    Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus tympanic infrared temperature measurement in neonates. Materials and Methods: The study conducted is a quantitative comparative design with a systematic review. The population consisted of 40 articles, of which 10 articles were selected based on the research study, as only these articles were relevant to the topic under investigation. The databases used were Elsevier, Lilax, Ebsco, Epistemonikos, PubMed, and Cochrane. A critical and intensive evaluation of each article was performed, and based on this, the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation for each article were determined using the GRADE method. Results: From the systematic review of the articles, 100% of the articles showed that 20% were from the USA, Turkey, and Nigeria, respectively, and 10% from India, Chile, and Sudan. Regarding the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus tympanic infrared temperature measurement, 80% (n=10/8) agreed that rectal temperature measurement is more effective and safer in neonate interventions; from this, it can be inferred that it can be implemented in clinical settings. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles, 8 demonstrated the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement using a mercury glass thermometer in newborn interventions (neonates).
