Abstract

 Background: Premature infants have markedly improved outcomes when the stress of environmental sensory overstimulation is reduced. Nurses, as the primary caregivers, play a crucial role in reducing infants' stress and promoting better outcomes. Aim: The study aimed to assess nurses' performance about creating healing environment and clustering nursing care for premature infants. Method: A descriptive research design was utilized in this study, all neonatal nurses (80) who were working at the time of the study were enrolled at our study. This study was carried out at Neonatal Intensive Care Units at Children Hospital and Maternity & Gynecological Hospital affiliated to Ain Shams University. Tools: The researchers employed two data collection tools: a pre-designed questionnaire to assess the nurses' characteristics and knowledge, and observation checklists. Results: Explained that knowledge score and training courses had high frequency positive effect on practice score at p value <0.01**. While years of experience had high frequency negative effect on practice score at p value <0.01** and age had slight frequency negative effect on practice score at p value <0.05* Conclusion: The majority of the studied nurses demonstrated incompetent practice, while less than two-thirds exhibited poor knowledge about healing environment and clustering care. Furthermore, a high positive correlation was found between nurses' knowledge and practice, highlighting the importance of knowledge enhancement in improving nursing practice. Recommendations: Continuous training programs should be applied for nurses in the NICUs to improve their knowledge and practice regarding developmental supportive care, healing environment and clustering nursing care. On job training for neonatal nurses about applying healing environment and clustering nursing care.
