Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with low birth weight (≤1250g) who were born to single parents by the time they reached 3 years corrected age.
- Out of 1900 eligible infants, data was collected for 1395, revealing that those from single-parent families had worse outcomes, including higher mortality rates (18% vs. 11%), lower IQ levels, and increased instances of neurodevelopmental impairments.
- Key factors influencing poorer intellectual functioning included single-parent status, maternal education, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and severe neurological injury.
Purpose: To solve large complex health-related problems, there has been a progressive movement towards interdisciplinary research teams; however, there has been minimal investigation into the attributes of successful teams. The purpose of this literature review was to examine the attributes that are important for the effective functioning of these teams.
Method: Literature from medicine, nursing and psychology databases, published between 1990 and 2010, was reviewed.
