RESUMO:

Falls are the second leading cause of deaths by accidental or unintentional injuries in the world. With newborns (NB), a fall is defined when the child, who is being looked after by a healthcare professional, family member or caregiver, falls or slips from their hands, arms or lap (regardless of whether it caused harm or not). The exact incidence rate of this type of accident is unknown among newborns, but reports given to the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority between July 2004 and 2013, in the United States, indicated 272 newborn falls by relatives while in hospital care. At the institution where this study is proposed, the annual birth average is 3900. There were 5 cases of newborn drops until August this year. The main reported related injuries are minor abrasions, excoriation, cranial fracture and brain damage, which can be fatal. These events are usually preventable, so it is indispensable that health institutions promote newborn safety programs whereas providing a safe environment to mitigate or extinguish such occurrences. Objective: To develop, along with the nurses, an accident prevention protocol for newborns in rooming-in and neonatal ICU. Methods: This is a qualitative research, of convergent care type (PCA). In such design, the researcher seeks for improvement in care practice synchronously with the investigative process. Expected Results: It is expected that the result of this study will contribute to improving the care services through standardizing procedures which are based on scientifically sustained practices, thus promoting a consequent reduction in the number of falls by hospitalized newborns. It is also expected to stimulate research focused on this theme, of which studies are very restricted, aiming at generating more knowledge in the scientific field.
