Cultural sensitivity and emotional resilience education improve infant health and wellbeing in end-of-life care in neonatal intensive care units
Taylor E, Tatterton M · Evidence-Based Nursing · 2026
Parents of infants on neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) experience high levels of emotional distress, requiring emotional support from practitioners. Caring for critically ill infants requires high levels of emotional and technical skills that nursing and midwifery education often fail to address,1 leaving students feeling unprepared and vulnerable.2 Neonatal end-of-life care is a particularly challenging aspect of NICU care, and to date, there has been little focus on the placement experience of students in these areas caring for dying babies. NICUs are one of the few clinical areas in which nursing and midwifery students have the opportunity to work collaboratively, providing a unique opportunity to examine the pedagogy and pastoral support of both courses.
