  Title Nursing and midwifery attitudes towards withdrawal of care in a neonatal intensive care unit: Part 1. Literature review Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Neonatal Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9 Issue 2 Pages 45-47  
  Keywords Attitude of health personnel; Neonatal nursing; Ethics; Technology  
  Abstract This article seeks to investigate the attitude of nurses and midwives to the withdrawal of care from sick neonates. Advanced technology results in the survival of increasingly premature babies with extremely low birthweights and this has inevitably led to an increase in the ethical dilemmas faced by neonatal staff as to whether continued treatment is actually in the best interests of these infants. Part 1 reviews the literature on this subject. Part 2 describes the results of a survey carried out in a New Zealand NICU.
