[Article Title: Immigrant Women's Experiences as Mothers in the United States: A Scoping Review / Sarah Oerther, Helen W Lach and Daniel Oerther, p. 6-16] Abstract: Background: Immigrant mothers are raising an increasing proportion of the population of children in the United States. Purpose: The purpose of this review was to explore existing research on immigrant women's experiences of being mothers in the United States and identify key concepts, gaps in the literature, and implications for future research that builds on the strengths of immigrant women while addressing their unique challenges. Study design and methods: In this scoping review, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, JUSTOR, and PsycINFO databases were searched using a combination of applicable key words. Results: Twenty-two articles were selected. Few studies were identified. Analyses revealed a broad array in purpose, populations, theoretical frameworks, settings, study instruments, and practices, making comparison difficult. Although mothering is a universal experience among women who have children, little is known about the broad experiences of immigrant women from different cultures. Clinical implications: Immigrant mothers are not a monolithic group. More research is needed to provide a deeper understanding of strengths, challenges, and solutions of various immigrant groups, which can facilitate development of nursing interventions that support immigrant women and their children in the United States, and strengthen their families.;[Article Title: Emerging Views of Kinships Created Through Oocyte Donation / Patricia E Hershberger, Martha Driessnack, Karen Kavanaugh and Susan C Klock, p. 18-24] Abstract: Background: The United States has the highest number of oocyte donation cycles, which account for an estimated one-quarter of all worldwide oocyte donation cycles. Although there has been a steady rise in oocyte donation treatment, understanding the kinship views of those intimately involved is lacking. These include women oocyte donors and parents who received donor oocytes to establish a pregnancy. Purpose: To explore the views and perspectives about genetic relationships and lineages among women who were oocyte donors and parents who received donated oocytes 10 to 12 years after donors and parents underwent oocyte donation procedures to establish a pregnancy. Study design and methods: A longitudinal cohort of pregnant women who received donor oocytes participated in an expanded, follow-up study 12 years postpregnancy that included the women's heterosexual partners and biological fathers. Women who donated oocytes anonymously 10 to 12 years prior also participated. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze participants' in-depth interviews. Results: Six women who received donor oocytes and their heterosexual partners and biological fathers (n = 6), representing 12 children conceived by oocyte donation, and 3 women who donated oocytes anonymously representing 3 children participated. Themes that emerged from the women oocyte donors included a reexamination of anonymity and contact with recipient families, managing disclosure to their own children about possible half-siblings, and potential for consanguinity. For recipient parents, there was an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the women oocyte donors, concerns about navigating genetic information gaps, and contemplating future contact with the donors and/or half-siblings. Clinical implications: Nurses can play a vital role in supporting and educating women oocyte donors and recipient parents about navigating complex relationship issues in donor kinships.;[Article Title: Perceptions of Birth Fathers about their Open Adoption / Lynn B. Clutter, p. 26-32] Abstract: Background: Birth fathers are the least known of the adoption triad (adoptee, birth family, adoptive family). There is a gap in evidence about birth father involvement in open adoptions. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore birth fathers' experiences of open adoption and contact patterns with birth children. Methods: Ten birth fathers of open adoptions were recruited from two agencies. Birth fathers participated in recorded telephone interviews using naturalistic inquiry. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed for qualitative content themes. Results: At conception and birth, birth fathers were not in a situation suitable to raising a child but wanted to do the right thing and have ongoing contact. Birth fathers' experiences and contact patterns within the adoption triad revealed positive impact on their own lives and on other triad members. Openness provided opportunities to develop relationships. Contact and time together were beneficial and valued. Birth fathers believed themselves to be an important part of the village needed to raise the child well and emerge as a new kind of family. Clinical Implications: Nurses interface with birth fathers and adoption triads in a variety of settings. Birth father status and degree of openness in the adoption placement can have an impact on his wellbeing. Nurses can participate in optimizing outcomes during pregnancy, childbirth, and childhood.;[Article Title: Parental Concerns about Newborn Feeding Post Hospital Discharge / Lauren Fuhrman and Erin Sundseth Ross, p. 34-40] Abstract: Background: Post hospital discharge newborn feeding education mostly focuses on breastfeeding and is primarily targeted at term infants. Preterm and late-preterm infants are at risk for poor feeding postdischarge, and feeding challenges are common after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Families often have questions about feeding their infants after hospital discharge. Purpose: The goal of this project was to collect data on what questions parents have about feeding their baby after discharge and what strategies may be helpful to improve feeding experiences. These data were intended to inform plans to offer a no-cost newborn feeding clinic for all new parents after hospital discharge. Methods: A speech-language pathologist attended a preexisting lactation support group to meet with families and provide feeding support. The speech-language pathologist collected data on types of questions parents asked, education provided, and changes made during the visit to improve feeding experiences. Results: Sixty-eight families were seen in the first 6 months of the clinic. Fifty-eight were families of babies cared for in the well baby nursery; 10 were families of graduates from the NICU. Seventy-five percent of the infants were born full-term. Maternal questions focused primarily on bottles and recognizing satiety. The most commonly provided changes included trials of different bottles or positions to improve infant comfort during feedings. Clinical implications: New parents often have questions about breastfeeding and bottle feedings after going home. Using these data, a decision was made to continue the no-cost infant feeding support group to address questions and provide guidance to parents after hospital discharge.;[Article Title: Korean Immigrant Women's Postpartum Experiences in the United States / Meekyung Han, Deepika Goyal, Jiyoung Lee, Hyang Cho and Amber Kim, p. 42-48] Abstract: Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects one in seven women in the United States. Korean Americans are one of the six largest Asian American (AA) subgroups, representing 9% of the AA population in the United States. Women of Asian descent have not always been represented in studies of PPD. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand postpartum experiences, perceptions of PPD, and mental health help-seeking among Korean women living in the United States. Methods: Individual, face-to-face, semistructured interviews of Korean immigrant women, over age 18, who were able to read, write, and speak English or Korean, and who had given birth to a live infant within the past 12 months, were conducted using a qualitative exploratory design. Thematic analysis approach was used to analyze qualitative data The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Screening Scale (EPDS) was used to assess frequency of depressive symptoms over the past week. Results: Eleven women participated. Total EPDS scores ranged from 2 to 17 (mean 6.5, SD = 3.2); three women had scores indicating a high risk for developing PPD. |

| Summary, etc. |
Two overall themes, postpartum experiences and perceptions of PPD and professional help-seeking, along with several subthemes were identified. They included postpartum challenges, importance of keeping Korean postpartum traditions, desire for professional Korean postpartum care, "Sanhoo-Joeri" postpartum support and social networking, normalization of PPD symptoms, family first for health seeking attitude and behavior, and stigma attached to mental health care. Clinical implications: Nurses working with Korean women during postpartum can provide culturally competent care by assessing postpartum care needs, respecting cultural practices, and providing resources such as Korean postpartum care centers Sanhoo-Joeriwon, which can be found in major U.S. cities with large Korean communities (e.g., Los Angeles), and in-home postpartum care providers, Sanhoo-Joerisa. Nurses should be comfortable educating women about normal signs and symptoms of PPD and those requiring immediate medical follow-up.;[Article Title: Pregnant African American Women's Perceptions of Neighborhood, Racial Discrimination, and Psychological Distress as Influences on Birth Outcomes / Emily Dove-Medows, Amanda Deriemacker, Rhonda Dailey, Timiya S Nolan, Deborah S Walker, Dawn P Misra, Karen Kavanaugh and Carmen Giurgescu, p. 49-56] Abstract: Background: African American women are more likely to experience preterm birth compared with White women. Social factors such as neighborhood disorder and experiences of racial discrimination, which disproportionately affect African American women, may partially explain these disparities. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine pregnant African American women's perceptions of neighborhood disorder, racial discrimination, and psychological distress and whether these concepts were viewed as influences on birth outcomes. Study design and methods: Using a mixed-methods approach, seven pregnant African American women completed questionnaires including scales for neighborhood disorder (Ross Neighborhood Disorder Scale), racial discrimination (Experiences of Discrimination), and psychological distress (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale; Psychological General Well-Being Index). All constructs were also assessed by semistructured interviews. Within- and across-case analyses were conducted to compare agreement and discordance between the data sources for each construct and to note patterns in the data. Results: The qualitative interviews provided data about women's experiences that were not captured by questionnaires alone. All of the women disclosed concerns about neighborhood conditions, experiences of discrimination, and psychological distress either reported on the questionnaires, during the qualitative interviews, or both. The mixed-methods approach provided a rich source of data that brought into focus the depth of the perceptions around these constructs. Clinical implications: Maternal-child nurses should assess perceptions of neighborhood environment, racial discrimination, and psychological distress, as these factors may increase the risk for adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. |
