Researcher from University of Tokyo Discusses Findings in Nursing (Developing an Educational Program for Ultrasound Hip Screening during Newborn and Infant Home Visits: A Protocol Paper).

A researcher from the University of Tokyo has developed an educational program for ultrasound hip screening during newborn and infant home visits. The program aims to improve nurses' assessment skills in detecting developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) cases. The program includes e-learning, hands-on seminars, and clinical training. The study will evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the program in 2024. The research addresses the issue of missed and late detection of DDH cases in resource-limited communities.
