The postnatal period is a vulnerable time that involves reorientation and new experiences. Early visits by a midwife may therefore help enhance the women’s perception of coping.
Nurses’ psychosocial challenges are transformed into something private and personal instead of being solved at an overarching level in the organisation.
Healthcare personnel in interdisciplinary teams believed that registered nurses made a distinct and recognised contribution to the collaborative effort. In particular, they valued the registered nurses’ somatic knowledge and their milieu therapy expertise.
Teenage children’s diabetes diagnoses are an enormous emotional strain on mothers. They need support from healthcare personnel to cope with the stressful situation.
