Abstrakt: Background: Approximately 7 out of every 100 births in the United States result in admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which contributes to a delay in initial physical contact between the parents and their newborn. While family-centered care (FCC) increases opportunities for parent-infant connection, implementation barriers persist in clinical practice. Research has yet to examine whether organizational and nursing factors of empowerment and compassion fatigue (CF) in the NICU are associated with FCC practice.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between empowerment, CF, and FCC practices among NICU nurses.
Methods: This quantitative portion of a mixed-methods study used a cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design. Bedside NICU nurses with at least 6-month experience were recruited to complete an anonymous online survey using established, valid, and reliable instruments.
Results: Except for organizations with Magnet status, there were no significant differences in FCC practice within individual and institutional characteristics. Hierarchical linear regression model indicated nurse empowerment was a strong predictor of FCC practice (β= 0.31, R2 = 0.35, P < .001). There was only a weak, inverse association between CF and FCC practices ( r =-0.199, P < .001).
Implication for Research and Practice: Further qualitative research will integrate these findings to understand the process by which neonatal nurses engage in FCC practices in the context of NICU setting. Future studies should examine facilitators and barriers of FCC practice in the NICU. Strategies (eg, policies and trainings) to increase nurse empowerment and support for FCC implementation should be developed and evaluated.
