PURPOSE: This study was designed to examine the relationships between maternal perceptions of an acutely ill child, nurse caregivers and contextual factors in a pediatric critical care unit. METHODS: Subjects were mothers of 20 children who had had their first bone marrow transplant and the primary nurse of each child. The study was conducted on a bone marrow transplant unit. Variables included the acuity of the child, maternal satisfaction with nursing care, maternal vigilance as measured by the time spent at the child's bedside, nurses' attitudes toward family involvement with care, nursing experience and bone marrow transplant unit variables (census, unit acuity and staffing deficit). RESULTS: Positive associations were observed between the child's acuity and maternal satisfaction with nursing care, and between maternal vigilance and staffing deficit. There was an inverse relationship between maternal vigilance and length of nursing experience of the primary nurse and between positive attitudes of nurses toward family participation and years of nursing experience. CONCLUSION: These results show the complex nature of parental perceptions and involvement in the hospitalized child's care. They suggest that maternal attitudes about caregiving are associated with the child's acuity and that maternal vigilance is related to nursing and environmental factors, principally critical care experience of the primary nurse.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this analysis was to understand public health nurses’ experiences in preventing and addressing suspected child maltreatment within the context of home visiting. The principles of interpretive description guided study decisions and data were generated from interviews with 47 public health nurses. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings highlighted that public health nurses have an important role in the primary prevention of child maltreatment. These nurses described a six-step process for managing their duty to report suspected child maltreatment within the context of nurse-client relationships. When indicators of suspected child maltreatment were present, examination of experiential practice revealed that nurses developed reporting processes that maximized child safety, highlighted maternal strengths, and created opportunities to maintain the nurse-client relationship. Even with child protection involvement, public health nurses have a central role in continuing to work with families to develop safe and competent parenting skills.

Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian eksploratif yang bertujuan menguraikan kegiatan yang dilakukan perawat dan mengindentifikasi faktor yang mempengaruhi kegiatan perawatan dalam pelayanan KIA dan KB di Puskesmas dan di masyarakat.Penelitian dilakukan terhadap empat perawat yang masing-masing bekerja di Puskesmas Induk dan Puskesmas Pembantu di Bogor dan Puskesmas Induk dan Puskesmas Pembantu di Depok. Tiap perawat diamati oleh dua orang peneliti selama jam kerja untuk mengetahui jumlah waktu yang digunakan untuk kegiatan KIA dan KB.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prosentase waktu rata-rata yang digunakan perawat untuk pelayanan KIA dan KB adalah 29,6% dari total waktu pelayanan Puskesmas. Waktu yang lain digunakan oleh perawat untuk melaksanakan kegiatan pemeriksaan, penyuntikan, pengisian kartu pemanggil pasien dan menyiapkan obat. Perawat yang bekerja pada Puskesmas di Bogor menunjukkan bobot kegiatan paling tinggi dalam pelayanan KIA dan KB, sedangkan tiga perawat lainnya, hanya melakukan kegiatan pada Balai Pengobatan, depot obat dan kegiatan non keperawatan lain. Kegiatan perawat tertinggi di Posyandu adalah pemberian imunisasi dan pemantauan pertumbuhan yaitu 89,3% dari kegiatan lain. Puskesmas yang memberikan kewenangan yang lebih besar kepada perawat dan perawat dengan kemampuan lebih untuk melakukan pelayanan KB, ternyata menunjukkan cakupan KB yang cukup tinggi, yaitu 82,4%.Beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan perawat kurang berperan dalam pelayanan KIA dan KB antara lain karena perawat tidak diberikan kewenangan untuk memberikan pelayanan KIA dan KB, serta uraian tugas yang kurang jelas dan tidak sesuai dengan latar belakang pendidikan perawat. This resort utilized exploratif descriptive design with the purpose of describing the nurse’s activities and identification of factor affective nursing activities in maternal child healt care and family planning services in health center and community.For nurses working at twograin health center and to subdistrict health center located in Bogor and Depok were included in this study. Each nurse was observed by two observers throughout the working in hours to collect data on time spent bu nurses for maternal child health care and family planning services.The result of study revealed that the average of presentage time spent by nurses to provide maternal child health care and family planning sevices was 26,6% of total time spent in health center. The rest of time was spent by nurses for non-nursing activities such as examination parenteral medication, filling out frames, calling for patients and preparing the madication. The nurse who worked at health center in Bogor. Showed the most time spent for maternal child health care and family planning services, while another three nurses only worked at medical room, and drug counter and did non-nursing activities. Imunization and mentoring of child growth were reported as the most activities done (89,3%) at integrated health post (Posyandu) compared to another nurses’s activities. The health center with more autonomy giren to the nurses and asses with more competencies to provide family planning services that infact had an high coverage of family planning which was 82,4%.Several factors affecting the low contributing of nurses on mater hal child health care of family planning have been identified in this study were that those nurses were not authorized to offer maternal child health care of family planning, and the unclear job descriptions, as well ad inadequate educational background of nurses.

Full textAbstract:
The success of maternal and child health practices emphasizes on health policies, building effective partnerships, advocating for investments in maternal and newborn health, and coordinating research that focuses on improving maternal health in pregnancy and during and after childbirth. In these situations, nurses and midwives are the key resources that comprise the greater part of the health-care workforce. Nurses and midwives make substantial contributions to healthcare delivery systems especially in primary care, acute care, and community care setting. Thailand has an excellent production of nurses since they can perform duties as a nurse and as a midwife. This is what we think nurses from other countries should apply in their countries to improve health services. We can also show that our country has a low gender gap in employment not just in nursing. This paper would like to present the lessons learned from Thailand Nursing Education purposed in midwifery, maternal, and newborn nursing at Naresuan University. Specifically, the purpose of this article was to discuss the midwife and maternal and newborn education standards in Thailand and describe the experiences using reflective knowledge in order to inform current and future midwifery and maternal and newborn nursing practices in Thailand.

Nurses new to Maternal-Child units in hospital organizations need reality based in-service education in new employee orientation. Experienced nurses must have current, cutting edge staff development sessions that replicate practice scenarios to facilitate currency in practice. Annual clinical skills reaffirmation and new employee orientation commonly include clinical simulation activities that enhance critical thinking, assess clinical competency and reduce the potential for errors in practice. Practice repetition in the Education Department lab setting is a protected area to learn and refine clinical care skills and procedures. Case scenarios through use of clinical simulation are posed to provide current practice initiatives that enhance the nurses’ ability to provide safe, competent patient care.

For more than 30 years, nursing students have had the opportunity to have clinical experiences related to their course requirements in the Dallas Public Schools. The Dallas Independent School District School Health Services Department staff provide an orientation to student nurses before their first day in the school clinic. To enhance their learning experience and clarify the regulations and expectations for student nurses, a handbook was prepared for the use of school nurses and the students. The Basic Health Care for the School-age Child: A Handbook for Student Nurses outlines the use of the school as a clinical experience setting. Another purpose for the handbook is to reduce the stress of this clinical rotation for the student nurse and for the staff nurse who serves as the student nurse’s preceptor. This article describes the development of the expectations for the clinical experience and the information included in the handbook. An outline of the material included in each section is presented to provide ideas for school nurses who provide or are considering providing a rotation for student nurses in their schools.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the strategies used by nurses and nurse professors for a better position in the maternity ward of the teaching hospital of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. Method: this is a social-historical study with a qualitative approach. The primary sources were written documents, such as official letters, memos, ordinances, standards and routines of the hospital; photographic material; and oral testimonies from seven participants. The interviews were performed using a semi-structured questionnaire, with questions regarding the adaptation from a sanatorium to a teaching hospital, the challenges faced, and the strategies adopted by the nursing department. Results: the results allowed us to understand the close link between the maternity ward and the nursing course of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, which created a differentiated nursing care that integrated training and care with a broader and humanized look. Final considerations: the actions of the nurses were recognized and gave them professional visibility, influencing a new form of care in the maternity ward.

Abstract Introduction. Patients, as subjects of medical care, are becoming increasingly more demanding toward medical professionals which poses a challenge both for doctors and nurses. A variety of factors influences the professional image of a nurse. Different features are involved, including the nurse’s professional or interpersonal skills their personal beliefs, attitude, as well as social stereotypes about nurses. Aim. Looking at the image of nursing among the children hospitalized in the oncology ward. Material and methods. The authors used both literature review and a questionnaire of their own making. The literature review was done using data from the databases of Polish Central Medical Library. The research group comprised 32 children (aged from 8 to 17), all undergoing hospitalization in Hematology/Oncology and Child Transplantology in Lublin. The statistical calculations are made using Chi2 tests. The test results of p<0.05 were held as statistically significant. Results. The group was mostly composed of children aged 14 to 17 (56.25%). There were more boys (62.5%) than girls. The majority of children came from rural areas (71.87%) and most of them read through the documentation concerning the rules of the ward. Both nurses’ work and relations with patients were graded as “good” by the patients. Children pointed to “nice appearance” as the most important feature of every nurse. Discussion. A pediatric nurse should be patient, have lots of understanding, be sympathetic, caring and able to hold their nerve. Unfortunately, according to authors of earlier studies, not all nurses have these traits. This is due to the fact that the staff rarely involve in communication with the patients and they lack interpersonal skills. Conclusions. Children have a very high opinion on the work of nurses at the Hematology/Oncology and Child Transplantology Clinics. The children emphasized that the following features have the highest impact on their picture of the nurse: nice looks, being protective and caring. A research study conducted at the Hematology/Oncology and Child Transplantology Clinics shows the right features that a nurse should have

Colleagues in nursing were puzzled when I told them I would be trained by an anthropologist to take anthropometric craniofacial measurements. As it turned out my new colleagues in anthropology were also surprised to find how well my training in public health nursing facilitated the successful collection of data. Young children are notoriously difficult subjects for the anthropometrist, yet the procedures used were, in kind, no different from what nurses routinely ask of a child. Thus, my previous experience as a public health nurse specializing in maternal child health allowed me to develop several useful strategies that resulted in successful collection of anthropometric data from over 1300 infants, with follow-up of some at one year and three years of age. As so often, cross-disciplinary approaches produce useful results, in this case the synthesis of an anthropometric methodology and a public health nurse's understanding of children and mothers.

The purpose of this study was to explore school nurse perceptions of the nurse–family relationship in the care of elementary students with asthma and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data from 97 school nurses in Minnesota. The Family Nursing Practice Scale measured nurses’ perceptions of their family nursing practice. Bivariate analyses were conducted to compare scores by factors at the community, school, nurse, and child levels. Results suggest that school nurses have positive appraisals of their family nursing practice, though scores were generally lower in the context of ADHD compared to asthma. Participants with a graduate degree reported greater skill in working with families, whereas novice nurses reported less confidence working with families and less comfort initiating family involvement in care. Results suggest that interventions at the nurse and school levels may support enhanced family nursing practice by nurses caring for students with chronic conditions.

Raines, Deborah A. "An analysis of the values influencing neonatal nurses' perceptions and behaviors in selected ethical dilemmas." VCU Scholars Compass, 1992. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/3612.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research was to identify the values influencing the nurse's perception and choice of behavior in a hypothetical clinical situation. The theoretical framework was Rokeach's (1973) Theory on the Nature of Human Values and Value Systems. A descriptive study using a mailed survey was conducted on a random sample of 331 members of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses. Data on individual nurses' values, perception of information and behavioral choices were collected with an investigator developed questionnaire, consisting of a values scale (alpha =.82) and an information scale and choice alternatives related to three hypothetical vignettes: a low birthweight infant (alpha =.75), an infant with trisomy-13 (alpha =.70) and a chronically ill infant (alpha =.68).
Results of this study indicate that (1) nurses identified a hierarchy of values related to their practice; "doing right" (x = 6.1), beneficence (x = 5.4), and justice (x = 4.8), (2) information related to the infant was consistently most important; however, in uncertain situations, rules or external protocols had an increased influence on the behavioral choice process, (3) the behavioral choice option with the greatest agreement was different for each situation, and a consistently negative association between the options within each vignette indicates that nurses have clearly defined choice preferences, (4) model testing revealed a consistent relationship among the variable of justice and protocol, doing right and infant characteristics, and infant characteristics and the choice options across the three vignettes (p <.05).
The major findings include the identification of the value dimension, "doing right" and a lack of congruence between the values the nurse identifies as important and the actions the individual implements in practice. The phenomenon of "doing right" is a combination of items originally hypothesized to measure nurse autonomy, family autonomy and beneficence. The convergence of these items results in an unique dimension that represents the nurse's internally directed motivation or sense of duty to the infant/family unit. The lack of congruence between the identified values and the behaviors implemented in practice represents the sense of frustration and feeling of powerlessness experienced by nurses (n = 97) as they balance the role of professional and the role of employee.

Full textAbstract:
Of the 34,000 children who die annually, over 28,000 are four years old or younger. Nurses working in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) provide end of life (EOL) care before, during, and after death of these children. The purpose of this study was to determine thesuggestions PICU nurses have for improving EOL care for dying pediatric patients and their families. A sample of 1047 PICU nurses, who were members of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), were sent a 70-item questionnaire. One open ended item asked nurses to offer a suggestion for improving EOL care for dying PICU patients. Responses were received from 235 of the 474 (49.6%) nurses who returned the questionnaire. Eight themes were identified: (1) providing a better environment; (2) physician honesty about prognosis; (3) having a plan for dying; (4) ending futile care; (5) physicians on "same page;" (6)having more staff; (7) receiving more EOL education; and, (8) providing better pain control. Patient centered principles begin with creating an environment that allows the dying process to be centered on the family while fostering dignity. Fostering dignity includes providing an environment that is conducive to supporting quality EOL care. The importance of providing privacy and an appropriate place for the patient and family to feel more comfortable during the dying process was suggested. The need for better communication between providers and families, ending suffering, and having enough staff to support a "good death," were also high priorities. PICU nurses overwhelmingly suggested that the environment in which health care workers monitor, care for, and support patients and families during death is thegreatest area for improvement. Unit design teams need to assure that care areas for dying pediatric children are created to accommodate a dignified and peaceful passing to improve pediatric End-of-Life Care.

Full textAbstract:
Substance use disorders (SUDs) among pregnant and perinatal women continue to be a national public health crisis. Furthermore, nursing students and perinatal nurses have historically negative and punitive attitudes toward this vulnerable population of women. As nurses are primary care providers for pregnant and perinatal women, this is troublesome as perinatal patients express feeling stigmatized by nurses whom they should be able to trust. This contributes to the reluctance of women to seek needed medical and prenatal care. Tennessee was the first state to criminalize drug use in pregnancy and has higher neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) rates, which were more than 2 times the national average in 2017. The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional non-experimental study was to examine how formal SUD nursing education, personal experiences, and participant characteristics predict attitudes and knowledge of nursing students and practicing perinatal nurses in Tennessee toward pregnant and perinatal women with an SUD. The sample consisted of 262 nursing students and 99 perinatal nurses across the west, middle, and eastern regions of Tennessee. A linear multiple regression showed that having a personal experience with a close friend with an SUD was predictive of improved knowledge scores of pregnant and perinatal SUDs. Independent samples t-tests were non-significant between formal SUD nursing education and attitudes and knowledge. Additionally, non-significant findings were seen between having a personal experience with a family member with an SUD and attitudes and knowledge. The findings suggest that Tennessee nursing education efforts were not influential in positively affecting attitudes and knowledge scores toward pregnant and perinatal women with an SUD. Future studies focused on exploring various educational interventions to promote knowledge, improve attitudes, and empathy in nursing populations toward pregnant and perinatal women with an SUD are warranted.

Lake, Sharon W. "Barriers to Effective Pain Management in Preterm and Critically Ill Neonates." UKnowledge, 2013. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/nursing_etds/7.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore potential barriers nurses experience in providing effective pain management for preterm and critically ill infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The specific aims of the study conducted are to examine (a) NICU caregivers’ knowledge about pain, (b) scales used to evaluate pain in infants, (c) NICU nurses’ documented pain practices, and (d) bias in treating pain of certain types of infants.
This dissertation is comprised of three manuscripts. The first manuscript is an integrated review of the literature describing caregiver knowledge, barriers, and bias in the management of pain in neonates. The second manuscript is a systematic review of multidimensional pain scales developed for use in preterm and critically ill infants. The final manuscript reports a descriptive exploratory study designed to examine nurses’ knowledge of pain, knowledge of intensity and appropriate management of procedural pain, bias in treating pain of certain types of infants, and documented pain management practices.
Over the past 25 years, caregiver knowledge of pain in preterm and critically ill infants has advanced from beliefs that neonates do not feel pain, to the knowledge that preterm infants experience more pain than term infants, older children, and adults. Nine multidimensional pain scales with varying levels of reliability and validity have been developed, yet a gold standard for pain assessment in preterm and critically ill neonates has not emerged. In this study, baccalaureate prepared nurses (BSN) and nurses with higher total years of nursing experience had better knowledge of pain in this population than associate degree nurses (ADN). However, pain management was inconsistent, resulting in pain that was untreated as often as 80% of the time. Nurses reported that physician practice was the primary obstacle to providing effective pain management. Additional concerns included knowledge deficits of nurses and physicians, lack of communication and teamwork, and rushed care. Nurses reported biases in managing pain and were less likely to invest time and energy treating the pain of infants experiencing neonatal abstinence syndrome.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND Public Health Nurses (PHNs) in the Province of Eastern Finland are facing a new situation when the families attending maternal and child health (MCH) services represent increasingly diverting cultural backgrounds. Cultural competency is a part of PHNs’ qualification demands in Finland, however little is known on the phenomenon in the study area at the moment. AIM This study aims to describe how cultural competence is understood and constructed among PHNs and PHN students working and training in the MCH clinics in the Province of Eastern Finland. METHODS Qualitative design was employed. Data were collected in five semi-structured individual interviews and two focus group discussions conducted in Finnish by author. Data were audio-recorder, transcribed and analysed through qualitative content analysis (QCA). Translation to English took place during the QCA process. The total number of participants was 15. FINDINGS The participants perceived culture as a multi-dimensional phenomenon, and that specific skills are needed when meeting clients from different cultures. Cultural competence in this sample refers to a four-staged process which is highly affected by social processes and interaction between the PHNs, students, clients and other stakeholders in MCH care and community. CONCLUSION This study can serve as an explanatory material to fill the knowledge-gap between the previously published theoretical studies on cultural competence and the grass-root level MCH work. The findings represent perceptions and experiences of highly educated, native Finnish sample working in a relatively rural province, and thus their transferability should be viewed with criticism.

Full textAbstract:
Although the survival rate of childhood cancer is high, nearly two thirds of these survivors experience negative long-term secondary side effects from cancer treatments. Infertility is one such side effect that can have a prominent impact on quality of life as the patient ages. It is important for nurses working with pediatric oncology patients to provide the patient and family with education about risk for infertility and fertility preservation (FP) in order to allow families to make decisions about FP before cancer treatment starts. However, pediatric
oncology nurses report being uneducated about FP guidelines and are hesitant to broach this subject with families. The purpose of this HIM thesis is to review nurse perceived barriers
related to educating patients and their families about the risk for infertility following cancer treatments and FP and to make recommendations for improving communication between nurses and families about FP. A search was performed using CINAHL, PreCINAHL, PsychINFO, PsychARTICLES, and Medline databases and examined peer-reviewed quantitative and
qualitative research studies. Key terms used in the database searches were ped' OR child', onco' OR cancer', fert', and nurs'. Findings indicated that there were many barriers for
pediatric oncology nurses, which inhibited the discussion of FP with patients and families such as lack of knowledge and resources, provider attitudes toward FP, and patient factors. Based on the findings, the researcher identified several interventions to aid pediatric oncology nurses in overcoming these barriers to FP discussion.B.S.N.

This book aims to provide nursing students with information about a broad range of clinical skills that they may use while nursing children. In recognition of the challenges in the healthcare setting, there is now greater emphasis on ensuring that nurses are prepared adequately to deliver safe and competent care, and that nurses are equipped with both the knowledge and practical skills to enable them to perform procedures safely and sensitively for children. This text aims to take account of these issues and serve as an essential resource for nurses and nursing students. Changing trends such as the move away from hospital care, shorter hospital stays, increased use of day surgery and outpatient care, parents undertaking procedures in the home supported by community care teams, and development of primary care services, present challenges to contemporary children’s nursing practice. Technological advances also mean that children now undergo more intensive technical procedures and complex treatment protocols, and the nurse has to be equipped with a diverse range of clinical skills. In this book we try to provide a comprehensive guide by addressing the following themes and challenges: In addition to the fundamental physical clinical skills that are required of a nurse, attention is also drawn to the important psychosocial aspects of skill delivery throughout this book. In particular skills of communication and family centred care are presented as overarching themes. This emphasis is consistent with changing trends in children’s nursing, whereby shorter hospital stays, and increased acuity of children, means that there is now less time to develop a relationship with the child and family, less time to build rapport and trust, which could ultimately impact negatively on the hospital experience for that family. Building relationships, developing trust, and family centred care are pivotal to the success of modern children’s nursing. In an attempt to negate the potential for adverse aspects of hospitalization, increasingly families are encouraged to remain with their child during their hospital stay. This presents a unique challenge for nursing students, who may find themselves daunted by the fact that they are caring for not one child, but both the child and family.

Full textAbstract:
The nursing process can be used in the safe and effective delivery of pediatric sedation care. Nurses contribute to the direct care of sedated patients by developing competency and expanding knowledge and expertise within their specialty. While the provision of care to patients and families is of paramount importance, ensuring an environment conducive to delivery of safe, quality care by the healthcare team is another fundamental aspect of nursing. Management of sedation, analgesia, and anxiety in pediatric procedural sedation is an intrinsically multidisciplinary process that involves nursing, physicians, child life specialists, and other healthcare providers. In general, pediatric procedural sedation is a relatively new specialty with limited data on the role of the pediatric nurse in this multiprofessional team. It is an opportunity for nursing to collaborate with other healthcare professionals to establish guidelines and protocols to facilitate optimal patient care and efficiency as well as to share and expand their knowledge base and clinical skill set. Specialty certification and credentialing, team concept values, and the evolving role of the sedation nurse are all elements to consider within pediatric procedural sedation from the nursing perspective.

Full textAbstract:
You have already seen in earlier chapters that decision making is the cognitive process of reaching a decision—of considering a number of options from which only one can be chosen. Student nurses need to develop knowledge not only of generic nursing skills, but those related specifically to their chosen field of practice (NMC 2010). So how much knowledge do you need to be a nurse and how do you know when you have acquired it? It is often said that ‘a little knowledge is a dangerous thing’—a saying attributed to Alexander Pope (1688–1744). In nursing terms, this could mean that this small amount of knowledge can potentially mislead you into thinking that you are more competent than you actually are. How much knowledge is required to ensure competency as a qualified nurse is not easily determined, however, because we all learn in different ways and over time. Lifelong learning is advocated for all nurses and, indeed, is a requirement of continued registration (NMC 2011); as a qualified nurse, you will be making decisions on a daily basis for the rest of your working life, which will require you to be aware of best evidence for practice and patient care. The nature of these decisions forms an important part of this chapter and there will be a number of case studies related to all fields of practice for you to consider. It is important that you do not consider and answer only those related to your own field of practice, because you might encounter a situation in which you might have to care for a child or young person on an adult ward in hospital, or during a home visit in the community: for example, a grandparent might suddenly complain of feeling unwell and collapse whilst visiting his or her grandchild on a children’s ward. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) reminds us that nurses’ decision making must also be shared with service users, carers, and families—that is, that we must work with people to ensure the best and most appropriate decision for their needs at that time (NMC 2010).

Full textAbstract:
The nurse is an essential interdisciplinary partner in the delivery of family- and patient-centered palliative care for families faced with perinatal or newborn loss in the labor and delivery (L&D) unit and in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Early identification and referral of the family to perinatal and neonatal palliative care services is paramount. Improving nursing communication with the family, advocating for the family, and providing supportive nursing care, which includes physical and psychological symptom management, are emphasized. The L&D unit is an area in which patients can experience both joy and loss; it is imperative that L&D nurses receive education about palliative care in the event of maternal complications and/or congenital anomalies that lead to the death of a newborn. Principles of essential individualized, compassionate, and culturally competent palliative care interventions are reviewed using patient and family exemplars.

Full textAbstract:
Child development can be described as the biological and psychological changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence. There are many different factors that influence child development, such as biology/ genetics, the personal experiences we undergo throughout our childhood, and the influence of the environment. Child development is often categorized into five domains: cognitive (development of the ability to think and reason); social/psychosocial (the process by which a child learns to interact with others); emotional (the child has to learn how to recognize and control their own differing emotional states and to recognize emotions in others); language (how children acquire language); and finally physical development (the physical changes that occur from birth to adolescence). It is important to remember that development occurs simultaneously in all domains and that they are interrelated and interdependent, for example a delay in physical development may hamper the child’s social and emotional development. It is imperative that nurses have a sound understanding of ‘normal’ child development before they can begin to appreciate deviations in any aspect of development. On completion of reading this chapter you will begin to link your knowledge of child development to the preparation, implementation, and aftercare involved in clinical nursing procedures such as measuring a baby’s head circumference, as outlined later on in the chapter. It is anticipated that you will be able to do the following once you have read and studied this chapter: ● Understand the main influences on child development and the nature versus nurture debate. ● Understand normal child development so you can apply this knowledge to the key nursing skills required to care for a child and their family. ● Understand the importance of developmental assessment throughout childhood, such as the development checks undertaken by health visitors/ public health nurses, as a means to assess ‘normal development’ as well as delays in the achievement of expected developmental milestones. Child development refers to the biological and psychological changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy.

Full textAbstract:
To prevent suffering for children and their families, nurses and other healthcare professionals must apply the most up-to-date techniques of pain assessment and management to all children they care for, especially from the time a child receives a diagnosis of a potentially life-threatening illness through his or her survival or death. By application of an integrated treatment plan that is based on the developmental level of the individual child, involves his or her family, and uses both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions, optimal pain control is possible.

ABSTRACT Background: Maternal and infant mortality rates remain high in most developing countries including Indonesia. An approach so called as the interprofessional collaboration (IPC) has been considered to have its potential to improve the emergency obstetric and neonatal care. Little is known about the effectiveness of leadership in enhancing IPC. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of leadership on improving the IPC in the comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal services. Subjects and Method: This was a qualitative study using an embedded case study approach. This study was conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, Yogyakarta, as a type C teaching hospital. The data were collected by observation, in-depth interview, and document review. Results: This study found three themes: (1) collaborative leadership; (2) leadership issues; and (3) stakeholder input. The inter-professional collaboration included doctors, consultant doctors, supervisor, shift coordinator, and nurses in charge of nursing care. The interprofessional collaboration had been implemented. The principle of leadership had supported the interprofessional collaboration. The IPC team had understood and applied the principles of leadership that support the IPC. The leadership attributes on demand for the IPC included visionary, participatory, and coaching. The leadership issues included the difference in advice between doctors. The theme for nurses was improving the quality of interprofesional collaboration. Conclusion: The leadership attributes to improve the interprofessional collaboration include visionary, participatory, and coaching for the comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal services.
