Ideal Time for Newborn Home Visits: An Integrative Review of 2010-2015 Studies

Eight studies published between 2010 and 2015 were analyzed in an integrative review. The review, authored by Anniely Rodrigues Soares, synthesizes scientific literature on the timing and challenges of home visits for newborns in their first week of life. It identifies key topics such as the ideal timing for the first visit and implementation difficulties.

Use Cases

• Identify recommended timing for postnatal home visits based on the review's thematic analysis of the ideal first-week visit.
• Analyze barriers to implementing newborn home visits based on described impediments like geographical barriers and poor care quality.
• Inform health service planning by synthesizing evidence on factors affecting postnatal care delivery, such as low discharge notification rates.
• Support literature reviews on maternal knowledge gaps regarding the relevance of postnatal care, as highlighted in the findings.

Strengths

• The review is based on eight identified studies, providing a defined scope of analysis.
• It covers a specific five-year publication period from 2010 to 2015.
• Analysis is derived from multiple scientific databases including MEDLINE, BVS, Web of Science, and PubMed.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
