Background: The use of simulation for teaching the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary for effective neonatal resuscitation has seen widespread growth and adoption across pediatric institutions. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of simulation training on nurses and intern nursing students’ skill, confident and satisfaction regarding neonatal resuscitation. Design: The study utilized a quasi-experimental research design. Sitting: The study was conducted at pediatric nursing skill laboratory at faculty of Nursing Benha University. The convenient sample were enrolled from 35 of nurses and 25 of intern nursing student worked at neonatal intensive care unit, Benha University. The tool of data collection: Tool I: A structured interviewing questionnaire consisted from two parts: Part1: Personal characteristics of the studied sample. Part two: Standardized Checklist for Neonatal Resuscitation adopted from (American Heart Association, 2015): Tool II: The Satisfaction and Confidence Learning Scale (National League for Nursing, 2012). Results: at baseline the nurses were higher in skill confident and satisfaction than intern nursing students. Meanwhile, post immediate the score improved in two groups. Thus there were correlation between confident skill and satisfaction of nurses than intern nursing students with their age. There was statistical significant difference in the nurses’ post immediately. Conclusion: simulation training increases the skill, confident and satisfaction of nurses and intern nursing student about neonatal resuscitation. Recommendation: Training program for nurses and intern nursing student who are in close contact with neonates once in every 2 months with reevaluation and feedback after each update is very important. |
