- Abstract
This paper describes a partnership established between a newborn care program implemented in a city in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil and the nursing program of a public university. The activities are performed by nursing undergraduates together with the program team and include guidance provided to mothers in maternity hospitals linked to the Brazilian Health System concerning newborn care, growth and developmental monitoring, immunization, and support and encouragement of breastfeeding, in addition to the scheduling of childcare and postpartum appointments. These actions develop competencies during the nurses' education and qualify students to interact with mothers and newborns, providing health education and broadening their view beyond biological care to include aspects concerning social, cultural and emotional demands, the inclusion of families in the care provided to mothers and infants, and those related to cooperation among health sectors and services.
