In it for the long haul: an update on living with Long Covid

Same phenomenon, different experiences: a qualitative approach to clinical challenges

Complex clinical challenges faced by nurses and midwives need complex solutions that require an understanding of how different individuals experience and make sense of a shared situation or scenario. In this podcast, we delve into the use of a particular research approach called Phenomenography; a qualitative approach that aims to uncover the nuances of the similarities and differences of groups of people with a shared experience. Deputy editor of EBN, Professor Lisa Kidd, interviews Dr Kaye Rolls, Lecturer in Nursing at the University of Wollongong, Australia.

Hospital quality of care linked to racial disparities in unexpected newborn complications

Today we discuss a study that describes associations between race/ethnicity, hospital of birth and ‘unexpected newborn complications’ in low-risk term neonates in New York City. Kristine Schmitz (1) and Lawrence Charles Kleinman (2) are the authors of a commentary published by EBN on that study. They tell Evidence-Based Nursing Associate Editor, Kerry Gaskin, how the quality of care in the hospital of delivery has a direct relation with more unexpected neonatal complications in black and hispanic infants.
