dc.description.abstract | Nurses as the first responder of cardiac arrest and stopped breathing incident in
premature neonates has the responsibility to decide resuscitation immediately. Accuracy and
speed of initial decision making are needed to improve the success of resuscitation, many
things that affect the initial decision-making in resuscitation, but studies related to the
experience of nurses in the initial decision-making of resuscitation has not been widely
studied. The research objective was to explore the experiences of nurses in making the initial
decision to perform resuscitation in critical ill preterm neonates in neonates ward. Methods:
The design study is qualitative interpretative phenomenological approach. Deep Interview
had used open ended questions involved 6 nurses in neonatal ward. Data were collected and
analyzed using thematic analyzed approach based on Braun & Clarke, 2006. Results: The
study resulted in two themes, namely early detection of emergency and intuition nurse. Early
detection of emergency can be used as consideration for the nurses to be ready to face the
possibility resuscitation can occur at any time, thereby reducing the risk of death and
disability in premature neonates. Intuition nurse built from experience, sensitivity and
automation of action. Intuition nurse can shorten the time and accuracy of initial decision
making in resuscitation. Conclusion: The initial decisions nurses in neonatal resuscitation
require accurate of early detection and sharp intuition of nurse to obtain optimal results in
preterm neonate resuscitation. | en_US |
