简要总结
In this baby doll comparison study, clinical lactation specialists will complete two back-to-back video-based simulations (telesimulations) focused on newborn positioning and attachment. Study participants will interact with a standardized patient educator (SP) wearing the Lactation Simulation Model and using two baby dolls in a randomized order.
详细描述
Identifying signs of effective newborn positioning and attachment is an essential skill for maternal-child care providers. No study has evaluated the effectiveness of commonly used baby dolls for teaching this skill. In this comparison study, clinical lactation specialists will be randomly assigned two baby dolls to evaluate in two back-to-back video-based simulations (telesimulations) with a standardized patient wearing the LiquidGoldConcept Lactation Simulation Model. Participants will complete a novel competency assessment using 3-second video clips to show specific components of positioning and attachment and evaluating whether any correction is needed and why or why not.

盲法说明
Participants will not be aware which baby doll they will be assessing prior to presentation within the simulation. Standardized patients (SP) will know which baby doll to present during the simulations, so they will not be masked. Following the simulation, the SP will indicate which dolls were used using a blinded numbering system that will be used for data analysis by investigators and outcomes assessors.

研究组 & 干预措施
Baby doll with remote controlled jaw
In this arm, participants will complete a simulation using the Newborn Oral Assessment and Latch Simulator (NORALSim), which is designed to look, feel, and weigh like a healthy human newborn. The NORALSim's jaw can be remotely operated by the user to demonstrate attachment at the breast.
干预措施: Positioning and Attachment video-based simulation (telesimulation) (Other)
Baby doll with hand controlled jaw
In this arm, participants will complete a simulation using a cloth baby with a puppet-style jaw which can be opened and closed by the user to demonstrate attachment at the breast.
干预措施: Positioning and Attachment video-based simulation (telesimulation) (Other)
Static baby doll
In this arm, participants will complete a simulation using a rigid, plastic baby with a static, open mouth.
