A midwife program of newborn resuscitation

Midwifery students receiving the newborn at birth: A pilot study of the impact of structured training in neonatal resuscitation

“…These results concur with the literature that structured training increases individuals' confidence to provide routine care for the newborn and instigate resuscitation when required (Graham et al, 2006;Jukkala and Henly, 2007;Singh et al, 2006;Van Schaik et al, 2008).…”

“…The results show that the students' knowledge increased regarding the responsibilities inherent in receiving the newborn and what to do to instigate resuscitation after attending the structured neonatal resuscitation course. This finding supports the evidence that attendance at resuscitation training is beneficial (Graham et al, 2006;Jukkala and Henly, 2007;Singh et al, 2006;Van Schaik et al, 2008). …”

“…Attendance at resuscitation training has been found to improve levels of knowledge, confidence and performance in resuscitation skills (Graham et al, 2006;Jukkala and Henly, 2007;Rovamo et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2006;Van Schaik et al, 2008). Many studies have shown the benefits of training in neonatal resuscitation for improved perinatal outcomes (Draycott et al, 2006;Jukkala and Henly, 2007;Lee et al, 2011;Singh et al, 2006).…”

“…15 , 16 Studies demonstrate that midwives find it challenging to assess non-breathing newborn babies, 17 they lack skills to resuscitate newborns and adequate help is not always immediately available. 18 Understanding the role as a midwife is important to improve confidence and knowledge in newborn resuscitation 19 and studies describe that strengthening newborn resuscitation skills has resulted in improved birth outcomes. 20 To improve resuscitation skills, frequent hands-on training programs have been recommended.…”
