Summary: This study aimed to examine distress profiles of mothers of preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and their relationship to maternal and child outcomes at child age 5 years. The results revealed four distinct maternal profiles: low symptomatology, high NICU stress, high depression and anxiety, and high state anxiety. Social determinants of health factors were found to distinguish these profiles. Mothers in the high depression and anxiety profile reported more anxiety and life stress at follow-up, and their children experienced more anxious/depressed symptoms.

Summary: Three distinct neurobehavioral profiles were identified in healthy, full-term infants, with hypotonic and fussy neurobehavioral features related to neonatal brain volumes and head circumference, but not prenatal exposure to socioeconomic or psychosocial adversity. Further follow-up will determine the potential clinical or developmental outcomes associated with these profiles at birth.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal resilience and differences in postpartum depression after admission of newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. The results showed that mothers with lower resilience were more likely to experience depressive symptoms, while social support and emotional health-promoting activities had a positive impact on reducing the risk of depression.

Summary: The study did not find significant differences in postnatal depression, stress, and attachment between mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic and before the pandemic. However, there was a trend of increased depression symptoms in mothers during the pandemic, which correlated significantly with attachment and stress scores.

Summary: Maternal distress during NICU hospitalization is characterized by symptoms such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and post-traumatic stress, often following a specific trajectory. There is inconsistency in the measurement timing of distress and the relationship between relevant variables in different studies. Future research should focus on developing a comprehensive screening tool and addressing gaps in included populations.

Summary: The study found that compared to infants with English-speaking mothers, infants with Spanish-speaking mothers had slower growth, while infants with mothers speaking other non-English languages had increased mother's milk at discharge, necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis, and slower growth. Adjusted results suggested that preterm babies with non-English-speaking mothers had worse outcomes than those with English-speaking mothers.

Summary: This study investigated the choices nurses make in content and language when writing diaries on behalf of critically ill patients and how these choices shape the narrative of critical care in the diary. The study identified three prominent strategies: making the situation of intensive care more manageable, showing acts of perceiving the patient, and constituting relations through actions and interactions. These strategies engage the patient and depict nurses' care, empathy, and support, but also reveal the nurses' power to interpret and downplay the patient's experiences.

Results showed that approximately 61.9% of the surveyed mothers reported high levels of stress. COVID-19-related grief was significantly associated with higher levels of maternal stress. The study has certain limitations.

Summary: Nutritional therapy for critically ill patients should be tailored to individual patients, focusing on the phase of critical illness, metabolic tolerance, leading symptoms, and comorbidities. Personalized and disease-specific nutritional therapy in the ICU requires an interdisciplinary approach and frequent reevaluation for optimal clinical outcomes.

Summary: The study interviewed 20 mothers of very preterm infants and found that they generally viewed kangaroo care as a common sensory intervention in the NICU, and were supportive of developing sensory-based guidelines and utilizing volunteers for interventions. Mothers' perceptions were tied to their NICU experiences, eliciting strong emotions.

Summary: Mothers of preterm infants admitted in the NICU experience significant stress which is correlated with maternal age and NICU treatment duration and is associated with frequency of NICU visits, presence of neonatal seizures, and need for ventilator support. Parental role alteration is the greatest stressor followed by Infant Appearance and Behavior and NICU-surrounding stressor factors which show the need for interventions and counseling focused on mothers' role, their involvement in infant's care, and thus, family-centered care implementation.

Summary: Despite positive attitudes among nurses towards pharmacovigilance activities and ADR reporting, there is a lack of regular knowledge and practice in this area. Improving nurses' knowledge through in-service training and degree-level education, as well as addressing the main barriers to ADR reporting, may help achieve a higher level of reporting.

Summary: This study examines the challenges faced by Iranian nurses in providing end-of-life care for patients with heart failure. The findings show that nurses experience adverse consequences related to compassion fatigue and ineffective care, as well as a lack of palliative care services and support. Therefore, investment in education and research in this area is needed, with particular emphasis on preventing compassion fatigue.

Summary: This study examined the challenges and preparation strategies faced by nurses in Iran who have stopped practicing and returned to professional nursing practice. The results showed that the lack of an RTPNP program makes it difficult for returners to provide PNP to clients. Organizational support and RTPNP programs are recommended strategies to help prepare these returners for PNP.
