This book was released on 2013 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aims: The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a demanding, emotional environment due to cultural, institutional, and interpersonal factors. This study aims to explore the 'interactions and experiences' of paediatric residents and nurse graduates working and learning within an Australian NICU before and after their first exposure to this environment. Methods: Utilising grounded theory techniques, researchers analysed semistructured open-ended interviews recorded before and after trainees worked six months in the NICU. Coding was completed by an iterative process involving two researchers. Two frameworks were developed with a series of themes and subthemes. Data were sent for member-checking, with responses incorporated into the final analysis. Findings: Six residents and five nurses were recruited with twenty one interviews completed. Three themes emerged from the first framework: 'anticipation and aspiration'. These include 'accepting the challenge', 'protecting their patients whilst being supported', and undergoing 'transformation'. Three themes emerged from the second framework 'evolution through experience', including 'interactions at the interface', 'validation', and 'professional discovery'. These themes can be seen through three different 'lenses' important to the trainees' experiences and learning in the NICU: firstly as a discussion of the learning opportunities and experiences presented in the NICU through the understanding of various learning theories, secondly through the move from 'the ideal to the real', indicating a shift in perceptions from an idealised anticipation to the actual experience, and thirdly, the necessity for, and the stresses of 'boundary crossing' - moving between areas of 'sociocultural difference'. Conclusions: Expectations of working in the NICU were mostly met and positive, but fell short for some. Continuous constructive support and feedback, as well as a stimulating educational environment during transition though the neonatal environment may alleviate these disappointments. The impact of a complex, emotional work environment within a large multidisciplinary institution, on the transition of nurse graduates and paediatric residents who had not previously encountered this environment, cannot be underestimated.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) are designed to care for critically ill newborns who require constant care. The design of the NICU may have an impact on not only the patient and their family but also the nursing staff. Historically neonatal intensive care have employed a cohort model of care. In this model multiple infants are in the same room or pod. With success of single room maternity care, the increased need for changes in neonatal care became apparent. Today, new parents desire extended contact with their extremely preterm and often very sick infant. This trend has led a standard of single room care in NICU’s nationwide. Studies have evaluated the benefits of single room NICU care for families, however there are limited studies to evaluate the nursing perspective on how such a change effects care delivered, safety, communication and teamwork. A 10 question survey, using a Likert scale, was sent to 68 nurses currently transitioning from cohort style to private room NICU care. An initial survey was sent prior to the design change and then again 6 weeks after the move to private rooms. This exploratory method is a way to gain simple and meaningful insight into areas of concern before the move thus allowing the ability to compare post survey results with the initial findings. The results showed a significant increase in their satisfaction with the quality of care provided, quality of family focused care, and safety is a priority. The results also showed there to be a significant decline in the quality of family/nurse interactions and in determination to give their best at work. The 2 areas which had no significant changes were employees help others and satisfaction with the quality of communication. A study of this nature could be repeated in other areas to evaluate nursing concerns and attitudes related to major changes in deliver of care. This can be useful when evaluating nurse satisfaction and retention.

The second part elaborates on key topics for neonatal nursing across the globe, such as the continuity of neonatal care in the community, patient and family centered care in neonatal settings, sleep and brain development, the fundamental care needs of the neonate and family and global perspectives on hypothermia, hypoglycaemia and hypoxia.

Download or read book Exploring Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses Affective Responses to Providing End of life Care written by Stephanie Lynn Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significance. The Joint Commission established standards to evaluate comprehensive end-of-life infant care and the positive outcomes of such care are well documented. However, findings from multiple studies conducted over the last decade indicate that end-of-life care in the neonatal intensive care unit is not provided consistently or holistically to all dying infants. Because nurses are the healthcare professionals most often responsible for providing this care, anything that detracts from their ability to provide it, including their own affective responses, needs to be addressed. Aim. The purpose of this study was to explore—through lived and told stories—the affective, interactional, and meaning-related responses that NICU nurses have while caring for dying infants and their families. Sample, Design, and Methods. Neonatal intensive care nurses were recruited through the online membership discussion boards of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses. Participants were asked to access an online survey link and provide a written narrative describing an end-of-life care situation in which they experienced strong emotions. Demographic data also were collected. Findings. Narrative analysis revealed many affective responses, but three were the most frequent: responsibility, moral distress, and identification. Feelings of responsibility included (a) a commitment to deliver the best end-of-life care possible, (b) professional inadequacy, (c) disbelief, and d) advocacy. Feelings associated with moral distress were quite common and often related to conflicts between nurses, physicians, and families. Nurses reported feelings of identification with families of dying infants through (a) sharing their grief, (b) forming excess attachments, and (c) experiencing survivor-like guilt. Implications. Nurse educators are encouraged to discuss more extensively and perhaps through the use of simulation, the positive and negative emotions that may be experienced by nurses who are involved in end-of-life care situations. Nurse leaders are encouraged to promote supportive environments in NICUs and ensure debriefing opportunities for nurses who have recently cared for a dying infant. Significant associations, such as NICU nurses not perceiving their EOLC education as being helpful in providing that care clinically and the percentage of NICU nurses reporting the presence of an end-of-life care policy in their units of employment, also merit further examination.
