Raising issues about children's overweight – maternal and child health nurses' experiencesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. Raising issues about weight can be difficult, especially if parents are overweight themselves. Further research in communications is needed to understand and approach parents better [ndash] especially overweight parents [ndash] about their children's weight. Interventions involving patient-centred approaches in this context have potential, but the area is still relatively unexplored. Maternal and child health centres could be important contributors in such future interventions. (Source: Journal of Advanced Nursing)

Medication-free colonoscopy – factors related to pain and its assessmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. It is possible to perform colonoscopy without medication with most patients and focus sedation and pain medication on at-risk patients, especially those who are nervous. Before the procedure, nurses must devote time to discovering which patients are nervous and at risk of having a painful colonoscopy to present them for sedation. To improve pain management for patients having colonoscopy, endoscopists and nurses should participate systematically in pain education and use pain scales. (Source: Journal of Advanced Nursing)

Parenting self-efficacy after childbirthEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion. Assessments of parenting self-efficacy are recommended to identify at-risk groups and at-risk parents. More research is recommended to look into the effect of rooming-in, feeding practices, fathers' presence and social support from personnel and parenting self-efficacy and to evaluate risk scales for at-risk parents. Parent attributes had a greater effect on mothers' parenting self-efficacy, while environmental attributes had a greater effect on fathers' parenting self-efficacy. At-risk parents can be supported by conducting face-to-face discussions about significant topics. (Source: Journal of Advanced Nursing)
