This article explores the role of non-nurses within the neonatal unit (NNU). Nursery nurses and health-care support workers (HCSW) or auxiliaries may be employed in the NNU and the term 'non-nurse' is used to describe them all. To satisfy professional curiosity a small survey of NNUs in England was undertaken to identify the role of non-nurses in caring for babies in the NNU. The results demonstrate that not all NNUs have delineated separate roles for nurses and non-nurses. The ENB and the UKCC have responsibilities in the shaping of the nursing profession and the creation of specialist and advanced nursing practitioners and HCSWs are fashioning the process. This article will address some of these issues within the NNU and the wider sphere of nursing and midwifery.
本文探讨了新生儿病房（NNU）中非护士人员的角色。新生儿病房可能会雇佣保育员和医疗保健支持人员（HCSW）或辅助人员，“非护士”一词用于统称这些人员。为满足专业好奇心，对英格兰的新生儿病房进行了一项小型调查，以确定非护士人员在新生儿病房照顾婴儿方面的作用。结果表明，并非所有新生儿病房都明确划分了护士和非护士的不同角色。英国护士教育委员会（ENB）和英国中央护士、助产士及健康访视人员理事会（UKCC）在塑造护理专业以及培养专科和高级护理从业者方面负有责任，而医疗保健支持人员也正在参与这一过程。本文将探讨新生儿病房以及更广泛的护理和助产领域中的一些此类问题。
