Barriers and Enablers to Nurses' Implementation of Nonpharmacological Interventions for Infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)

You are being asked to participate in a research study.

A study to investigate barriers and enablers to nurses' implementation of nonpharmacological interventions for infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) will be conducted to inform the development of educational programs for nurses aimed at facilitating the implementation of nonpharmacological nursing interventions to improve the care of a vulnerable and rapidly-growing patient population: the NAS maternal-infant dyad.

● We will be recruiting nurses who are familiar with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and have at least 6 months of experience caring for infants diagnosed with NAS. Study participants will be nurses recruited from the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) and the Level 2 Neonatal Nursery at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

● Study participants will be asked to complete a Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire - NAS (DIBQ-NAS) and a demographic survey administered through REDCap via email. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to be interviewed by the principal investigator, which should take approximately 30-45 minutes. The interviews will be conducted in a private conference room at the Children's Hospital at MUSC, or via phone or videoconference according to the participants' preference.

● Participating in this survey constitutes permission. All survey results are anonymous and confidential. Participants will receive no direct benefit from the study. However, the information gained from this study will inform the development of educational programs for nurses to improve the care of the NAS maternal-infant dyad.

● This survey was approved by NANN's Research Committee to be distributed via NANN's social media and/or the My NANN Community. This survey was approved by the Institutional Board for Human Research (IRB), Office of Research Integrity (ORI) with the Medical University of South Carolina (Pro00080105).

● Study participants who choose to complete the DIBQ-NAS survey will be entered in a drawing to receive 1 of 6 $25 gift cards and those volunteering to complete an interview with the PI will be entered in a drawing to receive 1 of 2 $25 gift cards.
