Abstract

Objective: to evidence and discuss nursing care regarding thermo-regulation for pre-term newborns.
Method: An integrative review with search by complete primary articles, published from 2014 to 2019 in Portuguese, English or Spanish in the Virtual Health Library, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. The following descriptors were used: Termorregulação; Recém-Nascido; Enfermagem; “Enfermeiras e Enfermeiros”; “Body Temperature Regulation”; and “Infant, Newborn”.
Results: nine articles were included for synthesis, with studies conducted in different countries. Categories emerged about care in the thermo-regulation of pre-term newborns and on protocols for neonatal thermo-regulation in the clinical practice.
Final considerations: nursing care in thermo-regulation includes the use of a heated bed, radiant heater, body insulation methods, and adjustment of room temperature. This study contributes by providing a basis for research on the clinical situation of newborns and possible associations in nursing care that could compromise neonatal thermo-regulation.
