The timing of booster sessions may not improve resuscitation skill retention among healthcare providers: a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Booster sessions can improve cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skill retention among healthcare providers; however, the optimal timing of these sessions is unknown. This study aimed to explore differences in skill retention based on booster session timing.

Methods: After ethics approval, healthcare providers who completed an initial CPR training course were randomly assigned to either an early booster, late booster, or no booster group.

Impact of Unexpected Death in a Simulation Scenario on Skill Retention, Stress, and Emotions: A Simulation-Based Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction The simulation of patient death remains controversial in simulation-based education. We investigated the effect of simulated patient death on learners' skill retention, stress levels, and emotions. Methods After ethics approval, we recruited residents at two Canadian universities.

Early or late booster for basic life support skill for laypeople: a simulation-based randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Retention of skills and knowledge has been shown to be poor after resuscitation training. The effect of a "booster" is controversial and may depend on its timing. We compared the effectiveness of an early versus late booster session after Basic Life Support (BLS) training for skill retention at 4 months.

The essential role of nurses in supporting physical examination in telemedicine: Insights from an interaction analysis of postsurgical consultations in orthopedics.

Telemedicine changes clinical practice and introduces new ways of distributing tasks between physicians and nurses, and particularly the delegation of sensory assessments during remote physical examinations. As nurses become more involved in patient assessment and clinical decision-making, the quality of physician-nurse collaboration has been recognized as essential to ensure quality patient care. However, few studies have examined physician-nurse interactions during teleconsultations.
