Abstract

Deanne August studied neonatal skin injuries through a multicentre, mixed methods research comprised of eight methods, to explore and determine epidemiologic factors of injury. Findings included methods for neonatal injury assessment, multiple forces contributed towards injury; neonates have increased risk compared to older populations; many injuries are currently unpreventable, and identification of new extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors.
