A Needs Assessment of Labor and Delivery Nurses Performing NRP in the Delivery Room.

Introduction: Labor and delivery (L&D) nurses are often responsible for initiating the critical first steps of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). Identification of knowledge gaps and underlying reasons for NRP non-adherence is crucial for designing educational interventions.

Methods: A convenience sample of 37 L&D nurses from two delivery hospitals were enrolled.

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Virtual Reality Curriculum to Support Firearm Safety Counseling Skills Among Pediatric Residents.

Firearm-related injury is the leading cause of death among US children and adolescents. Residents across specialties report low preparedness to provide firearm safety counseling. Virtual reality (VR) may offer a modality to support residents' skills through deliberate practice in a simulated setting.

A Randomized Trial of Virtual Reality Training to Improve Firearm Safety Counseling Skills.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Resident Education And Counseling on Household (REACH) Firearm Safety, a novel virtual reality (VR) intervention.

Methods: We conducted a single-center, randomized controlled trial among pediatric residents in a Midwestern academic primary care center comparing REACH Firearm Safety with didactic training (intervention) to didactic training alone (control). In the intervention arm, participants practiced firearm safety counseling with virtual characters and received immediate feedback.

Paediatric resident identification of cardiac emergencies.

Objectives: Critical CHD is associated with morbidity and mortality, worsened by delayed diagnosis. Paediatric residents are front-line clinicians, yet identification of congenital CHD remains challenging. Current exposure to cardiology is limited in paediatric resident education.
