Abstract:
Objective:To systematically evaluate qualitative studies on the perceptions and feelings of nursing staffs implementing neonatal palliative care, aiming to provide insights for advancing clinical practice in China.Methods:The databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and PsycINFO were included to retrieve the literature on the perceptions and feelings of nursing staffs from inception until March 28, 2024. The literature quality was assessed utilizing the Joanna Briggs Institute Australian Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research (2016), and the findings were synthesized through Meta-integration techniques.Results:A total of 12 studies were included, yielding 46 themes were extracted; 8 categories were summarized and 3 synthesis results were obtained: nursing staffs experience both negative and positive aspects, the real-life challenges faced by nursing staffs in implementing neonatal palliative care, and the practical experiences and needs of nursing staffs regarding neonatal palliative care.Conclusions:It is crucial to continually address nursing staffs′ negative emotions and tackle challenges related to staffing, training, communication, and ethical dilemmas to ensure appropriate end-of-life symptom management in neonatal palliative care.
