Abstract

The aim of this study was to know the possibilities and boundaries that are present in the Rooming-InSystem (RIS) and to analyze the multi professional team which works in this setting. It is a bibliographic revision, from 33papers published at Lilacs database between 1990 and 2007. We’ve found that the RIS presents multiple possibilities, suchas the premature link mom-baby statement, the incentive to the exclusive breastfeeding practice, the approximation withthe multi professional team. Limits are related to the inadequate physical structure, deficient training of the involvedprofessionals, and inadequate physical or emotional conditions of the mother on caring for the newborn. Professionalsneed to work with creativity and to update the knowledge related to effective educational strategies. We suggest that thisknowledge updating and professional involvement with the RIS should occur by the deployment of permanent educationstrategies, in order to enhance the quality of care.
