Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to enhance outcomes for newborns with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) by adopting an eat, sleep, console (ESC) approach and changing hospital monitoring policies.
- - A chart review showed that neonates receiving the ESC intervention had shorter hospital stays (average 4.53 days) compared to those under the previous monitoring method (average 7.45 days), although more in the ESC group were given morphine.
- - Nurses generally reacted positively to the ESC implementation, believing it was both safe and manageable, indicating a successful policy shift in the hospital.
Objective: To determine if a policy change that limited the ability of parental caregivers to leave the postpartum unit during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) scores, admissions to the NICU for NAS treatment, and length of stay (LOS) on the nursing unit.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting/local Problem: During the pandemic, a change in policy limited parental caregivers from leaving the nursing unit.
