Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Neonatal Nursing
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Infants with lethal anomalies often die in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) despite parental wishes for less aggressive care.
  • Neonatal nurses experience moral distress when providing life-saving treatments for non-viable conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a Perinatal Comfort Care program designed to support families of infants with lethal anomalies.
  • To highlight the role of neonatal nurses in end-of-life care for these infants.

Main Methods:

  • The program provides antenatal and postnatal care, including home visits by an interdisciplinary hospice team.
  • Care is collaborative, community-based, and family-centered, integrated into labor and delivery and mother-baby units.
  • Follow-up support extends to families for one year post-infant death.

Main Results:

  • The program offers an alternative to intensive neonatal care for infants with lethal anomalies.
  • It addresses the moral distress experienced by neonatal nurses in end-of-life situations.
  • Family-centered care is provided throughout the diagnosis, birth, and bereavement process.

Conclusions:

  • Perinatal Comfort Care programs provide a compassionate framework for managing end-of-life care for infants with lethal anomalies.
  • Neonatal nurses can actively participate by initiating or joining such programs.
  • These programs support families and potentially reduce moral distress for healthcare providers.
