Intervenciones de enfermería a Recién Nacido Extremadamente Prematuro con Síndrome de Distrés Respiratorio

Introducción: La prematuridad y el bajo peso al nacer son factores predictivos asociados a la morbilidad y la mortalidad neonatal y, por lo tanto, dan lugar a complicaciones como el Síndrome de Dificultad Respiratoria (SDR), que es la principal complicación de los recién naci-dos que ingresan en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales (UCIN). Objetivo: implementar cuidados integrales de enfermería especializados e individualizados al recién nacido extremadamente prematuro basados en recomendaciones de evidencia científica e intervenciones NIC. Presentamos la valoración integral de una persona recién nacida de 23 SDG con un peso de 500 g. más SDR remitidos desde un hospital comunitario básico a un hospital de tercer nivel de atención, donde se aplica el proceso de enfermería. Métodos: Se seleccionó un paciente a conveniencia de la UCIN, aplicando la metodología del proceso de enfermería, la evaluación integral a tra-vés de los 13 dominios de la NANDA, los datos se obtuvieron del expediente clínico, la entrevista con la madre y el examen físico del recién nacido Se identifican las principales respuestas humanas para analizar datos objetivos y subjetivos, se hacen juicios clínicos para implementar planes de atención bajo recomendaciones de guías de práctica clínica e intervenciones de NIC. Resultados: Se implementa-ron cinco planes de atención con diagnóstico priorizado de enfermería, cuatro reales y uno en riesgo, se identificaron los dominios más alterados: nutrición, eliminación/intercambio, crecimiento/desarrollo y seguridad/protección. Conclusiones: se realizaron intervenciones independientes e interdependientes observando mejoría en los dominios alterados, sin embargo, el recién nacido se mantuvo en una incubadora y permaneció en la UCIN para seguir los planes terapéuticos especializados, Esto implica que la UCIN debe contar con personal multidisciplinario altamente capacitado con conocimientos actualizados en atención neonatal.

The provision of midwife-led care in low-and middle-income countries: An integrative review

Por: Michaela Michel-Schuldt · Alison McFadden · Mary Renfrew · Caroline Homer — Febrero 3rd 2020 at 01:00
Addressing preventable maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity are major issues globally with low- and lower middle-income countries (LMICS) having the highest rates (Graham et al. 2016; UNFPA, WHO & ICM 2014; WHO, UNICEF & UNFPA 2014). Each day, approximately 830 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth (Alkema et al. 2016). In addition, approximately 2.5 million newborn babies die each year (UN 2018) and a further 2.6 million are stillborn (Lawn et al. 2011). Most deaths are from LMICS which account for 95% of maternal and 90% of all child deaths globally (Boerma et al.

Project 20: Midwives’ insight into continuity of care models for women with social risk factors: What works, for whom, in what circumstances, and how

Por: Hannah Rayment-Jones · Sergio A. Silverio · James Harris · Angela Harden · Jane Sandall — Enero 29th 2020 at 01:00
Women with social risk factors such as those living in poverty and social isolation, seeking asylum or refugee status, experiencing domestic abuse, mental illness, learning difficulties, and substance abuse problems, have significantly higher rates of poor birth outcomes compared to their more advantaged counterparts (Draper, 2019, Biro, 2017, Lindquist, 2015, Blumenshine, 2010, Smith 2009). In both the UK and the US women from black and minority ethnic backgrounds [BME] also experience unacceptably high rates of morbidity and mortality compared to their white counterparts, regardless of their socio-economic status (Knight et al, 2018).

Developing and introducing a post birth care plan (PBCP): An action research project

Por: Susan Crowther · Annie Lau · Emma MacIver — Diciembre 17th 2019 at 01:00
The concept of ‘postnatal’ is open to interpretation both in terminology and meaning and referred to in several ways such as ‘post-birth’ and ‘postpartum’ and in some contexts refers to ‘…the period from childbirth to the 42nd day following delivery…’ (World Health Organization, 2014), and elsewhere extending to 8 weeks post-birth. Generally greater emphasis is placed on pregnancy and less on women's postnatal individual needs and wishes (Kleppel et al., 2016). Post-birth care continues to receive the least focus (Declercq et al., 2013; Zadoroznyi et al., 2015).

Improvisation and harm avoidance: An ethnographic study of adherence to postnatal care protocols in two hospitals in Southern Ghana

Por: Linda L. Yevoo · Irene A. Agyepong · Trudie Gerrits · Han van Dijk — Diciembre 13th 2019 at 01:00
Postnatal care (PNC) is the skilled care given to mothers and babies immediately after delivery and for six weeks thereafter (WHO, 2013). The aim is to detect, manage or refer maternal and newborn health problems and life-threatening complications. (Ronsmans and Graham, 2006; Nadisauskiene et al., 2014; Singh et al., 2014; WHO and UNICEF, 2014). Protocols and guidelines are “statements to assist healthcare practitioners to make appropriate decisions about the right care in specific conditions and circumstances” (Woolf et al., 1999:527).

Effect of stay in a postpartum care institution on postpartum depression in women

Por: Li-Hua Huang · Tsung-Hsien Lee · Jing-Yang Huang · Soo-Cheen Ng · Maw-Sheng Lee · Shu-Hsin Lee — Diciembre 10th 2019 at 01:00
Childbirth is a major life experience for women. From conception to arrival of the newborn, the physical and mental experience has a great impact and influence on mothers (Swanson et al., 2011), which may lead to emotional or mental disorders post partum (Dolatian et al., 2013; Roy-Byrne et al., 2016). Postpartum depression is a common problem in women (Motzfeldt et al., 2013). In the 6 weeks after birth, serious intentions or behaviours that can harm the mother or baby may have adverse effects on child growth and development (O'Hara and McCabe, 2013; Bennett et al., 2016).

The characteristics and prevalence of phobias in pregnancy

Por: Selina Nath · Paula Busuulwa · Elizabeth G. Ryan · Fiona L. Challacombe · Louise M. Howard — Noviembre 28th 2019 at 01:00
The primary objective was to estimate the population prevalence of specific phobias (including pregnancy related specific phobias) and associated mental disorders. The secondary objective was to investigate the effectiveness of routinely collected screening tools (depression and anxiety screens, Whooley and GAD-2 respectively) in identifying specific phobias. Specific phobias are the most common anxiety disorder to occur during pregnancy, but studies on prevalence and clinical correlates of specific phobias, including pregnancy related specific phobias are lacking.

Women's information needs, decision-making and experiences of membrane sweeping to promote spontaneous labour

Por: Julie Roberts · Kerry Evans · Helen Spiby · Catrin Evans · Phoebe Pallotti · Jeanette Eldridge — Enero 5th 2020 at 01:00
UK policy currently recommends membrane sweeping to avoid prolonged pregnancy and reduce the need for formal induction. Guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE, 2008) on induction of labour recommends that at 40- and 41-week antenatal visits, nulliparous women should be offered membrane sweeping prior to formal induction and additional membrane sweeping may be offered if labour does not start spontaneously. Updates to the guideline are expected in July 2020. NICE Quality Standard [QS22] (NICE, 2016) for antenatal care additionally recommends that women having their second or later baby are offered membrane sweeping.
