RETAIN: A Board Game That Improves Neonatal Resuscitation Knowledge Retention.

ABSTRACT: Background: The current resuscitation guidelines recommend frequent simulation based medical education (SBME). However, the current SBME approach is expensive, time-intensive, and requires a specialized lab and trained instructors. Hence, it is not offered routinely at all hospitals. We designed the board game "RETAIN" to train healthcare providers (HCPs) in neonatal resuscitation in a cost-friendly and accessible way. Objectives: To examine if a board game-based training simulator improves knowledge retention in HCPs. Methods: "RETAIN" consists of a board using an image of a baby, visual objects, adjustable timer, monitors, and action cards. Neonatal HCPs at the Royal Alexandra Hospital were invited to participate. Participants completed a written pre-test (resuscitat
