DescriptionProject Purpose
This project aimed to develop and implement newborn screening (NBS) education for expectant parents/caregivers and evaluate the workflow and outcomes of the education provided during prenatal visits at a large obstetrical/gynecological practice in New Jersey.
Methodology
Purposive sampling was used to recruit expectant patients/parents at 31-33 and 35-37 weeks of pregnancy for this quality improvement project. More specifically, a NBS educational video was administered to patients between 31-33 weeks of pregnancy, and an educational assessment during a 35-37-week prenatal care visit was administered to evaluate NBS education knowledge gained and retained after viewing the video. A comparison group included completion of the same post-educational questionnaire provided to patients during their 35-37-week visit who had not viewed the video.
Results
A total of nine participants completed the assessment questionnaire. One participant received education and subsequently completed the questionnaire, and all answers were correct. This participant and one other who did not receive education were the only individuals who answered all items correctly. Twelve participants watched the educational video but were not assessed later for knowledge retention.
Implications for Practice
The addition of a mandatory NBS education prompt in the electronic medical record, required continuing education for obstetrical providers during license renewal, and providing more specific guidelines from professional organizations may close educational gaps. To improve project site sustainability, NBS education should be provided by distributing a pamphlet and video QR code during the diabetes screen visit.
