A Political and Personal Commitment
Published in Christa Craven, Reproductive Losses, 2019
For professionals who serve LGBTQ families—such as adoption agency staff, midwives, physicians, nurses, fertility specialists, social workers, religious and faith leaders, therapists, and psychologists—Reproductive Losses reveals both the ways grief can be similar across all families, but also the ways in which distinctive aspects of LGBTQ experience (such as encountering discriminatory laws, homophobia, and heterosexism and outdated assumptions about those who form families) impact their experiences of loss in crucial ways. As a Special Issue on improving healthcare for LBT patients in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing (JOGNN) underscored, with the goal of providing “safe, effective, timely, and respectful care to their patients, [professionals frequently] seek opportunities to ‘know better’ so that they can ‘do better’ for their patients,” clients, and populations they serve.10 Yet the rarity of deliberate education in most professions related to LGBTQ health and mental health can increase the likelihood that LGBTQ people will encounter heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination as some of the stories in this book (especially Chapters 4–6) demonstrate. Reproductive Losses presents stories and experiences of a broad range of LGBTQ people in the hope that professionals will gain both the knowledge and empathy to improve and enhance the care, services, and support they offer.
Mechanisms of Action: Nutrition*
Published in Ernest L. Abel, Smoking and Reproduction: An Annotated Bibliography, 2017
18.a.6. Deibel, P., Effects of cigarette smoking on maternal nutrition and the fetus, J. Obstet. Gynecol. Neonatal Nursing, 9, 333—336, 1980. Smoking during pregnancy is associated with low birthweight. One way in which smoking produces this effect is by impairing utilization of vitamins and minerals. Nurses can help pregnant women stop smoking by informing them about its effects on the fetus.
Transitions at the beginning of life: psychological support
Published in Rita Pfund, Susan Fowler-Kerry, Sister Frances Dominica, Perspectives on Palliative Care for Children and Young People, 2017
In 2006 I systematically asked parents to describe their experience of being in NICU. I asked for one word from the mother and one from the father to describe their experience, their feelings and their behaviours. The words listed in Boxes 18.1–18.3 are words of the service users.7 (Boxes 18.1–18.3 are reproduced by kind permission of the editor of the Journal of Neonatal Nursing.)

Compared with 352 healthy controls, patients with CCAMs were at slightly higher risk of developing polyhydramnios (p = .048, OR 4.97, 95% CI [0.96, 25.88]). The rate of Caesarean Section was not elevated compared to the controls (45.9% versus 42.9%, p = .515, OR 1.07, 95% CI [0.88, 1.30]). All of the Caesarean Sections were performed according to obstetric indications, but had nothing to do with CCAMs or related complications. The CCAMs group was not at a statistically significant risk for preterm birth, and premature birth of CCAMs took place in only three patients at 35, 35 and 36 gestational weeks, respectively. The average birthweight was similar to control group (p = .394). The male-to-female ratio of CCAMs was approximately 1.4:1. According to the detail delivery information of 35 CCAM patients who were delivered in our hospital, the amount of postpartum bleeding, Apgar score at 1st minutes and duration of NICU hospitalisation were significantly different between the CCAMs and healthy controls (Table 2). However, according to the neonatal nursing records, the main reason of hospitalisation was for close observation without symptoms.

We performed a prospective observational pilot study (July 2020 – February 2021). Participants were recruited among student peer-teachers at the Clinical Skills Center, Medical University of Graz, and neonatal nursing staff at the Division of Neonatology Graz, Austria. Participation was voluntary without financial compensation.
