D6 - Simulation Training Improves Clinical Judgment and Management of Distress Signs during Preterm Infant Bottle-Feeding
Title: D6 - Simulation Training Improves Clinical Judgment and Management of Distress Signs during Preterm Infant Bottle-Feeding
Disciplines: Newborn Care (N), Professional Issues (PI)
Learning Objectives:
- Relate five developmental subsystems to oral feeding behaviors in preterm infants
- Develop innovative strategies to manage feeding and swallowing distress in preterm infants using the Synactive Theory of neurological development
- Recognize physiological and behavioral signs and symptoms that indicate aspiration in preterm infants
Training students to recognize clinical signs of stress using video-recorded simulation mannequins was compared with traditional training methods. Students receiving simulation-based training recognized more distress signs and demonstrated superior abilities when making clinical judgments. Study methods, results, and clinical implications are presented.
