Prescriptive care? Guidelines and protocols.

Abstract

The first of two articles on the development and implementation of guidelines and protocols describes a series of workshops on research utilisation. The authors also attempt to explain some of the confusing terminology in the area of prescriptive care. The second article, which will appear in the near future, will attempt to answer the questions arising from the workshops described here.

TAC-TIC therapy: a non-pharmacological stroking intervention for premature infants.

This paper describes a non-pharmacological stroking intervention which has been used with premature infants. This intervention is referred to as Touching and Caressing, Tender in Caring (TAC-TIC) therapy. Some of the beneficial outcomes resulting from TAC-TIC in healthy preterms are outlined, along with some of the initial findings from research using the therapy with the high-risk ventilated premature neonate. Current research has been conducted using a psychoneuroimmunological framework and preliminary findings have indicated stabilized cardiovascular responses, enhanced secretory immunity and increased frequency of occurrence of comfort behaviours as a result of TAC-TIC therapy.
