Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Drug Exposed Neonates
Get PDFNeonatal Abstinence Syndrome is the withdrawal of neonates from intrauterine drug exposure shortly after birth. The treatment of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) usually consists of both pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. However, nonpharmacological therapies usually tend to be underrepresented in the plan of care for treatment. The aim of our research is to determine the effects of nonpharmacological therapies as the baseline treatment of NAS and how that affects the overall outcome of neonate’s recovery and hospital duration. We specifically examined the comparison between nonpharmacological contact methods and nonpharmacological artificial contact methods on the recovery and hospital stay of the neonate. The contact methods in this study are breastfeeding, babywearing, and skin-to-skin contact. The artificial contact methods in this study are swaddling, pacifiers, swings, vibrating mattresses, and acupuncture. The recovery of the neonates was determined using the Finnegan score; the FLACC scale; the reports of nurses, parents, and physicians; NOWS; and the duration of hospital stay. Through the review of literature, we have concluded that non-pharmacological contact and artificial contact methods should be incorporated into the standard treatment of NAS. Which is evidenced by the reduction of severity of withdrawal symptoms in the neonate and a reduction in the hospital stay. More research needs to be conducted as to how it will be incorporated with pharmacological interventions. Results determined the need for the appraisal of the implementation of the interventions into hospitals for the treatment of NAS in neonates
The Doula Effect: An Evidence Review
Get PDFDoulas offer prenatal, labor, and postnatal support for the mother and are beneficial additions to the nursing practice. In doula care, studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between maternal and infant outcomes and the involvement of a doula in their care. The purpose of this study is to show the positive benefits of the addition of a doula based on statistical data and first-hand research interviews. Doula care significantly impacts maternal and infant outcomes physically, emotionally, and holistically. By initiating the use of doulas during pregnancy, statistically the results of satisfaction for families is increased. There is consistency between the likelihood of breastfeeding, decreased rate of cesarean sections, decreased prematurity in infants, and maternal well-being with those cared for by doulas. Our best evidence recommendation is to continue to educate doulas on specific maternal and infant outcomes and continually prepare them. There is a need for consistent education and discussion of the greater influence of doulas in healthcare settings
Hypnosis in Reality
Get PDFAs children, hypnosis was a fascinating gimmick that we would see in the movies, that with simple mind control a hypnotist could make someone do anything. In a series of personal interviews of students around my campus, the majority either had a distorted view of hypnosis or did not believe in hypnosis entirely. But, modern day hypnosis, also known as hypnotherapy, is very real. Hypnotherapy has begun to make waves in the field of psychology by debunking the mythological aspect by embracing the science. This paper will discuss what modern day hypnosis is and debunk the myths. Then it will discuss 2 different applications of hypnosis, and finally its limitations. Hypnosis used to be just a parlor trick now it\u27s used as a form of medical treatment. Today we will discuss if it is revolutionary science, or another impressive hoax
