RESUMO
Game-based learning theory and Google Docs Editors suite were used to develop an online, self-directed neonatal resuscitation refresher training for registered nurses to improve their resuscitation knowledge and skills and enhance their learning motivation and engagement. Results indicated that a self-directed, online game-based refresher training was motivating, engaging, and improved nurses' resuscitation knowledge and skill performance. Nurse professional development practitioners can use similar game-based online materials to enhance learning.

The global pandemic presented an opportunity for using technology in expanded ways to meet mandated restrictions posed by the crisis. Nursing professional development practitioners redesigned onboarding structures and curriculum to accommodate the surge of new hires, taking into consideration restrictions set forth by regulatory institutions. Mobile technology and virtual learning were the platform used for this innovative approach. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3):115-117.].

PURPOSE: The purpose of this project was to assess temperature stability in newborns undergoing early intraoperative skin-to-skin contact (SSC) after elective cesarean birth. METHOD: This feasibility study examined electronic medical record data of 91 mother-baby dyads who participated in early intraoperative SSC after an elective cesarean birth. Infant axillary temperatures were obtained just before initiation and upon completion of intraoperative SSC. RESULTS: The mean age of women in this sample was 35 (SD, 4.2) years. They were an average of 39 4/7 weeks gestation, and largely Caucasian 55% (n = 50) and Asian 30 (33%). Fifty-eight percent (n = 53) of infants were male, weighing an average of 3,566 g (SD, 401.83). Nineteen (21%) of infants demonstrated no temperature change pre to post SSC, with an increase noted in 32 (35%) infants, and a decrease in 40 (44%). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Findings provide support for continued intraoperative SSC. Areas for improvement were also identified, for example, missing medical record data.
