ROMERO-CHAFLA, María Soledad; CARRILLO-LOPEZ, Lilian del Pilar; RODRIGUEZ-LOOR, Isamar Elena y FIGUEROA-AVILA, Paolina Antonieta. Humanized strategies for critical neonatal care and their impact on dignity. Salud y Vida [online]. 2026, vol.10, n.19, pp.79-97. Epub 10-Jun-2026.

Objective:
To analyze organizational, care-related, and educational strategies that promote humanized neonatal intensive care and their impact on dignity for the newborn-family dyad.
Method:
Systematic review of literature (2020-2025) in PubMed, following PRISMA 2020. Twenty-nine studies were assessed, with evidence levels classified as high, moderate, or low based on study design, bias, consistency, and effect size.
Results:
Strategies such as kangaroo care, skin-to-skin contact, music therapy, colostrum therapy, and family participation showed clinical benefits. Strongest evidence came from RCTs and meta-analyses, while descriptive studies provided complementary insights.
Conclusions:
Humanized NICU care improves clinical and emotional outcomes, strengthens family bonds, and should be consolidated as a standard practice supported by institutional policies and continuous training.
