Doing an interview with an OB nurse

Hello, I've posted this in the OBGYN section and I'm not getting much response there so I'm thinking I'll try here... Maybe people are more willing to help here.

Anyways, I'm a nursing student in my second year. I'm writing a paper and for this paper I have to interview an OB nurse about her experience with prenatal substance abusers and their families (I'm just focusing on the mothers and their families in this paper- not the babies). I was hoping someone (or several someones Copy%20of%20wink.gif) on here could answer a few questions for me in some detail. Thank you in advance, your help is EXTREMELY appraciated.

Interview Questions:

  • Please tell me about how many years experience you have in OB.

  • How often do you deal with prenatal substance abusers in your practice?

  • When pregnant drug users come to your ward, is it common for them to have family members with them?

  • Does your hospital have pre-set procedures for nurses handling prenatal substance abusers? If yes, what are they and do you find these policies useful in your practice?

  • Please tell me about concerns that women who use drugs during pregnancy voice while on your unit.

  • Please tell me about communication strategies you use when talking to such patients and their families when they are present.

  • Please tell me about the nursing interventions (not so much physiological, more psychosocial) that you implement to help substance abusers prenatally.

  • What are nursing interventions that you implement to help the substance abuser's family?

  • Which approach to treatment do you think is more practical; a woman-centered approach where the substance abuser makes all decision (this allows empowerment of the woman), or a family-centered approach where the substance abuser's family participates in education and prenatal care?
  • Is there anything else you wish to add on the topic of prenatal substance abuse?
