PURPOSE: In low resource areas, neonatal hypothermia is an important source of neonatal morbidity. Separating newborns from their mothers at birth puts neonates at risk for hypothermia. The Teso Safe Motherhood Project (TSMP) in Soroti, Uganda provides birth center care for women in conflict areas of Northern Uganda. After conducting a needs assessment at TSMP, a continuing education project was developed to facilitate change in clinical practice to enhance prevention and recognition of neonatal hypothermia, including implementation of skin-to-skin practices at birth.STUDY DESIGN: This education project employed multiple learning strategies including pretest and posttest questionnaires, group discussion of cultural beliefs and practices, didactic education, participation in creative informational art, and demonstration, supervision, and return demonstration of skills.MAJOR FINDINGS: At the completion of the program, 100% of participants demonstrated a statistically significant increase in both knowledge and skills in the prevention and management of neonatal hypothermia (p = .011).MAIN CONCLUSION: The participants reported that this continuing education project enhanced their skills in neonatal hypothermia prevention and management. The cost-effective strategies employed in this project can be replicated in low resource settings, contributing to decreased mortality and morbidity from newborn hypothermia.

Mothers and newborns have an emotional and physiological need to be together at the moment of birth and during the hours and days that follow. Keeping mothers and newborns together is a safe and healthy birth practice. Evidence supports immediate, undisturbed skin-to-skin care after vaginal birth and during and after cesarean surgery for all medically stable mothers and newborns, regardless of feeding preference; and, no routine separation during the days after birth. Childbirth educators and other health-care professionals have an ethical responsibility to support this essential healthy birth practice through education, advocacy, and implementation of evidence-based maternity practices.
