Summary

Pediatric residents improved developmental screening skills after training. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) was preferred, leading to its adoption in clinics.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Education
  • Developmental Screening
  • Medical Training

Background:

  • Pediatricians report low competency in developmental screening.
  • Effective training is crucial for accurate developmental assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of an educational module and one-on-one teaching on developmental screening skills for residents.
  • To evaluate resident preferences for different developmental screening tools.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-experimental design involving an educational module and direct teaching of 3 screeners: Denver II, Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), and Parents' Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS).
  • Residents applied all 3 screeners independently with their continuity patients.
  • Outcome measures included changes in knowledge, skills, and tool preferences.

Using an Automated Hirschberg Test App to Evaluate Ocular Alignment

Published on: March 24, 2020

Main Results:

  • All residents demonstrated significant improvement in screening skills across all tools.
  • Residents strongly preferred the ASQ (70%), citing its effectiveness in teaching normal and pathological development.
  • Key barriers to ASQ use included time (72.1%), scheduling (30.2%), and child cooperation (20.9%). Knowledge gains were not significant.

Conclusions:

  • In-depth training significantly enhanced residents' developmental screening skills and tool preferences.
  • The ASQ was fully adopted in resident clinics due to positive evaluations.
  • Further research is needed to determine if residency training translates to increased routine screenings in practice.
