The Relationship

There is growing evidence that continuity of nurse caregivers (CNC) has an effect on outcomes for infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units. Using Levine’s conservation model, the relationship of infant acuity and CNC for 50 infants born between 24 and 40 weeks gestation was explored. A statistically significant difference was found between the variable acuity and CNC (F = 8.65, p = .01). Results suggest that high infant acuity is strongly related to high CNC but may be the effect of a third variable. CNC may support the emergence of physiological, structural, and social competencies for convalescing premature infants.

Rotavirus Vaccination

AbstractRotavirus is the most common nonseasonal vaccine preventable illness. Despite increased severity of rotaviral illness in early infancy, most neonatal intensive care units (NICU) do not administer rotavirus vaccination either during the NICU stay at age of eligibility or at discharge as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends. In this commentary, we review the rationale for the administration of rotavirus vaccination to premature infants. Further, we outline data supporting vaccine administration at chronologic age while still admitted to the NICU.

The Relationship

This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the qualifications of neonatal intensive care units of hospitals (physical conditions, standard applications, employee qualifications and use of personal protective equipment) and work related causes and risks, employee related causes and risks when occupational accidents occur. Accordingly, a survey was prepared and was made among 105 nurses working in 3 public and 3 private hospital's neonatal intensive care units, in the January of 2010. The survey consists of questions about the qualifications of neonatal intensive care units, work related causes and risks, and employee related causes and risks. From the regression analysis conducted, it has been found that confirmed hypotheses in several studies in the literature were not significant in this study. The sub-dimensions in which relationships has been found show that the improvement of the physical environment in workplace, the improvement of the employee qualifications and standard applications can reduce the rate of occupational accidents. According to the results of this study management should take care of the organizational factors besides to improvement of the physical environment in workplace, the improvement of the employee qualifications and standard applications.
