Parental Care

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities II

Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information. For example, a nurse who listens actively and without judgment provides clear information about health conditions and treatment options and respects patient decisions, which builds a trusting relationship.
Communication between nurses and...

Patient-centered Care

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...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Nursing Ethical Principles II

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's...

Area of Science:

Neonatal care
Parental mental health
Family-integrated care

Background:

Neonatal unit (NU) admissions for premature infants can negatively impact parental mental health (MH), causing depression, stress, and anxiety.
Fathers experience similar MH symptoms to mothers, yet research on their well-being in neonatal care is limited.
Family-integrated care (FICare) involves parents as partners in their newborn's care, improving infant outcomes and maternal MH.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of enhanced father or partner engagement in FICare on their mental health up to 6 weeks postdischarge.
To assess the effect of FICare on maternal mental health.

Main Methods:

A 2-phase study in 2 neonatal units (NUs) assessing enhanced FICare (information booklet, workbook, classes, peer support) alongside standard practices.
Father/partner MH assessed via qualitative interviews and validated questionnaires (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PSS:NICU) from NU admission to 6 weeks postdischarge.
Maternal MH assessed via focus groups and the same questionnaires; data analyzed using descriptive statistics, comparative tests, and thematic analysis.

Main Results:

The study is ongoing, with data collection projected to end in July 2024.
Systematic reviews on fathers' FICare experiences and MH outcomes are being conducted concurrently.
A maximum of 20 parents per phase will be studied, with infants born before 33 weeks' gestation.

Conclusions:

The study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a father/partner-sensitive FICare model and its positive impact on parental mental health.
It will assess the feasibility of providing FICare for extremely premature infants requiring intensive care.
Findings may support the development of inclusive FICare guidelines for nonbirthing parents and their extremely premature infants.
