The Real

To the Editor.— Dr Silverman's elegant paper raises questions that have resisted resolution and have serious implications for practice and political involvement of pediatrics in the United States. Regarding ethics in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) he mentions the ". . . fulfillment of an eager team's dream of rescue bring(ing) about the real-life enactment of a family's worst nightmare . . ." Brody1 recently has developed the concept of the "Rescue Fantasy" undergirding many of medicine's heroic ministrations.

Religious Perspectives

Discussing religious views from within any tradition is challenging because they are not monolithic. However, it is worth exploring religious perspectives because they are often the foundation, whether conscious or not, of the reasoning underlying people’s decisions. Following a brief discussion on the importance of cultural humility and understanding the worldview of patients, the author focuses on Hindu perspectives regarding the care of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Along with applying six elements of Hindu thought (underlying unity of all life, multivalent nature of Hindu traditions, dharma, emphasis on societal good, karma, and ahimsa), the author incorporates perspectives of Hindu adults, living in the United States, who responded to a nationwide survey regarding the care of high-risk newborn infants in the hospital.

OBJECTIVE: construct an explanatory theoretical model about nurses' adherence to the Kangaroo Care Method at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, based on the meanings and interactions for care management.METHOD: qualitative research, based on the reference framework of the Grounded Theory. Eight nurses were interviewed at a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The comparative analysis of the data comprised the phases of open, axial and selective coding. A theoretical conditional-causal model was constructed.RESULTS: four main categories emerged that composed the analytic paradigm: Giving one's best to the Kangaroo Method; Working with the complexity of the Kangaroo Method; Finding (de)motivation to apply the Kangaroo Method; and Facing the challenges for the adherence to and application of the Kangaroo Method.CONCLUSIONS: the central phenomenon revealed that each nurse and team professional has a role of multiplying values and practices that may or may not be constructive, potentially influencing the (dis)continuity of the Kangaroo Method at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The findings can be used to outline management strategies that go beyond the courses and training and guarantee the strengthening of the care model.
