مستخلص: | Aim: To obtain a quantitative description of mother-newborn presentations and to identify their nursing care requirements while in hospital. Background: Recommendations on minimum staffing levels are broad based with implications that all new mothers and newborns are normal without complications. However, in a large tertiary centre, mother-newborn dyads do present with complications, suggesting variation in nursing care requirements. Method: Two studies were conducted: (1) a cross-sectional retrospective, descriptive study; and (2) a convenience sampling survey professional nurses' expert opinions. Results: A sample of 1224 mother and/or newborn presentations was retrospectively classified. Almost half of the patient presentations were classified as having complications. Nursing care ratios required for postpartum ranged from 1:1 to 9:1. Conclusion: An objective classification system was obtained from nursing experts in caring for mother and newborn with variable needs, in a hospitalized setting. Implications for Nursing Management: This comprehensive classification system can be used to objectively align nursing resources to mother/newborn care needs. |
