Abstract

Research about the effects of nurse staffing in the perinatal setting has been limited. To guide practice and ensure optimal outcomes, data are greatly needed on the type and amount of nursing care needed by women and their fetuses during labor. The Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) is sponsoring a study about nursing care during labor and birth with a focus on potential relationships between missed care (delayed, unfinished, or completely missed nursing care that was expected as part of routine care for childbearing women and their fetuses/newborns during the labor and birth process and the 2-hour postpartum recovery period) and nurse staffing and selected patient outcomes. Findings may support practice recommendations and suggest directions for future research.
