Development and Implementation of a Game-Based Neonatal Resuscitation Refresher Training: Effect on Registered Nurse Knowledge, Skills, Motivation, Engagement.

Game-based learning theory and Google Docs Editors suite were used to develop an online, self-directed neonatal resuscitation refresher training for registered nurses to improve their resuscitation knowledge and skills and enhance their learning motivation and engagement. Results indicated that a self-directed, online game-based refresher training was motivating, engaging, and improved nurses' resuscitation knowledge and skill performance. Nurse professional development practitioners can use similar game-based online materials to enhance learning.

The Show Must Go On: Using Technology for Rapid Onboarding and Orientation During COVID-19 and Beyond.

The global pandemic presented an opportunity for using technology in expanded ways to meet mandated restrictions posed by the crisis. Nursing professional development practitioners redesigned onboarding structures and curriculum to accommodate the surge of new hires, taking into consideration restrictions set forth by regulatory institutions. Mobile technology and virtual learning were the platform used for this innovative approach.

Skin to Skin Contact: Newborn Temperature Stability in the Operating Room.

Purpose: The purpose of this project was to assess temperature stability in newborns undergoing early intraoperative skin-to-skin contact (SSC) after elective cesarean birth.

Method: This feasibility study examined electronic medical record data of 91 mother-baby dyads who participated in early intraoperative SSC after an elective cesarean birth. Infant axillary temperatures were obtained just before initiation and upon completion of intraoperative SSC.
