Abstract

Advanced neonatal care requires interprofessional approaches that integrate effective communication, shared decision-making, and clearly defined clinical roles, given the critical impact of early stabilization on neonatal survival. The objective of this study was to analyze the literature on advanced neonatal care, with an emphasis on clinical interactions between nursing professionals and physicians during early neonatal stabilization. A qualitative documentary review of scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025 was conducted and analyzed using a thematic approach to interpret interprofessional clinical interactions in early neonatal stabilization. The findings indicate that the quality of nursing–physician interaction, mediated by communication, role clarity, and workload, is a determining factor for the safety and effectiveness of neonatal stabilization. Early neonatal stabilization requires collaborative models that recognize nursing as an active clinical agent and promote structured interprofessional interactions to strengthen the safety, quality, and reliability of neonatal care.
