Few studies have examined the breastfeeding experience that women face upon their return to school. Research aim: The purpose of this research was to explore the breastfeeding experience of students on a university campus. This qualitative study used semistructured interviews. Responses were audiotaped, transcribed, and coded according to common themes using MAXQDA software. A total of eight women were interviewed for the study. All women reported "feelings of isolation" and expressed concern over "what will others think." In addition, "nowhere to breastfeed" and "challenges of pumping" emerged as common barriers to breastfeeding. Regrettably, "forced decisions" emerged as a major theme, with four out of eight women reporting having to supplement with formula because they returned to school. Student breastfeeding mothers are faced with emotional and physical challenges upon their return to school. Lack of space to breastfeed or pump as well as lack of support on campus are the main reasons that students stop breastfeeding prematurely. A day care facility on campus that accepts young infants, a Baby-Friendly space, and enhanced education are required to support student mothers in their choice to breastfeed.

Randomized controlled trial (RCT). Two university affiliated Level III neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). One hundred and seventeen sets (N = 234) of stable preterm twins (<37 weeks gestational age at birth) admitted to the NICU. Sets of twins were randomly assigned to be cared for in a single cot (cobedded) or in separate cots (standard care). State response was obtained from videotaped and physiologic data measured and recorded for three, 3-hour sessions over a one-week study period. Tapes were coded for infant state by an assessor blind to the purpose of the study. Twins who were cobedded spent more time in the same state (p < .01), less time in opposite states (p < .01), were more often in quiet sleep (p < .01) and cried less (p < .01) than twins who were cared for in separate cots. There was no difference in physiological parameters between groups (p = .85). There was no difference in...

Nursing Research invites manuscripts that report research findings that contribute to knowledge about violence, injury and human safety including methodologic concerns specific to cross cultural and international research. Advances in Nursing Science invites manuscripts that address a broad range of theoretical, methodologic, ethical and philosophic issues related to violence, injury and human safety knowledge development. The focus of each journal is not exclusive; research findings and underlying conceptual or philosophic issues can be included in manuscripts submitted for either journal. We encourage research teams to submit complimentary manuscripts to each journal simultaneously, but complimentary submissions are not required.
