‘Rooming-in’, an effective alternative treatment for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome?

All Episodes

January 22, 2019 • 12 mins

Although recent studies suggest that ‘rooming-in’ is associated with a decreased need for pharmacological treatment and length of stay for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), more research is required to determine the effective components and short-term and long-term NAS outcomes, including risks. Professor Alison Twycross talks to Dr Karen A McQueen, Lakehead University School of Nursing, Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada, about her recent commentary published by Evidence-Based Nursing: “‘Rooming-in’ could be an effective non-pharmacological treatment for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome”. Read it for free for the next two months on the EBN website: https://ebn.bmj.com/content/21/4/110.
