Expectations of Pregnant Women of Mexican Origin Regarding Their Health Care Providers
ConclusionThese women wanted their providers to provide them with “everything,” to be direct, to speak their language, and to present information as friends. Health care providers need to be able to provide communication not only in the participant's preferred language, but also in a way that is culturally sensitive.

Self‐Report of Eating Disorder Symptoms Among Women With and Without Infertility
ConclusionsResults demonstrated that women seeking treatment for ovulatory and unexplained infertility have greater drive for thinness and bulimic symptoms but not body dissatisfaction or dietary restraint compared to women seeking primary care. The results suggest that infertility and routine health care visits may provide opportunities for early identification and treatment of women with ED symptomatology. Future studies may benefit from further elucidation of the potential role of ED symptoms in the etiology and maintenance of infertility in, particularly, normal‐weight women.

An Innovative Nursing Approach to Caring for an Obstetric Patient With Rape Trauma Syndrome (RTS)
ABSTRACT Rape trauma syndrome (RTS) is a posttraumatic stress disorder that can be triggered by routine procedures experienced during childbirth. An explanation of the signs and symptoms of RTS is provided, including how to avoid retraumatization during intrapartum care. A case report is presented from a provider perspective to illustrate the seriousness of this disorder and the importance of delivering respectful care. A new approach to obstetric routines is warranted to avoid further traumatizing the woman with RTS. (Source: Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing)

Postdischarge Breastfeeding Outcomes of Infants With Complex Anomalies That Require Surgery
ConclusionEven for the most surgically complex infant/mother dyads, breastfeeding outcomes can improve significantly with a strong prenatal lactation program, nursing staff with specific breastfeeding education, and a hospital culture that values and supports breastfeeding and the provision of human milk. These findings support the use of hospital‐grade electric breast pumps postdischarge for families of infants with complex anomalies that require surgery, as approximately one third of the cohort went home on tube feeds and their mothers continued to pump their breast milk at home.

The Voices of Breastfeeding Resource Nurses
ConclusionsCompelling stories illustrated the role of the BRN as patient advocate and educator for staff and families. Knowing the evidence about lactation and breastfeeding empowered the BRN to be successful in his or her role. The BRNs derived great personal and professional satisfaction from their roles. The BRN program can be easily adapted to other pediatric care centers and will enable improved breastfeeding outcomes at the point of care.

Development of a Neonatal End‐of‐Life Care Education Program for NICU Nurses in Japan
ABSTRACT We developed the first end‐of‐life care education program for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses in Japan. It focused on ethical decision making, care of dying neonates, bereavement, and cultural communication. The program improved nurses’ knowledge, F(2.16, 62.5) = 260.6, p < .001, and understanding, F(2.05, 59.4) = 29.1, p < .001, and significantly reduced weaknesses in neonatal end‐of‐life care. It was considered well designed and may provide further mentoring support for NICU nurses. (Source: Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing)

Breastfeeding and Use of Social Media Among First‐Time African American Mothers
ConclusionSocial media are an important vehicle to disseminate infant feeding information; however, they are not currently being used to full potential. Our findings suggest that future interventions geared toward African American mothers and their support persons should include social media approaches. The way individuals gather, receive, and interpret information is dynamic. The increasing popularity and use of social media platforms offers the opportunity to create more innovative, targeted mobile health interventions for infant feeding and breastfeeding promotion.
