Neonatal performed echocardiography course: Can we face it?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate students' qualification after a six-month basic course of Neonatal Performed Echocardiography (NPEcho), adjusted by the motivational profile.

Study design

Prospective cohort of 16 neonatologists/neonatal fellows who underwent the basic NPEcho course in 2019 (18 h face-to-face theoretical classes; 36 h hands-on training) and 12 in 2020 (18 h online theoretical classes; 36 h hands-on training). Students' qualification was defined as ≥70% in post-test, video test, and practical evaluation in neonates. Academic Motivation Scale was applied.

Results

Scores in 2019 vs. 2020 were: pre-test -32% vs. 40% (p = 0.029), final theoretical score -78% vs. 69% (p = 0.007), and practical evaluation -88% vs. 65% (p = 0.003), resulting in 68.8% in 2019 vs. 33.3% in 2020 qualified students. Students' motivational profile were similar in 2019 and 2020.

Conclusion

The NPEcho was successful in qualifying students with face-to-face theoretical classes, but the online format was inadequate to achieve the learning goals.

Project description:BackgroundTo explore the impact of the transition from a traditional face-to-face course delivering essential contents in pediatric critical care to a hybrid format consisting of an online pre-course self-directed learning, an online facilitated discussion, and a face-to-face edition.MethodsAttendees and faculty were surveyed after the face-to-face course and the hybrid version to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction of participants with the course.ResultsFifty-seven students attended multiple formats of the Pediatric Basic Course between January 2020 and October 2021 in Udine, Italy. We compared course evaluation data from the 29 attendees of the face-to-face course with the 28 of the hybrid edition. Data collected included participant demographics, participant self-assessed pre and post-course ''confidence'' with a range of pediatric intensive care-related activities, and their satisfaction with elements of the course. There were no statistical differences in participant demographics or pre and post-course confidence scores. Overall satisfaction with the face-to-face course was marginally higher, 4.59 vs. 4.25/5, but did not reach significance. Pre-recorded lectures which could be viewed several times, were highlighted as a positive for the hybrid course. Residents found no significant differences comparing the two courses in rating the lectures and the technical skills stations. Hybrid course facilities (online platform and uploaded material) were reported to be clear, accessible, and valuable by 87% of attendees. After six months, they still find the course relevant to their clinical practice (75%). Candidates considered the respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation modules the most relevant modules.ConclusionsThe Pediatric Basic Course helps residents strengthen their learning and identify areas to improve their knowledge. Both face-to-face and hybrid model versions of the course improved attendees' knowledge and perceived confidence in managing the critically ill child.
