[Creation of an observation scale for newborns in the maternity setting]

Abstract

In clinical practice in the maternity setting, professionals are regularly confronted with situations for which a clinical observation of the newborn's condition is necessary. The Assessment for Newborn Development and Abilities (Panda) scale is a tool for evaluating the sensory-motor skills of newborns and their relationship with others, as well as raising professionals' awareness of their fine observation.
