Abstract
The value of supporting neurodevelopmental outcomes by reduc-ing stress and noxious stimuli in the NICU has been established in the literature over the past 20 years. Developmental care and its application in the clinical setting is reported as inconsistent, yet there is no literature exploring neonatal nurses’ perceptions of developmental care and its application within the Australian context. We undertook this survey to gauge the current practices across Australia as part of a planning exercise for future neu-rodevelopmental care (NDC) training and implementation of NIDCAP.
