Traditional practices during the first months of neonatal life are common in developing countries, such as Jordan. Many international studies and reports have highlighted the fact that traditional neonatal practices are the cause of high neonatal mortality and morbidity rates in some countries. The aim of the present study was to identify neonatal care practices in Jordan. A descriptive, qualitative research design was used across four Jordanian cities across diverse regions. Forty mothers of neonates were interviewed over a period of 6 months (from January to June 2016). Thematic and content analysis was undertaken following Braun and Clarke's six step analysis. The results indicated that in Jordan, home-based neonatal care comprises non-biomedical practices. Rubbing the neonate's skin with salt, swaddling, prelacteal feeding, and other treatment modalities are common. Further studies are necessary to determine and report on the pros and cons of these practices in regard to neonatal health.
在新生儿生命的最初几个月里，一些传统做法在发展中国家很常见，比如约旦。许多国际研究和报告都强调了这样一个事实，即在一些国家，传统的新生儿护理做法是导致新生儿高死亡率和高发病率的原因。本研究的目的是确定约旦的新生儿护理做法。采用描述性定性研究设计，在约旦不同地区的四个城市开展研究。在6个月的时间里（2016年1月至6月），对40位新生儿母亲进行了访谈。按照布劳恩和克拉克的六步分析法进行了主题和内容分析。结果表明，在约旦，家庭式新生儿护理包含非生物医学做法。用盐擦拭新生儿皮肤、襁褓包裹、开奶前喂养以及其他治疗方式都很常见。有必要进一步开展研究，以确定并报告这些做法对新生儿健康的利弊。
