Adopting Early Essential Newborn Care ( EENC ) in the Delivery Room: An Implementation Study From China

EENC can be effectively implemented in general hospitals, but some factors affecting the implementation of EENC included the acceptance of evidence by nurse-midwives, support from managers, and resource allocation. The implementation of EENC was found to be beneficial to newborns and their mothers. Our findings indicate that EENC should be incorporated as part of routine maternity care and nursing practice.
