| Abstract: | AimTo evaluate missed nursing care (MNC) phenomenon on Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) infants.DesignA cross-sectional study.MethodsA sample of 113 eligible Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Midwives (RMs) were prospectively recruited at the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). The study uses a self -designed authors questionnaire (ADQ) and the Neonatal Extent of Work Rationing Instrument (NEWRI).ResultsMNC evidence was the most significant in the parental support and teaching subscales (M = 2.21, SD = 0.87) and the least in life support and discharge planning (M = 1.19, SD = 0.9). MNC in the care coordination and discharge planning subscales significantly (p < 0.038) depends on the belief that a nurse's family issues affect the quality of their work. MNC in the life support and technology-oriented nursing care domain (p < 0.033) significantly depends on the belief that the ward manager is a good manager and leader. |
