A Multidisciplinary Standardized Patient Simulation for Using Trauma-Informed Care for Pregnant Patients.

Pregnant patients with prior traumatic experiences and their providers face challenges during prenatal care, peripartum, and postpartum. To date, no structured simulations have been published focused on improving care for patients in subsequent pregnancies. This multidisciplinary simulation included trainees and providers. Standardized patients were used. The patient was multiparous with a remote history of substance use and was initiating prenatal care late due to concerns related to the prior traumatic experience of losing custody of a newborn after a Department of Children and Family Services report had been opened in a prior pregnancy. Simulation participants completed the prenatal intake and counseling regarding this prior experience. Debriefing sessions reviewed critical actions, including collecting a history, empathizing with the patient, praising efforts to maintain pregnancy health, discussing available resources, constructing a plan for care, and utilizing motivational interviewing techniques. The simulation and debriefing sessions were allotted 30 minutes total. Pre- and postsimulation surveys evaluated for increased comfort and knowledge in caring for patients with prior traumatic experiences. Simulation participants included obstetrics and gynecology students and residents, nurses, advanced practice providers, generalist attendings, and maternal fetal medicine fellows and attendings. Sixty participants completed the presimulation survey. Twenty-seven (45%) completed the postsimulation survey. Responses were paired for analysis. Scores on knowledge assessments improved postsimulation (p = .001). Responses suggested increased comfort in discussing prior traumatic experiences (p = .13). This simulation led to improved background knowledge and comfort regarding providing trauma-informed care during pregnancies impacted by a prior traumatic event.

Opportunities, Obstacles, and Solutions for Kolosua Craftswomen’s Weaving Skills in Morobea Village, Konawe Kepulauan Regency

As one of villages in Konawe Kepulauan Regency, Morobea Village becomes a land where kolosua grass grows which is usually woven into mats by local community. Observations in 2010 found a female kolosua weaving craftswoman living in Tekonea Village; she had high skills at weaving various forms of craft objects. However, in 2023, she died and brought her skills with her with no craftswomen having similar level of skill. The study aimed to uncover and analyze female craftswomen who used kolosua as their raw weaving materials. The research method used ethnographical inquiry involving five ordinary informants and one key informant who were selected purposively. Data was collected by in-depth interview techniques, participant observation, and documentation and to check the validity of the information, triangulation techniques were employed; analysis was done by qualitative description. The results show that, in case of opportunities, the location where the kolosua grows is quite strategic and representative because the climate is not so dry and not so wet that the kolosua can grow well. In case of obstacles the community, especially the younger generation, are not interested and do not know the benefits of the kolosua clump. The solution is that there needs to be a policy created by village government to determine a location for planting kolosua, providing counseling, training, and ongoing assistance so that the community, especially young women, are interested and willing to develop kolosua weaving skills into products that are economically valuable in national and global markets. Keywords: women's skills, marketing of kolosua weaving, kolosua weavers
