Closing out 2022

Abstract

Introduction: As we close out the final December 2022 issue of the Journal of Neonatal Nursing (JNN), we are happy to present a greater than ever volume of articles for perusing! We have been blessed with record numbers of submitted manuscripts in 2022 allowing us to publish more evidence in a timely fashion. This jam-packed issue includes 3 reviews and 10 original manuscripts. Our first review is from the University Hospital Waterford in Ireland and is presented by authors Cunningham, Patton, Moore, O’Connor, Bux, and Nugent. Kangaroo care has multiple physiological, developmental, and psychological benefits for neonates. The purpose of their Evidence Review was to review past and current kangaroo care practices and explore the literature relating to improving kangaroo care for preterm infants.
