This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although attention has been given to parental attitudes regarding enrollment of their high-risk infants in research, there is a paucity of knowledge in the literature, which investigates nurses? experiences of caring for high-risk infants involved in research. Consequently, there is little understanding of how caring for these infants impacts nursing care. The purpose of this research was to arrive at an increased understanding of neonatal nurses' experiences in caring for high-risk infants involved in research. Attention was given to exploring neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses? perspectives towards neonatal research and the notion of risk to involving high-risk infants in research, their perceived roles and responsibilities with regards to high-risk infants in research, and the impact of research on caring for high-risk infants. This study was built on the research program of the student?s supervisor that seeks to increase the knowledge base of the nature of risk in child health research. An exploratory descriptive study within the qualitative paradigm was used. Seven semi-structured interviews, one focus group interview, and field notes were used to obtain information from seven NICU nurses. All of the qualitative data that emerged was analyzed using the constant comparative data analysis technique. Data analysis revealed that safeguarding their patients, or being a?safety net?, was the essence of nurses? experiences of caring for high-risk infants involved in research. The nurses described their main role was the provision of a safe environment, regardless of the infants? involvement in research. Acting as a?safety net? involved the nurses always being on guard and knowledgeable about their patients? care. The following three themes further depicting the safeguarding experience emerged: feelings within, keeping it near and dear, and making it safer. The first theme, feelings within, uncovered nurses? mixed emotions when caring for infants involved in research, which ranged from positive feelings to feelings of moral distress. The second theme, keeping it near and dear, referred to the uncomfortable feelings and memories that nurses held about situations in which they felt infants enrolled in research had suffered because of their inability of not being able to fully safeguard them. Some of the nurses expressed regretting their choices, such as not speaking up on a patient?s behalf, while others described it as a learning process, which eventually contributed to their abilities to safeguard infants. The third theme, making it safer, was based on the nurses? enthusiasm about the future of neonatal research. The nurses identified many ways in which child health researchers, bedside nurses, REB members, and parents could minimize the risks of involving high-risk infants in research. This study yielded new insights about how NICU nurses care for high-risk infants involved in research that may be used to improve the protection of high-risk infants in research and ultimately contribute to the quality of care for these infants. Recommendations for nursing practice, education, and research are suggested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moral distress is defined as the physical and emotional pain caused by situations where nurses or other healthcare professionals are aware of a moral problem but they are impeded by constraints to make a judgment based on what they believe is right. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a stressful environment and a likely setting for the experience of moral distress for healthcare professionals. Nurses are often confronted with caring for critically ill newborns with unknown outcomes. This problem is important because it can impair the quality of care that is delivered and can cause nurses to have negative feelings about their profession. Not only does moral distress frequently go unrecognized, but there is a limited amount of research about the contributing factors leading to moral distress in NICU registered nurses (RNs). A qualitative, phenomenological study was conducted with 10 participants using in-depth semi-structured interviews to gain insight into the lived experiences and perceptions of moral distress in NICU RNs working in a large, urban academic medical center. Common themes that emerged from the data included: (1) Walking the sacred journey; (2) Power, conflict, and collaboration; and (3) The internal and external environment. This qualitative study contributes to the limited knowledge and understanding of the challenges nurses face in the NICU as well as offering possible implications for implementing supportive interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emotional impact of having a newborn hospitalized in an intensive care unit is immense. The parents' perceptions of the child's fragility and of their role in the vulnerable child's life represent important facts of the crisis in which the infant and the parents are involved. Such early stress marks the child's later development which may include chronic ailments and learning disabilities. This book explores a whole spectrum of psychological questions raised by the birth of medically fragile infants, from the parents' ability to restore a sense of meaning and mastery in the face of the profound challenges confronting them, to the importance of social support and coping strategies, and finally, to the crisis of newborn intensive care in the context of the marital relationship.
