Interventions related to parent-infant attachment.
This study of nursing interventions that promote attachment is but one of the building blocks in creating a theoretically strong foundation for nursing practice. With the cooperative and coordinated efforts of nursing theorists, researchers, academicians, and seasoned practitioners, nursing will be able more clearly to define its domain of practice by identifying nursing interventions and the critical and supportive activities that comprise these interventions. With such systematically organized and tested knowledge, nursing practice will become firmly rooted in a knowledge base that will not only lead to improved patient care but enhance professional credibility and satisfaction.
