“…Interestingly, according to the findings of the study by Enweronu-Laryea, Adedemy, Okonkwo, Lee & Robertson, [15] hospitals that provided comprehensive obstetric and newborn care were more likely to have a paediatric team responsible for the newborn around the time of birth and management than hospitals that did not offer such care. This study's findings did not agree with those of Ezenduka, Ndie, & Oburoh, [1] who found that increasing the number of paediatric nurses involved in the management of birth asphyxia resulted in better outcomes for the babies. When it came to the category of staff, the majority of respondents (97.5 percent, or 80 people) were registered nurses/midwives, with 2.5 percent being paediatric nurses as well.…”

“…The delivery of a vigorous new-born is widely seen as a splendid manifestation of nature's inherent beauty. The birthing process, despite its relatively short duration, poses the most risk to an individual's life due to its association with the highest mortality rates compared to other stages of life [1]. Upon birth, the neonate undergoes the process of transitioning from intrauterine existence to extra uterine existence.…”

“…Birth asphyxia, also known as perinatal asphyxia, is a medical disorder characterized by reduced oxygen saturation (hypoxia) and elevated blood acidity (acidaemia) in new-borns. These physiological changes occur due to the retention of carbon dioxide and the formation of lactic acid during the process of childbirth [1,4]. The therapy of infants affected by birth asphyxia requires a careful approach due to the significant physiological changes that occur during the transition period [5,6].…”

“…Complications during childbirth may arise due to several circumstances, such as prolonged labour, atypical presentations including breech position, precipitous labour, and cord prolapse. The occurrence of asphyxia in neonates can arise from various factors, including but not limited to severe cardiopulmonary abnormalities and prematurity [1,7].…”

Background: A newborn’s inability to initiate and maintain breathing immediately after birth is referred to as birth asphyxia. In developed countries, the incidence of Birth Asphyxia is 2 per 1000 births, but in developing countries, the rate can be up to 10 times higher than that figure. Globally, 130 million babies are born each year, with Birth Asphyxia accounting for 20.9 percent of all neonatal deaths occurring within the first four weeks of life during this period. Approximately 10% of these babies require some form of assistance to breathe when they are born. Nurses and midwives must have a high level of expertise in the management of birth asphyxia in order to avoid further complications. Methods: A quantitative descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used to assess the management of Birth Asphyxia among Nurses and Midwives at the maternity department of War Memorial Hospital. Convenient sampling technique was used to select study subjects and the sample size was determined using sample size determination table. Results: Of the total 80, 79 (98.8%) of the respondents had knowledge on the standard guidelines and protocols for the management of Birth Asphyxia. Nurses and midwives who were trained, thus 60 out of the total 80 respondents (75%), were more likely to have knowledge of Birth Asphyxia management as compared to those who didn’t get training. The study revealed that 98.8% of nurses and midwives had knowledge of birth asphyxia management. Conclusions: More than half of these health professionals had training on the management of Birth Asphyxia. Frequent trainings were recommended to improve knowledge of nurses and midwives on Birth Asphyxia management.

“…A majority of 17 (34%) are between the ages of 6 and 10. Additionally, 21 (42%) of the sample had no training, whereas 19 (38%) received training[4].The statistical knowledge results result for pediatric nurses' knowledge on Pretest with Posttest regarding neonatal birth asphyxia, that knowledge of nurses concerning neonatal birth asphyxia in general Pretest 50.0% (16) of them at a failure level, Posttest 56.3% (18) of the sample at an excellent level. Knowledge of nurses concerning signs and symptoms of birth asphyxia in the Pretest is 46.9% (15) at the failure level of them; Posttest is 65.6% (21) at an excellent level of them.…”

Background: Birth asphyxia, which is defined as the failure to establish breathing following delivery and causes an estimated 900,000 deaths each year. This investigation tries to measure the efficiency of an instructional program on the knowledge of pediatric nurses concerning neonatal birth asphyxia management in Mosul Hospitals.The Methodology: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest and posttest study design was used at Mosul hospitals' pediatric units from 3rd October/2021 to 1st March/2022. A not-randomly purposive sample was used, the whole number of sample (32) nurses, drawn from five Mosul City hospitals. Nurses were given access to the program lectures and the questionnaire. Five lectures made up the program's five lectures, and then questionnaire remained divided into two parts. The initial part of the questionnaire asked about socio-demographic data, while the part second asked about the knowledge of nurses on the management of newborn birth asphyxia and included five components. The validity was examined by thirteen expert committees. The pilot study's dependability was used from 16-17/November/2021 by use of Cronbach's Alpha (0. 831) using SPSS version 26.The Result: Most of the sample was females at age (20-29) years-old, who graduated from the institute stage had less than five years of service, and not had training courses, and also reading resources related to neonatal birth asphyxia. There was the extremely substantial correlation between the pediatric nurse's knowledge of newborn birth asphyxia between the Pretest with Posttest results demonstrates the educational program's success at P. value ≤ 0.05.The Recommendations: Widespread training courses, also special programs, and necessity be designed and implemented in other Nineveh hospitals.
