About Neonatal Nursing Literature Reviews
- Main focus: Neonatal nursing reviews examine care for newborn and preterm infants and support for their parents.
- Typical topics: Kangaroo mother care, procedural pain, nutrition, necrotising enterocolitis, thermoregulation, infection prevention and discharge preparation.
- Parents as partners: Many reviews explore parental stress and family-integrated care alongside infant outcomes.
- Evidence and databases: Searches include CINAHL, PubMed/MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library, with BAPM and Bliss guidance.
- What to learn from them: See how to search and appraise evidence for a small, specialist population where trials can be limited.
Writing Your Own Neonatal Nursing Literature Review
- Start with a focused question: Narrow your topic to one population, intervention or experience and frame it with PICO, PEO or PCC. A focused question keeps the search manageable and makes your inclusion criteria easy to justify.
- Plan a reproducible search: Combine subject headings and keywords with Boolean operators across at least two or three relevant databases, and record the date of each search and the number of results. Markers expect enough detail for someone else to repeat it.
- Appraise every included study: Use a recognised tool such as CASP, JBI or MMAT to judge each study’s quality, and explain how strengths and weaknesses affect the confidence you place in the findings.
- Synthesise into themes: Group findings by what they reveal about your question, compare where studies agree or disagree, and explain why. Avoid summarising one study per paragraph.
- Link back to practice: Finish with clear, realistic implications for neonatal nursing practice, education or policy, and identify the gaps future research should address.
