The clinical significance of the neonatal umbilical cord care model mainly lies in helping medical staff and nursing trainees master standardized and safe umbilical cord handling skills. The model is designed based on the real structure of the umbilical cord stump of a newborn. It can simulate different states of the umbilical cord during cleaning, disinfection, drying, bandaging, and before and after umbilical cord detachment, allowing trainees to practice standardized operations in a risk-free environment.

Through training, trainees can master the methods for identifying the early manifestations of umbilical infections, such as redness, swelling, abnormal secretions or unpleasant odors, etc., thus enabling them to detect problems more promptly and take intervention measures in future clinical practice. Meanwhile, the model also facilitates communication and education with family members, including key points such as keeping the navel dry and avoiding contamination.

Overall, the neonatal umbilical cord care model helps to enhance the operational proficiency and observational ability of nursing staff in umbilical cord handling, reduce the risk of clinical infection, and improve the quality of neonatal care.
