Evaluating a train-the-trainer approach for implementing obstetric life support in diverse healthcare contexts throughout Arizona: a mixed methods protocol.
The purpose of this study was to outline a protocol for evaluating a train-the-trainer approach to implementing obstetric life support (OBLS) training across Arizona healthcare settings. The mixed-methods study was conducted in partnership with the Arizona Perinatal Trust and Arizona Emergency Medical Systems. The protocol involves two consecutive implementation cycles where healthcare workers from 16 sites serving high-risk populations will become OBLS instructors, who will then train at least 160 additional healthcare workers. The evaluation will assess program reach, effectiveness in improving knowledge and clinical competencies, resource allocation, implementation fidelity, and long-term integration into practice and policy. A steering committee of local, regional, and national stakeholders will provide oversight for study activities. The researchers aim to use findings to support widespread implementation of OBLS training, ultimately enhancing maternal healthcare quality and reducing disparities in maternal outcomes.

Validation of a simulation-based resuscitation curriculum for maternal cardiac arrest.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy of health care participants completing a simulation-based blended learning training curriculum on managing maternal medical emergencies and maternal cardiac arrest. The study included a formative assessment of the Obstetric Life Support curriculum. The training consisted of self-guided pre-course work and an instructor-led simulation course using a customized low-fidelity simulator. Eighty-five participants consented to participation in the training (out of 88 invited); 77 participants completed the training over eight sessions. The study found that at baseline, less than 50% of participants were able to achieve a passing score on the cognitive assessment. After the course, mean cognitive assessment scores improved by 13 points, from 69.4% at baseline to 82.4% after the course. The researchers observed significant improvements in participant self-efficacy, and 92.6% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the course met its educational objectives.

Impact of the 大象视频's Safety Program for Perinatal Care.
The purpose of this study was to describe the Safety Program for Perinatal Care (SPPC) implementation experience and evaluate the short-term impact on labor and delivery (L&D) unit patient safety culture, processes, and adverse events. SPPC implementation by L&D units were supported sing a program toolkit, trainings, and technical assistance. Researchers then evaluated the program using a pre-post, mixed-methods design. Changes in safety and quality were measured using the Modified Adverse Outcome Index (MAOI) and other perinatal care indicators. Findings showed that SPPC had a favorable impact on unit patient safety culture and processes, but mixed short-term impact on maternal and neonatal adverse events.
