Abstract

Background: Every year, 120,000 newborns die in Ethiopia. Neonatal deaths now account for a greater proportion of under-five deaths. An estimated 3.1 million neonates die each year globally and 99% of these deaths occur in low-income countries. Despite the extraordinary improvements in child survival over the past 25 years, there is still virtually no effective health care for newborns in many developing countries. The nurse becomes the infant’s primary supportive staff with the most contact with infants and their caregivers. In this study, the nurse’s perceived barriers in the provision of neonatal developmental care are assessed. Objective: To assess Nurses’ Perceived Barriers for the Provision of Developmental Care in the Neonatal Care Units of Public Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: quantitative cross sectional study was conducted. Self-administered questionnaire was used to assess nurses’ perceived barriers in the provision of neonatal developmental care in all public hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All neonatal Nurses’ working in all public hospitals of Addis Ababa was included in the study without taking sample. Binary and multiple logistic regressions were done to assess association between variables. Result: A total of 90 respondents responded to the questionnaires, giving a response rate of 97.83%. The majority of respondents were female (80%). Majority of the respondents had year of experience between 1-5 year accounting 65(7.77%). Majority of respondents 72(80%) had positive perception (accept nurses perception influence provision of NICU developmental care).
