Background & Objective: Nursing staff can prevent asphyxia and neonatal mortality by learning the correct resuscitation principles Therefore this study was performed with the aim to determine the effectiveness of teaching through simulation and filming of the performance of nurses in neonatal resuscitation Methods: In this experimental study 40 nursing staff were divided into teams of 2 nurses through simple randomization The level of knowledge before and after the intervention was evaluated using a written exam To assess performance before and after the intervention simulated environment and scenario building were used All stages of resuscitation of the teams were filmed Before training the experimental group participants viewed their videos and were trained through error analysis practicing on manikin and viewing educational videos of resuscitation (2011) The videos were evaluated and scored by two instructors through doubleblind techniques and using a standard checklist Data were analyzed in SPSS software using independent sample ttest paired ttest repeated measurement and Pearson correlation coefficient Results: The level of knowledge in the control and experimental groups increased by 9 and 10 scores respectively This difference was not statistically significant (P = 0830) Before the training no statistically significant difference was observed in terms of performance (P = 0109) However one month after training a significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of performance (P < 0001) This reflects the effect of training on performance of the experimental group Conclusion: The results showed that the simultaneous use of simulation and filming for training will be more effective in the learning process Thus it is better that both techniques be used for training to be more effective

Background & Objective : Many cases of neonatal deaths which are caused by asphyxia could be prevented by appropriate resuscitation Successful resuscitation depends on several factors including the skill of nurses and midwives involved in taking care of sick neonates Methods : In this study 88 nurses and midwives in Kerman Province Hospitals participated and all completed an 11hour neonatal resuscitation course Among the participants 25 were selected for the based line survey After five months all of them sat for a theoretical and practical test including nine stations Results : Five months after the workshop the mean theoretical and practical scores of the participants in different hospitals showed a significant difference (P=00001) Scores of the practical test varied in different stations The highest score belonged to “neonates tactile stimulation” while the lowest was given to “resuscitating a non vigorous meconium stained neonate” There was a weak inverse yet significant relationship between age and the time past from graduation with the practical score (P=0035 r=023 and P=0017 and r=025 respectively) Practicing on mannequin and studying the provided notes on resuscitation led to getting a significantly higher score (P=00001 and P=0046 respectively) Conclusion : This study shows that teaching resuscitation alone may not guarantee skill in people Maintaining resuscitation skill is influenced by factors such as age job status practicing on mannequin and participation in neonatal resuscitation
