“…Money was vital for the mothers to care for their preterm infants as they needed to purchase particular nappies, formula milk, blankets and clothes, or taking their preterm infants to the clinic for follow-up care. Boutain, Foreman and Hitti ( 2017 ) confirmed that mothers perceived their relationship with their life partners as challenging at the time of caring for their preterm infants, which was echoed by some of the mothers’ stories in this study.…”

Background Pregnant women who experience preterm labour rush to public hospitals closest to the informal settlement in which they reside. Preterm infants are discharged when they reach a certain weight. Mothers take their preterm infants to their homes inside the informal settlements. Yet, preterm infants have special needs and require specific management. Research confirmed that nurses working in community clinics near informal settlements are unaware of the challenges faced by such mothers. Community nurses are at the heart of nursing, they work closest to the community and have a distinct opportunity to provide contextual, community-based care and support to these mothers, to promote good health and prevent diseases. Aim This article aims to enhance community nurses’ insight about the mothers’ experiences in caring for their preterm infants post-hospitalisation. Setting The study was conducted in an informal settlement in Midvaal, Gauteng. Methods A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design was used. In-depth, phenomenological interviews were conducted with 10 purposefully sampled mothers to explore their experiences in caring for their preterm infants in an informal settlement. Data were analysed using Giorgi’s coding method. Ethical approval was received from the University of Johannesburg. Measures were applied to ensure trustworthiness. Results Three themes emerged: mothers experienced intrapersonal responses, interpersonal responses and numerous physical challenges in taking care of their preterm infants. Conclusion Study findings revealed that mothers experienced several responses in caring for their preterm infants. Sharing their experiences can enhance community clinic nurses’ insight to provide contextual health education.

“…Having a single income was difficult. Participants with life partners who provided financially in caring for the preterm infants still mentioned the money being insufficient, as the preterm birth of the infant added to the costs of daily living (Boutain et al 2017 ).…”

“…Indeed, resilience during extreme social and health-related events may be key to survival, adaptation, and transformation for individuals and communities (Abbott, Klein, Hamilton, & Rosenthal, 2009;Bradshaw, Hoelscher, & Richardson, 2007;Zamboni & Martin, 2020). Research has shown that large health datasets offer new opportunities to understand wholeperson health, including the social determinants of health (Monsen et al, 2017;Monsen, Peters, Schlesner, Vanderboom, & Holland, 2015). However, the notion of resilience has yet not been studied using such existing data.…”

“…The terms and definitions of standardized nursing terminologies such as the Omaha System are a granular set of concepts that together describe a comprehensive, holistic conceptual framework for health (Martin, 2005). These terms and definitions may be used to operationally define and represent more complex concepts such as the social determinants of health, health literacy, and wellbeing (Monsen, 2018;Monsen et al, 2015;Monsen et al, 2017;Michalowski et al, 2018). Conducting advanced exploratory analyses using data generated by standardized nursing terminologies is possible because this rigorous definitional work was completed a priori (Martin, 2005;Monsen, 2018).…”

“…The community data had more strengths by concept (74%) than the COVID-19 data (64%), (t = -2.49, df = 19, p = .022). Comparing community and COVID-19 differences, there were notably fewer strengths in income and social contact during COVID-19, both of which are recognized as impactful social determinants of health (see Table S1; Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2014;Monsen et al, 2017).…”

Purpose: To explore resilience in the context of whole-person health and the social determinants of health at the individual and community levels using large, standardized nursing datasets. Design: A retrospective, observational, correlational study of existing deidentified Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)compliant data using the Omaha System and its equivalent, Simplified Omaha System Terms. Methods: We used three samples to explore for patterns of resilience: pre-COVID-19 community-generated data (N = 383), pre-COVID-19 clinical documentation data (N = 50,509), and during-COVID-19 communitygenerated data (N = 102). Community participants used the My Strengths + My Health (MSMH) app to generate the two community datasets. The clinical data were obtained from the Omaha System Data Collaborative. We operationalized resilience as Omaha System Status scores of 4 (minimal signs or symptoms) or 5 (no signs or symptoms) as a discrete strengths measure for each of 42 Omaha System problem concepts. We used visualization techniques and standard descriptive and inferential statistics for analysis. Findings: It was feasible to examine resilience, operationalized as strengths by problem concept, within existing Omaha System or Simplified Omaha System Terms (MSMH) data. We identified several patterns indicating strengths and resilience that were consistent with literature related to community connectedness for community participants, and sleep for individuals in the clinical data. Conclusions: When used consistently, the Omaha System within MSMH enabled robust data collection for a comprehensive, holistic assessment, resulting in better whole-person data including strengths, and enabled us to discover a potentially useful approach for defining resilience in new ways using standardized nursing data. Clinical Relevance: The notion that how we assess individuals and communities (i.e., the completeness of our assessments in relation to wholeperson health) determines what we can know about resilience is seemingly in opposition to the critical need to decrease documentation burden, despite the potential to shift from a problem deficit-based assessment to one of strengths and resilience. However, a patient-facing comprehensive assessment that includes resilience and the social determinants of health can provide a transformative, whole-person platform for strengths-based care and population management.

Health equity knowledge development: A conversation with Black nurse researchers

Can the institutional systems that prepare Black nurse researchers question the ways their systemic pathways have impacted health equity knowledge development in nursing? We invite our readers to keep this question in mind and engage with our conversation as Black nurse researchers, scholars, educators, and clinicians. The purpose of our conversation, and this article, is to explore the transactional impact of knowledge development pathways and Black faculty retention pathways on the state of health equity knowledge in nursing today. Over a series of conversations, we discuss the research exploitation of communities of color, deficit research funding, knowledge capitalization, the marginalization of diversity as a continuous process, a lack of sociocultural authority, and our thoughts on solutions. We conclude by using the wisdom of a generation to answer our initial question.
