Involving families in the care of Indigenous infants: A philosophical exploration of Indigenous ways of knowing to inform nursing research and practice in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The application of Indigenous philosophies in the nursing context can be used to inform the care of Indigenous infants and families in the NICU. Potential benefits include improved therapeutic relationships between nurses and Indigenous families, and increased uptake of parent-led interventions in nursing practice, which may lead to improved health outcomes for Indigenous infants in the NICU and throughout their subsequent development.
