Abstract

Introduction: Neonatal Resuscitation training is one of the main trainings for people who are responsible for taking care of newborn, then how to implement and choose the right model for training is very important. Therefore, it is important to use innovative approaches in Resuscitation training that lead to improving and maintaining the knowledge and skills of learners. The present study was performed with aim to determine the effect of Educare training on the level of knowledge and performance of neonatal resuscitation in undergraduate midwifery students.
Methods: This semi-experimental study pre-and post-intervention was carried out in 2022 on 30 undergraduate midwifery students of the School of Nursing and Midwifery. The training was done by the Educare method using theory training and holding a 1-day workshop. Examining the level of knowledge and practice of students was done using a checklist and a researcher-made questionnaire after confirming the validity and reliability before/immediately/and two weeks after the practical training. Data analysis was done using STATA software (version 12) and Independent t-test and analysis of variance with repeated measures. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The neonatal resuscitation knowledge score in midwifery students immediately and two weeks after the training significantly increased compared to before the training (p=0.001). The neonatal­ resuscitation performance score immediately and two weeks after training significantly increased compared to before training. There was a significant difference between knowledge and performance scores in three stages (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The educare ­method has improved the neonatal resuscitation knowledge and performance of midwifery students, so it is recommended to design and use this method for training other clinical skills in midwifery students.
