| Methods | This pilot randomized controlled trial will involve 40 NRP-trained NICU nurses with >1-year experience. Participants will be randomly assigned to PL or DP groups, completing three booster sessions over three months. Both interventions use low-dose/high-frequency sessions. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will use the Neonatal Mask Ventilation Competency Assessment Tool (NMVCAT). Feasibility, satisfaction, confidence, and intention to modify behaviors will be evaluated using custom and validated questionnaires. Data will be analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests for between-group comparisons and paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests for within-group performance improvements. |
| Results | The study will compare median responses for feasibility, satisfaction, and confidence between groups. Performance improvements and changes in resuscitation behaviors will be analyzed within and between groups. |
| Discussion | Demonstrating the feasibility and the preliminary efficacy of the repeated guided experiential PL approach would identify a resource-limited educational intervention for booster training in neonatal resuscitation. This pilot study will inform future larger studies and hopefully the implementation of this approach as part of continuing education. The overarching goal is to provide healthcare professionals with competency in PPV as to ensure safe neonatal care to babies in North America. |
