Building community and resilience in Massachusetts nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Researchers discuss the partnership of the Massachusetts Senior Care Association and Hebrew SeniorLife with AHRQ ECHO National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network (the Network). This educational program provided 16 weeks of free weekly virtual sessions to 295 eligible nursing homes. The Network weekly meetings were a source of connection, emotional support, and validation and may be a valuable mechanism to support resilience and wellbeing for nursing home staff.

Effects of a retention interval and refresher session on intracorporeal suturing and knot tying skill and mental workload.
The effects of refraining from practice for different intervals on laparoscopic suturing and mental workload were assessed with a secondary task developed by the authors. When participants who reached proficiency in suturing and knot tying were reassessed after either 1 or 5 months without practice, their performance times increased by 35 percent and secondary task scores decreased by 30 percent. These deficits, however, were nearly reversed after a single refresher session.
