We used a robust, efficient, nonparametric substitution estimator in the targeted minimum loss-based framework.

Housing voucher receipt increased long-term risk of any diagnostic statistical manual disorder, any mood disorder, any externalizing disorder, and cigarette smoking among boys. The majority (between 69% and 90%) of the total negative long-term effects could be explained by indirect effects through the mediators considered.

This evidence suggests that, even though the intervention had the desired effects on neighborhood poverty and the school environment, these "positives" ultimately negatively impacted the long-term mental health and behaviors of boys.

In premature and critically ill infants, a complete blood count (CBC) is commonly collected via the heel-stick method, which is preferred because of the ongoing requirements to preserve intravenous sites. However, because of sample clotting, these specimens are often rejected, leading to unnecessary repeat heel sticks, painful stimuli, and increased costs.

The purpose of this quality improvement project was to decrease the rate of clotted CBC samples obtained from neonates admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The RE-AIM translation model, which stands for Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance, was adopted to decrease the rate of clotted CBC samples through staff education, randomized audits of the staff's heel-stick technique, and the development and implementation of a standardized capillary blood sampling protocol. The primary outcome measure was the rate of clotted CBC samples, which was defined as the proportion of clotted CBC samples.

CBC clotted sample rates decreased by 27%, resulting in a cost saving of $1136, and overall CBC rejection rates decreased by 23%.

All hospital units should provide staff with an evidence-based resource, recurrent education, and evaluation of skills to avoid unnecessary repeat heel sticks and prevent increased pain sensitivity, social hypervigilance, and avoidance behavior in early infancy.

Future efforts should focus on the long-term benefits of routine education and its effects on clotted sample rates and whether samples drawn by laboratory phlebotomy staff versus registered nurses/patient care technicians result in disproportionate rejection rates.

Parent involvement in neonatal care is beneficial to families and infant outcomes. Few studies have explored parental experiences of neonatal therapy participation.

This study had 2 purposes (1) to explore parental attitudes and beliefs about participating in neonatal therapies and (2) to identify barriers and facilitators to parental involvement and suggest ways to optimize neonatal therapy services.

The study design and data analysis were informed by constructivist grounded theory methods. Semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with 9 mothers of children who had received neonatal therapy.

After an early period of fear and powerlessness, a transition point occurred where the survival of their infant became more certain and parents were able to consider the future. selleck compound At this point, participation in therapies was perceived to be more relevant. Therapy participation was experienced as a means of regaining autonomy and control in a context of trauma, but parents encountered barriers related to accessing therapists and external demands on their time.

Parental participation is best facilitated by frequent and flexible access to neonatal therapists and staffing levels should reflect this. On commencing therapy, parents should be given therapists' contact details to maximize opportunities for face-to-face encounters.

Future research is needed to explore parental readiness to participate in therapies in the neonatal intensive care unit. Research exploring the impact of parental involvement in therapies over a longer time frame would be beneficial. link2 Finally, there is a need to determine efficacy and effectiveness of parent-delivered neonatal therapies.

The NANN Research Summit has been providing a platform for neonatal scholarship and clinical inquiry for 15 years. As the discipline of nursing and nursing research continue to evolve, it is important to gain perspective on current trends and needs for areas of strength and growth.

To evaluate participant outcomes of the NANN Research Summit and determine opportunities for improvement.

A 9-question survey was sent to 90 past participants for the Research Summit years 2015-2019.

Thirty-seven (41%) participants from 2015 to 2019 responded. Of those responding, 75% continued to pursue their presentation topic; 95% felt empowered to continue their research based on their Summit experience; 84% felt more comfortable presenting their research findings after attending; 84% felt confident in publishing research after attending the Summit, with 43% reporting publications. These accomplished results would not have been possible without Mead Johnson's support. In addition, 57% did not publish the work presented and 65% lacked continued mentorship.

A redesigned Summit is presented to address the priorities for growth and alignment with continued emphasis on collegiality among neonatal nurse scholars. The redesigned Summit will promote continued clinical inquiry as a result of intentional focus on mentorship and development of scholarship.

The data collected from this initial survey will continue to serve as the basis for future data collection. Continued evaluation of strengths and areas for growth including the number of publications and mentorship experience can lead to expansion of research for the Summit facilitators and participants.

Traditionally, the provision of comfort care and support during the dying process for infants born with life-limiting diagnoses has occurred in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A major goal for the families of these infants is often the opportunity to spend as much time as possible with their infant in order to make memories and parent their infant.

The objective of the Mother Baby Comfort Care Pathway is to implement a program of family-centered care with logistically flexible care delivery, allowing mothers and their families to share as normal a postpartum care experience as possible with a focus on quality of life, memory making, and time spent together.

The program was developed with the nucleus of care coordination and provision on the Mother Baby Unit (postpartum unit), with involvement from the labor and delivery room, NICU, and other units as necessary to provide the postpartum mother, her dying infant, as well as possible additional siblings (in the case of multiple gestation), postpartum care while rooming-in. The program was rolled out with training workshops for postpartum nurses.

Nurses who took part in the workshops and the patient care program rated both highly.

The Mother Baby Comfort Care Pathway aims to offer a framework for providing multidisciplinary family-centered comfort care to newborns during the postpartum period in a compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized manner in order to maximize quality time together for families with a dying infant.

The need for neonatal advanced practice providers (APPs) has been described. Hospital training programs for neonatal physician assistants (PAs) have been developed by physicians. No publications exist about programs administered by neonatal APPs for both new graduate neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs) and neonatal PAs.

The purpose of this work was to mentor, train, and hire neonatal APPs in a program administered by neonatal APPs.

We developed a 2-pronged approach to attract PAs and new graduate NNPs. Marketing strategies included receptions, information, and mentorship. A 12-month neonatal PA fellowship program included clinical mentorship and weekly didactics. Case-based presentations were provided by neonatal APPs, neonatologists, and allied professionals. The new graduate NNP program included clinical mentorship and monthly meetings with peer support, lectures, and case presentations. link3 Neonatal APPs were clinical mentors. Team-building activities supported mentorship and collaboration among all care providers.

In less than 5 years, 10 PAs and 11 new graduate NNPs have been trained and hired, as well as experienced neonatal APPs hired for this regional neonatology program. For the first time in years, locum tenens neonatal APPs are not required. We have developed a "tool kit" of content, activities, exercises, and evaluations to support successful attainment of expected competencies.

Future studies can measure retention, satisfaction, and clinical outcomes.

A successful training program has been implemented to meet the growing demand. We support the values of integrity, collaboration, and equity to facilitate this successful paradigm shift among all neonatal professional team members.

Neonates often receive noninvasive respiratory support via continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or high-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HHFNC). The decision to change from one mode to the other, however, is not evidence based, hence not standardized and does not consider cost implications.

To assess the introduction of a care bundle for the medical and nursing staff in a tertiary medical and surgical neonatal center with regard to any financial savings or adverse outcomes.

An education package and written guidelines were used to increase the awareness of the durations for which CPAP and HHFNC Vapotherm (VT) circuits could be used and the costs of the circuits.

This resulted in a cost saving of £17,000 ($22,254) for the year without adverse outcomes.

Introduction of a care bundle involving an education package and written guidelines to increase the awareness of the durations that circuits could be used and the costs of CPAP and HHFNC circuits among the medical and nursing staff can lead to cost savings when incorporated into clinical practice.
