Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction: In 2018, the College of Midwives of Ontario approved a regulation granting midwives with appropriate training to incorporate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into their practice. A POCUS course for practicing midwives included online modules, a two-day workshop, and a clinical practicum. This study evaluates the curriculum in this novel course. Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study underpinned by the Kirkpatrick Framework for evaluating educational interventions. Data collection included surveys and interviews. Surveys included Likert scale questions and open-ended responses. Semi-structured interviews allowed participants to expand on their surveys. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and grounded theory analysis, respectively. Results: Course participants described that they could learn the required knowledge and demonstrate competency to perform obstetrical POCUS scans. The online modules provided the necessary didactic content and sonography clinical skills that were further developed and refined in the workshop and practicum. Due to barriers like COVID-19, many learners could not complete the clinical practicum training. Participants who did complete the practicum, post-course follow-up results indicated they have started to incorporate POCUS into their clinical practice regularly, particularly for confirmation of fetal presentation and viability of the pregnancy. Conclusion: Midwives who participated in this novel POCUS training course acquired and applied their ultrasound knowledge and skills to their clinical work and found POCUS to help inform clinical decisions. Barriers to implementing this skill in practice included difficulty arranging clinical practicums and the cost of obtaining and maintaining ultrasound equipment. RÉSUMÉIntroduction: En 2018, l’Ordre des sages-femmes de l’Ontario a approuvé un règlement permettant aux sages-femmes adéquatement formées la possibilité d’inclure dans leur pratique l’échographie au point d’intervention (EPI). Le cours d’EPI destiné aux sages-femmes en exercice comprend des modules en ligne, un atelier de deux jours et un stage clinique. La présente étude évalue le curriculum de ce cours original. Méthodes: Nous avons réalisé une étude à méthodes mixtes sous-tendue par le cadre Kirkpatrick d’évaluation des interventions pédagogiques. Des sondages et des entrevues ont servi à la collecte des données. Les sondages comportaient des questions à échelle de Likert et des questions ouvertes. Des entrevues semistructurées ont permis aux participantes d’étoffer leurs réponses aux sondages. Pour l’analyse des données, nous avons recouru à des statistiques descriptives et à une analyse de théorie ancrée. Résultats: Les participantes au cours ont indiqué qu’elles ont pu acquérir les compétences exigées et démontrer leurs compétences en échographie obstétricale au point d’intervention. Les modules en ligne ont fourni le contenu didactique et les compétences cliniques en échographie qui ont été développées davantage et peaufinées lors de l’atelier et du stage. En raison d’obstacles comme la COVID-19, de nombreuses apprenantes n’ont pu effectuer le stage clinique. Selon les résultats du suivi post-cours, les participantes qui ont accompli le stage ont commencé à intégrer régulièrement l’EPI dans leur pratique clinique, en particulier pour confirmer la présentation fœtale et la viabilité de la grossesse. Conclusion: Les sages-femmes qui ont pris part à ce cours original de formation en EPI ont appliqué les connaissances et les compétences acquises à leur travail clinique et ont trouvé l’EPI utile pour éclairer les décisions cliniques. Parmi les obstacles à la mise en pratique de cette compétence, mentionnons la difficulté d’organiser des stages cliniques et les coûts associés à l’acquisition et à l’entretien du matériel d’échographie.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
