Use of colostrum as an innovative therapy in Neonatal Intensive Care Units

Colostrum is part of the lactomaterno component, it is a right of the human being and its benefits are widely known, but; it is not equally applied in the different NICU services of the city and the need to be implemented in a rigorous and standardized manner is urgent. For this reason, this research set out to investigate the situation of the use of colostrum in the city of Rosario, specifically; the level of compliance with colostrum therapy as a treatment and the obstacles they hinder. To achieve this, a research was carried out with a quantitative, descriptive, bivariate, comparative approach of the Observational and cross-sectional type. The design was descriptive, multicenter, where variables were proposed to be measured, such as: a) Level of compliance with the use of colostrum. (b) Obstacles to implementation; Nurses in the NICU who for some reason did not wish to participate in the study and those who are not working in service, for example, due to illness, were excluded from the study. In the first measurement, a written survey was applied to a total of 45 members of the nursing team from the different NICUs of the city of Rosario in both public and private institutions.
