Abstract

Introduction: Sub-Saharan Africa has the world's highest rates of neonatal mortality. Mothers are critical to the survival of these at-risk newborns. The aim of this integrative review is to appraise the published literature on the experiences, cultural values, and perceptions of mothers of hospitalized newborns in Malawi to inform future research.

Methods: This integrative review utilizes Whittemore and Knafl's review model. CINAHL, PubMed, and Academic Search Elite databases were searched.

Results: Five summarizing themes were identified across ten articles relating to the mother as a caregiver, experiences of mother as a caregiver, cultural observations and perceptions of the mother, influence of others on the mother, and discrimination and stigma.

Discussion: Mothers' experiences of having a newborn requiring hospitalization in Malawi are complex. Results indicate a need for more studies to understand the experiences of mothers of newborns requiring hospitalization in Malawi in order to provide culturally congruent newborn care.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
