KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM A BRIEF SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING ON BASIC NEONATAL RESUSCITATION AMONG NEWLY APPOINTED NURSES - A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 30
Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessing the need of resuscitation and ventilation with bag and mask if needed soon after birth to initiate breathing can decrease neonatal mortality and morbidity. The knowledge on basic neonatal resuscitation which deals with above is important. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational study done from January 2017 to July 2017. The training records of newly appointed nurses on basic neonatal resuscitation were analysed to know the knowledge gained and gaps in knowledge. RESULTS Total 22 newly appointed nurses underwent training. There was no statistically significant difference between mean of pre and post-test, though the post-test performance was slightly better. There was knowledge gap on how long to count the heart rate and after what time the heart rate should be assessed after starting ventilation in newborn requiring resuscitation. CONCLUSION Retraining should be done in newly appointed nurses on basic newborn resuscitation to improve and retain knowledge and skills.
