a crucial actor in the follow-up of at-risk newborn, in collaboration with other health professionals and contribute to a reduction in pediatric emergency department (PED) visits and/or hospitalization in first weeks of life. To describe population of at-risk newborns who attended a nurse consultation after discharge from a type 3 maternity hospital and to evaluate the impact of a post-hospitalization nurse consultation for at-risk newborns on PED visits and hospitalizations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The postnatal period is a critical phase involving important physiological, psychological and social changes. In 2013, WHO recommends at least three postnatal contacts on day 3, between days 7 and 14, and six weeks after birth. Despite these recommendations, pediatric emergency department (PED) visits for newborns are constantly increasing. Some studies have shown that most of these visits were related to nonserious diseases, mainly due to a lack of knowledge and information. At the same time, some high-risk newborns have been identified as likely to be admitted to PED and subsequently hospitalized. All these findings highlight the great need for education and parental support by health staff from the time of maternity discharged, particularly when certain high-risk conditions are identified.

In France, guidelines on maternity discharge after childbirth include pediatric nurses as professionals involved in postnatal follow-up. Pediatric nurses could be a crucial actor in the follow-up of at-risk newborn, in collaboration with other health professionals and contribute to a reduction in PED visits and/or hospitalization in first weeks of life.
