Navigating paradoxes in open-bay neonatal intensive care: A qualitative study of nurses' experiences
Purpose
To explore nurses' lived experiences of working in open-bay neonatal intensive care units and how the visible environment influences their professional practice.
Methods
A qualitative descriptive study using focus group methodology. Twenty-five nurses participated in five focus groups. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results
Three interconnected paradoxes emerged: professional visibility versus personal exposure; collective support versus individual autonomy; and professional boundaries versus emotional connection with families. Nurses developed adaptive, context-sensitive strategies to navigate these paradoxes through dynamic professional reasoning.
Conclusions
This study reveals paradox navigation as a fundamental yet unrecognized competency in neonatal intensive care nursing. Unlike traditional approaches seeking resolution, effective neonatal nurses hold contradictory demands in dynamic tension.
Practice implications
Nursing education must incorporate paradox management skills essential for contemporary neonatal care. Healthcare organizations should recognize that certain workplace tensions represent inherent features requiring navigation rather than elimination, offering new pathways for supporting nurse resilience.
期刊介绍:
Aims & Scope: This is the practical, bimonthly, research-based journal for all professionals concerned with the care of neonates and their families, both in hospital and the community. It aims to support the development of the essential practice, management, education and health promotion skills required by these professionals. The JNN will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between the range of professionals working in this field; promote cooperation between these professionals; facilitate partnership care with families; provide information and informed opinion; promote innovation and change in the care of neonates and their families; and provide an education resource for this important rapidly developing field.
