摘要：This study was carried out in the pediatrics and neonatology service of the Basic Hospital of Cayambe, and it had the general objective of developing educational strategies for the proper care of newborns of adolescent mothers, to avoid poor care for their children. Through the development of the research, qualitative and quantitative modalities were used. To complement and have a broad context, research methods, techniques, and instruments were taken into account. For the compilation of information, we used the survey method, which was applied to adolescent mothers and made it possible to determine the level of knowledge and data regarding the subject of study. The research showed that there is a high percentage of unawareness on the part of the puerperal adolescents regarding the care of their children. This leads to poor quality of life or even endangering the life of their children by exposing them to different accidents, or diseases that may have been prevented by acquiring knowledge about newborn care. Given these results, we present a proposal to develop educational strategies for newborn care aimed at adolescent mothers to help them acquire knowledge bases for adequate care, thus ensuring an adequate quality of life for newborns.
