Abstract

A descriptive, bibliographic study which aimed to characterize Brazilian nursing literature production concerning Neonatology and at-risk new-borns in the period from 2004 to 2007. Starting from the criteria adopted, 31 articles were selected, constituting the study’s sample. The results showed evidence of thematic diversity, in types of study and approach. The theme of Nursing Assistance, the descriptive method and the qualitative approach stood out. The most frequently treated subjects were health team professionals and nurses. The majority of authors presented solutions for particular problems. Nevertheless, further studies on the theme are needed.
