From the Guidelines
Several high-impact journals, including JAMA Pediatrics 1, publish material related to neonatology and paediatric topics relevant to New Zealand healthcare practitioners. These journals are essential resources for healthcare professionals in New Zealand, providing research that considers the unique healthcare system, population demographics, and indigenous health considerations relevant to Māori and Pacific populations. Some key journals that publish relevant content include:
- The New Zealand Medical Journal
- Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, the official journal of the Paediatric Society of Australia and New Zealand
- Archives of Disease in Childhood
- Journal of Perinatology
- Pediatrics, which has published guidelines on levels of neonatal care 2
- Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine
- The New Zealand College of Midwives Journal, which occasionally publishes neonatal care topics relevant to the early postnatal period. These journals address New Zealand's specific challenges in neonatal and paediatric care, including rural healthcare delivery and culturally appropriate practices, and are valuable for informing evidence-based practice in the field.
