Examining workplace-based education strategies for the 21st century neonatal nurse: Literature review

Does the Implementation of Multidisciplinary Developmental Care Rounds Increase the Utilization of Developmental Caregiving Interventions in the Neonatal Unit?

“…In a recent study exploring barriers to workplace-based learning for neonatal nurses, heavy workloads, staff exhaustion, and limited available time for learning during shift times were all proposed as obstacles to wardbased learning. 37 The study found that current strategies were not meeting the education needs of the existing workforce. Subsequently, learning opportunities for theoretical knowledge attainment and skill acquisition of developmental caring may also be impacted by the current model of workplace education.…”

“…High staff turnovers, a retiring neonatal workforce, and limited education and training opportunities may all be implicated in the poor uptake of developmental care interventions despite staff being aware of the short- and long-term benefits. In a recent study exploring barriers to workplace-based learning for neonatal nurses, heavy workloads, staff exhaustion, and limited available time for learning during shift times were all proposed as obstacles to ward-based learning 37.

CRRT documentation education: Increasing compliance on a new electronic health record

“…[5][6][7] The majority of papers reviewed were either not specific to nurses or focused on the academic training rather than professional practice and development where the intervention was aimed. CRRT is a specialized treatment modality and other than basic principles it is unlikely to be covered in undergraduate nursing education, [8] making this particularly challenging for the project. Another repeated sentiment was that nurses display much reluctance to engage with documentation, particularly if they do not understand its relevance to their clinical practice.…”
