The Importance of Coaching in Clinical Knowledge Integration

Changing behavior and clinical routines is challenging in any setting—and particularly so in healthcare. While communication, education, and training behavior change often requires sustained support.

Bedside coaching is a proven strategy that strengthens knowledge integration and accelerates practice change. Research shows that while training alone results in a 22% improvement in behavior change, combining it with coaching can increase that success rate to 86%. Coaching helps ensure that theoretical learning is applied meaningfully, confidently, and consistently in real-time care.

Program Description and Objective

This advanced training is designed to support the practical application of developmental neuroprotective trauma-informed care through hands-on bedside coaching. The goal is to enhance your clinical competencies and support behavior change that improves outcomes for premature and highrisk newborns.

By translating knowledge into action, this program helps reduce toxic stress and supports each infant’s neurodevelopmental potential through individualized, developmentally sensitive care.
