Integrating family values into antenatal consultations: An observational study on structured communication training curriculum for neonatal care providers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite growing recognition of the importance of structured communication training, no formal curricula existed to equip neonatal-care providers with the skills needed to elicit and incorporate family values into antenatal consultations. A local review found that 80% of consult notes for anticipated extreme preterm births lacked documentation of family context, beliefs and values, with the absence of dedicated training identified as a key barrier.
aimTo develop, implement and evaluate a structured, evidence-informed training curriculum in family values elicitation and integration during antenatal neonatal consults.
methodsNeonatal fellows took part in this prospective, single-center observational study (June to December 2024), which was part of a larger quality improvement initiative. The curriculum incorporated established communication strategies, including structured conversation aids, decision-making frameworks and simulative role-play reflecting both decision-making and non-decision-making scenarios. The team delivered a two-hour workshop, with participants completing pre- and post-workshop surveys assessing experience and perceived confidence in communication competencies.
resultsOf the thirteen eligible fellows, eleven and one neonatologist took part; twelve completed the pre-workshop survey; ten completed the post-workshop survey. Over 90% agreed or strongly agreed that the workshop materials were user-friendly, relevant, and reflective of real-world scenarios. Participants reported significant improvements in perceived confidence across five targeted communication domains: Eliciting family values, leading shared decision-making conversations, addressing parental concerns, documentation practices, and integrating values into actionable care plans (
conclusionA contextually relevant training curriculum successfully enhanced neonatal trainees' self-reported confidence in performing communication tasks in family values elicitation and integration during antenatal neonatal consults.
