Subject: A purposive sample of sixty nurses who were providing direct care to neonates in the previously mentioned setting.. Tools for data collection: Two tools were used questionnaire sheet and observational checklists to identify the factors contribute to non-applicability of the developmental supportive care. Results: It was found that more than half of the studied nurses had poor knowledge and had incompetent level of practices as well as the lack of neonatal physical set up facilities, which all considered as factors lead to non-applicability of developmental supportive care.
