To explore the collaboration challenges faced by neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses and public health nurses when preparing premature infants for transition home and to explore the culture of cooperation between the two professional groups.
Qualitative individual interviews were undertaken with two NICU nurses and two public health nurses. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data.
Three main themes were identified: different expectations and lack of communication between NICU nurses and public health nurses; responsibilities and interactions between the two professional groups were not clearly defined; and the public health nurses' competence was not recognised by the NICU nurses and parents.
There is a need of clear guidelines about the discharge process from the NICU. This issue must be given further attention.
探讨新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)护士和公共卫生护士在为早产儿准备出院回家时所面临的协作挑战,并探究这两个专业群体之间的合作文化。
对两名NICU护士和两名公共卫生护士进行了定性的个人访谈。采用定性内容分析法对数据进行分析。
确定了三个主要主题:NICU护士和公共卫生护士之间期望不同且缺乏沟通;两个专业群体的职责和互动未明确界定;公共卫生护士的能力未得到NICU护士和家长的认可。
需要制定关于NICU出院流程的明确指南。这个问题必须得到进一步关注。
