Objectives: To determine the effect of uninterrupted service of infant nurses on hospital costs.
Materials and Methods:
The data were obtained by performing hospital archives. All women and children who had delivered in the last three months in the hospital were examined in the light of the archive information. A total of 890 files were found to be suitable for the research data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS 21 package program.
Results:
890 deliveries were performed. It was determined that there were 154 infants who were thought to be risky infants. Three of them were referred to another hospital because their condition was serious. All of the 151 babies were referred to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before the baby nursing practice. However, baby nursing practice was approved to be sent to 110 NICU. Thus the rate of hospitalization of NICU decreased 27.2%.
