Aims & Objectives: Background: The alternation of infant decubitus in NICU promotes neurobehavioral and neuromotor stability. Objective: Identify the perception of health professionals (HP) about the importance of the prone position (PP) regarding the NPMD of newborn in the NICU of the Southern Region of Brazil. Methods: Methods: Cross-sectional study, with HP working in the NICU of Southern Brazil (Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul). The information was collected through a standardized questionnaire (December 2015 to May 2018) applied to the head of the NICU and the following members of the multi-professional team: doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists. Descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and logistic regression were performed using the ENTER method. It was considered statistically significant when p <0.001. Results: Results: 51 NICU were included, totaling 438 respondents (180 nurses, 154 doctors and 104 physiotherapists); the mean age of the HP was 37.5 years (SD: 9.23) and the mean experience time in the area was 11 years (SD: 8.6); regarding the professional qualification of the participants, 87.3% (N: 327) reported having undergraduate/specialization and 12.3% (N: 54), graduate. There was a positive correlation between the affirmative response of the HP regarding the interference of the PP in the NPMD and the indication of this posture in the NICU (OR: 2.455; p<0.001), and the presence of a physiotherapist increases fivefold the likelihood of PP indication (p<0.001, 95% CI). Conclusions: Conclusion: The PP indication in the NICU is associated with considering their interference in the NPMD of infants and the presence of a physiotherapist in the Unit.
