“…For babies who “will not recover,” the health care team still has to alleviate the baby's physical pain and support the family. 31 The communication experiences of the parents with the staff during their baby's stay in the NICU can be explained with the main theme of “being taken care of or ignored in their emotional state.” The main theme is derived from three themes; (1) meeting a fellow human being, (2) being included or excluded as a parent, and (3) taking unwanted responsibility. 32 There is a wide range of spirituality and perceived spiritual support among maternal-child staff in the NICU.…”

The hospitalization of newborn infants causes their parents to suffer stress, depression, feelings of powerlessness, emotions of shock, worry, fear, anguish, anxiety, and loneliness interspersed with those of faith, joy, and hope. Religion may provide a framework for understanding emotional and physical suffering and can facilitate perseverance or acceptance in the face of stressors. Religious coping is a religiously framed cognitive, emotional, or behavioral response to stress that encompasses multiple modalities and goals, as well as positive and negative dimensions. Gaining meaning in life can serve many purposes, including closeness to Allah, hope, peace, connection with others, personal growth, and personal restraint. Spirituality emerges as an “intensification of human experience” from any birth, not just out of ordinary situations. The significant differences in some spiritual issues indicate the need to consider the spirituality of both parents. In this article, we reviewed the role of religious coping in the neonatal intensive care units to attract attention to the importance of religious coping for parents whose infants are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Context:Indian Journal of Palliative Care (IJPC) provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary evidence base for an evidence-informed clinical decision making.Aims:To analyze the levels of evidence of articles published in IJPC in the years 2010-2011.Settings and Design:Systematic review of palliative care journals.Materials and Methods:Systematic review of articles was done and was scored according to Center for Evidence-Based Medicine levels of evidence into any of the five grades. The articles were categorized based upon article type, number of authors, study approach, age focus, population focus, disease focus, goals of care, domains of care, models of care, and year of publication.Statistical Analysis Used:All descriptive analysis was done using frequencies and percentiles, and association between all categorical variables was done using Chi-square test at 95% confidence interval (CI) using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL).Results:There was a greater prevalence of low level evidence (level 4: n = 46, 51%; level 5: n = 35, 39%) among the 90 selected articles, and article type (original articles with higher level of evidence, P = 0.000), article approach (analytical studies with higher level of evidence, P = 0.000), domains of palliative care (practice-related studies with higher level of evidence, P = 0.000) and models of care (biological or psychosocial model with higher level of evidence, P = 0.044) had a significant association with the grade of levels of evidence. Association with other factors was not statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions:The levels of research evidence for palliative care provided by articles published in IJPC were predominantly level 4 and level 5, and there is scope for more high quality evidence to inform palliative care decisions in the developing countries.

“…In addition, the medical staff could provide the babies with necessary treatments while also respecting the dignity and best interests of the babies [ 10 ]. Because of these advantages, there is a growing call for neonatal palliative care options [ 11 ]. However, the concept of neonatal palliative care is still not widespread [ 10 ] and has received little attention [ 2 ], partly due to the fundamental societal belief that babies should not die [ 12 ].…”

This study aimed to compare the attitudes of nurses and physicians toward neonatal palliative care and identify the barriers to and facilitators of neonatal palliative care, with the goal of improving palliative care for infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the NICUs of seven general hospitals with 112 nurses and 52 physicians participating. Data were collected using the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale questionnaire. Results: Only 12.5% of nurses and 11.5% of physicians reported that they had sufficient education in neonatal palliative care. In contrast, 89.3% of the nurses and 84.6% of the physicians reported that they needed further education. The common facilitators for both nurses and physicians were: 1) agreement by all members of the department regarding the provision of palliative care and 2) informing parents about palliative care options. The common barriers for both nurses and physicians were: 1) policies or guidelines supporting palliative care were not available, 2) counseling was not available, 3) technological imperatives, and 4) parental demands for continuing life support. Insufficient resources, staff, and time were also identified as barriers for nurses, whereas these were not identified as barriers for physicians. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop hospital or national guidelines and educational programs on neonatal palliative care, and it is equally necessary to spread social awareness of the importance of neonatal palliative care.
