ABSTRACT
The focus of this paper is to consider whether reflexology can have an effect on homeostasis to establish and maintain lactation. This complementary therapy encompasses the theory of holism to nurture the whole body, mind and spirit (Crane 1997). Parents experience many stressful emotions when their baby is admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which in turn can affect the body, mind and spirit, often contributing to the reduction of lactation for the mother. This paper will utilize a concept analysis approach (Chinn & Jacobs 1987) to provide a focus and sense of direction to the discussion and exploration of the topic.
