Summary
Describes the development of a localised neonatal palliative care clinical guideline for NICUs in Isfahan, Iran, using literature review, nominal and focus group expert consensus, and appraisal with the AGREE instrument. The guideline draft was built around the needs of neonates, parents and staff. Quality and applicability were rated by medical experts, nurses and academic board members across five Iranian cities. It is primarily aimed at nursing practice in neonatal palliative care.
