Development and Content Validation of the Communication, Organization, and Intrafamilial Beliefs in Neonatology Scale for Family Resilience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Family resilience in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a promising avenue for promoting parental mental health, yet no tool is available to assess it. This study aimed to develop a new scale to measure family resilience in French-speaking parents during the NICU hospitalization and evaluate content validation. This methodological study was conducted in Quebec and included two phases: (a) item development process and (b) content validity evaluation process using successive quantitative and qualitative methods.

Family Resilience as an Emerging Concept in Neonatology: Evidence From a Metasummary Review.

Background: Family resilience can be observed through specific resilience-promoting processes, namely, shared belief systems, communication, and organizational processes, but the concept remains mostly unstudied in neonatology. This metasummary aims to evaluate the frequency of family resilience processes in qualitative scientific literature to illustrate how family resilience is exhibited in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting.

Methods: A search among 4 databases yielded 7029 results, which were reviewed for inclusion.

Comprehensive mapping of NICU developmental care nursing interventions and related sensitive outcome indicators: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infant are still a contemporary concern. To counter the detrimental effects resulting from the hospitalisation in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), developmental care (DC) interventions have emerged as a philosophy of care aimed at protecting and enhancing preterm infant's development and promoting parental outcomes. In the past two decades, many authors have suggested DC models, core measures, practice guidelines and standards of care but outlined different groupings of interventions rather than specific interventions that can be used in NICU clinical practice.

Neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants who have experienced procedural pain in the neonatal intensive care unit: a systematic review protocol.

Objective: This systematic review will assess the association between painful procedures performed on preterm infants while hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit and short-, mid-, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Introduction: Preterm infants hospitalized in the neonatal unit undergo many painful procedures. The repetition of these painful procedures in a preterm infant with an immature nervous system can have consequences for their neurodevelopment.

French translation and preliminary psychometric validation of a skin-to-skin contact instrument for nurses (SSC-F).

Purpose: To translate and conduct the preliminary psychometric validation of a skin-to-skin contact instrument in French (SSC-F) with a sample of nurses from Quebec and France working in neonatal intensive care units.

Methods: The 20 items of the SSC instrument containing four subscales (knowledge, attitudes and beliefs, training and education and implementation), developed by Vittner et al. (2017), was translated into French.

Cross-cultural adaptations of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale: a systematic review protocol of measurement properties.

Objective: This review aims to critically appraise the measurement properties and adaptation processes of all cross-cultural adaptations of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale.

Background: A number of family resilience instruments have been developed over the past decade; however, the Family Resilience Assessment Scale reports the best psychometric properties among populations with health issues. Since its publication in 2005, numerous translations and adaptations have been undertaken to use this scale with culturally diverse populations.

French Translation, Adaptation, and Initial Validation of the Nurses' Attitudes and Perceptions of Pain Assessment in Neonatal Intensive Care Questionnaire (NAPPAQ).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to translate, adapt and conduct initial psychometric validation of the French version of the Nurses' Attitudes and Perceptions of Pain Assessment in neonatal intensive care Questionnaire (NAPPAQ) developed by Polkki in 2010.

Background: Assessing nurses' perceptions, attitudes and knowledge about pain management in preterm infants is important to improve neonatal practices.

Methods: A sample of French-speaking nurses (n = 147) from Quebec and France working in neonatal intensive care was selected to validate the 46-item questionnaire.
