AimTo investigate the impact of ongoing workshop training of the "Helping Babies Breathe" program on the durability of midwives' knowledge and skills. BackgroundImplementing the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) program is crucial as a simple protocol for neonatal resuscitation in low-resource healthcare settings to decrease the rate of asphyxia and perinatal mortality by the initial healthcare providers. In addition to training in this program, it is also essential to guarantee the retention of the acquired knowledge and skills. DesignA quasi-experimental clinical trial study with a single-group, pre-test-and-post-test design. MethodsThis study was conducted throughout the year 2022, with a sample size of 61 midwives selected through a census sampling from those working in the delivery and operating rooms of X Hospital in x City. The midwives participated in 3-hour workshops. This study was performed in two stages: intervention and follow-up. The evaluation Instruments included the HBB educational package, which consisted of a questionnaire and 3 Objective Structured Clinical Exams. During the intervention phase, the HBB program training was conducted through a series of workshops held at four different time points over a span of six months. In the follow-up stage, the learners were not provided with any further training. The evaluation was done immediately after the initial training workshop of the HBB program, at the end of the final workshop in the sixth month and at the end of the follow-up period. ResultsThe mean knowledge score of the baseline, at six months and at twelve months after the initial workshop were documented as (17 SD1.2), (17.79 SD 0.4) and (17.73 SD 0.5), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean knowledge scores between the baseline and the six and twelve months (P<0.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed between six and twelve months (P>0.05).The mean skill scores showed a significant improvement and were maintained after six months compared with the initial assessment (P<0.05); however, there was a significant decrease in skill score twelve months later, in comparison to both the initial assessment and the first six months (P<0.05). ConclusionsHealthcare workers can maintain their knowledge and skills by participating in ongoing training workshops. However, without continuous training, their skills may diminish. Therefore, it is essential to implement training programs that emphasize regular practice and repetition to ensure knowledge and skills retention. Registration numberThe present research was a part of the research work with the ethics ID IR.IRSHUMS.REC.1400.019.

Association between health literacy and Framingham risk score

High health literacy (HL) plays a critical role in preventing or delaying the onset of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and can improve disease management and control. The present study aims to determine the association between HL and non-laboratory-based (office-based) Framingham 10-year risk score of CVD. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 648 people aged 30–65 in the health centers of Jahrom. The Health Literacy Instrument for Adults (HELIA) was used to assess HL. The non-laboratory-based Framingham risk score (FRS) was utilized to determine the 10-year risk of CVDs. Risk factors such as age, gender, diabetes, current smoking status, systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension (HTN) treatment, and body mass index (BMI) were applied in the non-laboratory-based model. The average age of the subjects was 44.7 ± 10.5 years, among which 49.2% were males. The prevalence of diabetes, HTN, and smoking equaled 8.5%, 15.7%, and 10%, respectively. In addition, the average BMI was 26.1 ± 3.6 kg/m2. Based on the non-laboratory-based Framingham 10-year risk score of CVD, 72.5%, 13.9%, and 13.6% of the subjects were in the low, moderate, and high risk groups, respectively. Based on the HL grouping, the levels of insufficient, borderline, sufficient, and excellent HL were 19.3%, 26.4%, 34.6%, and 19.7%, respectively. A significant association was observed between 10-year CVD risk and HL grouping. In addition, a negative correlation was reported at the individual level between HL and non-laboratory-based FRS among the whole population (r = − 0.39, p < 0.001), men (r = − 0.32, p < 0.001), and women (r = − 0.42, p < 0.001). A higher HL score is associated with a lower risk of CVD. In addition, the adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that there was a strong association between elevated CVD risk (≥ 10%) and HL (OR 6.1, 95% CI 2.9–12.6) among inadequate HL participants compared with excellent HL individuals. Thus, designing and implementing training programs to increase HL, especially among those who are at risk of CVDs, should be regarded as an important issue for the prevention of such diseases.

Non-technical skills training for Nigerian interprofessional surgical teams: a cross-sectional survey

IntroductionNon-technical skills (NTS) including communication, teamwork, leadership, situational awareness, and decision making, are essential for enhancing surgical safety. Often perceived as tangential soft skills, NTS are many times not included in formal medical education curricula or continuing medical professional development. We aimed to explore exposure of interprofessional teams in North-Central Nigeria to NTS and ascertain perceived facilitators and barriers to interprofessional training in these skills to enhance surgical safety and inform design of a relevant contextualized curriculum.MethodsSix health facilities characterised by high surgical volumes in Nigeria’s North-Central geopolitical zone were purposively identified. Federal, state, and private university teaching hospitals, non-teaching public and private hospitals, and a not-for-profit health facility were included. A nineteen-item, web-based, cross-sectional survey was distributed to 71 surgical providers, operating room nurses, and anaesthesia providers by snowball sampling through interprofessional surgical team leads from August to November 2021. Data were analysed using Fisher’s exact test, proportions, and constant comparative methods for free text responses.ResultsRespondents included 17 anaesthesia providers, 21 perioperative nurses, and 29 surgeons and surgical trainees, with a 95.7% survey completion rate. Over 96% had never heard of any NTS for surgery framework useful for variable resource contexts and only 8% had ever received any form of NTS training. Interprofessional teams identified communication and teamwork as the most deficient personal skills (38, 57%), and as the most needed for surgical team improvement (45, 67%). There was a very high demand for NTS training by all surgical team members (64, 96%). The main motivations for training were expectations of resultant improved patient safety and improved interprofessional team dynamics. Week-long, hybrid training courses (with combined in-person and online components) were the preferred format for delivery of NTS education. Factors that would facilitate attendance included a desire for patient safety and self-improvement, while barriers to attendance were conflicts of time, and training costs.ConclusionsInterprofessional surgical teams in the Nigerian context have a high degree of interest in NTS training, and believe it can improve team dynamics, personal performance, and ultimately patient safety. Implementation of NTS training programs should emphasize interprofessional communication and teamworking.
