“…Our study revealed that health workers trained in NRP courses increased their knowledge and skills, and our results were in accordance with other studies in the same field (13)(14)(15) . But we could not find any study evaluating pre-test, and post-test results based on the participant's occupations.…”

Objective: We aimed to reveal the factors effecting the success rates of participants and change in their levels of knowledge following Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) courses in our country. Methods: Type of our study is descriptive. Electronic and printed course report files were used for data collection. From course reports data about participants including their occupation, specialty, working place, gender, results of pre-test, post-test, final and practice exams were obtained. Results: In the second half of 2007, 1411 health workers attended NRP provider courses. Difference between pre and post-test results was significant. A final exam was given to the participants at the end of the provider course which aimed to evaluate the course and participants and also as a legislative necessity for certification. Mean score of the participants was 94.8±4.7 for written test and 95.5±4.5 for practice exam. Also differences were found in the results of pre-test, post-test, written and practice exams with respect to occupation, working place and gender of the patients Conclusion: NRP training achieved a significant increase in knowledge and skill levels of the health workers in our study group. In order to assess impact of NRP on levels of practice, knowledge and skills, the participants should be evaluated during a follow-up period after training.

“…Telemedicine-supported education can be used to complete standard Neonatal Resuscitation Program training and has been reported to produce comparable gains in knowledge and skills relative to in-person training (99). While Neonatal Resuscitation Program is a highly reliable method to gain initial competency in delivery room resuscitation, knowledge and technical competency rates decline within 6 mo if the skills are not used (100). Furthermore, delivery volumes are low in small hospitals, and the need for advanced neonatal resuscitation is a rare event, occurring in less than 1% of all births.…”

Addressing health disparities in rural communities using telehealth

The regionalization of pediatric services has resulted in differential access to care, sometimes creating barriers to those living in underserved, rural communities. These disparities in access contribute to inferior healthcare outcomes among infants and children. We review the medical literature on telemedicine and its use to improve access and the quality of care provided to pediatric patients with otherwise limited access to pediatric subspecialty care. We review the use of telemedicine for the provision of pediatric subspecialty consultations in the settings of ambulatory care, acute and inpatient care, and perinatal and newborn care. Studies demonstrate the feasibility and efficiencies gained with models of care that use telemedicine. By providing pediatric subspecialty care in more convenient settings such as local primary care offices and community hospitals, pediatric patients are more likely to receive care that adheres to evidence-based guidelines. In many cases, telemedicine can significantly improve provider, patient, and family satisfaction, increase measures of quality of care and patient safety, and reduce overall costs of care. Models of care that use telemedicine have the potential to address pediatric specialists' geographic misdistribution and address disparities in the quality of care delivered to children in underserved communities.

“…Several studies have been devoted to the retention of skills in areas, such as anesthesia, neonatology and obstetrics. [16][17][18][19] In laparoscopic surgery, a previous study using virtual-reality simulation demonstrated that although trainees retained their acquired skills for 6 to 7 months, after an additional 12 months with no training, their skills had reverted to the pre-training level. [20][21][22] Until now, the retention of robot-assisted surgical skills has not been reported.…”

Abstract Introduction:We assess the retention of robot-assisted surgical skills among urologic surgeons. Methods: The robot-assisted surgery skills of 20 urologic surgeons were assessed using a Mimic dV-Trainer program (Mimic Technologies, Inc., Seattle, WA) consisting of 6 tasks. These 20 surgeons had no previous experience either using the Mimic dVTrainer or acting as the main surgeon in robot-assisted surgery. The surgeons completed the program 4 times in a row; after 1 year, they completed it again for a fifth time. Performance scores were recorded using the Mimic dV-Trainer's built-in algorithm. Results: For all 6 tasks, there were significant improvements to the scores in the fourth trials compared with those in the first trials. The scores in the fifth trials did not significantly decline compared with those in the fourth trials. There was no significant difference between the fifth trial scores of surgeons with laparoscopic surgery skills/experience and those without. Conclusion: Our results indicate that fundamental robot-assisted surgical skills can be retained in the long-term after they are acquired.

Knowledge gained by pediatric residents after neonatal resuscitation program courses

Abstract: The knowledge gained by pediatric residents participating in the NRP course was very high, but was only partially retained over time. In particular, it was different among the four steps of neonatal resuscitation suggesting further studies on teaching resuscitation.
