Effectiveness of eye protection in physiological stability of hospitalized premature newborns: a systematic review protocol
Abstract
Introduction: The premature newborn (PTNB) hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be exposed to high levels of fluorescent lights that can impact their development, change their sleep pattern, and interfere with the circadian cycle. Objective: Evaluating the effectiveness of eye protectors in the physiological stability of PTNBs hospitalized in NICU, compared to usual care. Method: This is a systematic review protocol developed according to the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 (PRISMA-2020). The protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The search of documents will be performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Scopus, CINAHL and Web of Science, combining the controlled descriptors. Only random and quasi-experimental clinical trials published in any language and without a temporal cut will be included. Results management will be performed in the Rayyan software. Result: This study is in progress and the data obtained from the searches will be presented in summary tables, based on the methodology adopted. Conclusion: It is expected that this protocol can guide the development of the review to highlight the effectiveness of eye protectors in reducing the effects of environmental luminosity of NICU in clinical parameters of PTNB.
