Abstract

Background: Just-in-time training (JITT) is an accepted training method in healthcare education that can be used for newer concepts or for procedures that are not performed often. JITT training is focused, brief, and intended to be used in the moment to address a knowledge or skill deficit. This makes JITT videos an appropriate solution for when the student registered nurse anesthetist (SRNA) needs a timely reminder on how to set up an operating room for a unique case, such as a pediatric case or a neonatal micrognathia case.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of JITT videos on specialized operating room setups on the knowledge and confidence of SRNAs.

Method: Current SRNAs received a pretest, watched a JITT video on a pediatric and neonatal micrognathia room setups, and took a posttest to evaluate their knowledge and confidence on these room setups pre- and post-intervention. The pretest and posttest included multiple choice questions derived from literature and intended to evaluate the participants’ knowledge as well as a five- point Likert scale intended to evaluate the participants’ confidence.

Results: After viewing a JITT video on pediatric or neonatal micrognathia setup, the SRNAs had increased knowledge and confidence in setting up operating rooms for pediatric and neonatal micrognathia patients. This was demonstrated through the McNemar test which found a p-value of <0.00001 for all questions, showing statistical significance.

Discussion: Research has shown that JITT can be effective in many different aspects of healthcare training, and further research should be done to identify and create additional JITT for specialized anesthesia training.

Conclusion: JITT videos can be used by novice anesthesia care providers whenever they need an efficient and easily accessible way to refresh their knowledge on specialized skills or procedures.
