“…The Pacific low- and middle-income countries had taken actions to improve to improve the quality of maternal and newborn care over the past decades, including improvements of health infrastructure, considerable financial investment, and training program of healthcare workers [ 48 ]. Several island countries launched the Early Essential Newborn Care program (EENC) introduced from the WHO [ 49 ]. Meanwhile, the international medical program [ 50 ], and the reproductive health study [ 51 ] probably promoted trends of neonatal disorders declined pronouncedly in Cook Islands.…”

Background Neonatal disorders (ND) are a significant global health issue. This article aimed to track the global trends of neonatal disorders in 204 countries/territories from 1990 to 2019. Methods Data was explored from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and age-standardized rate (ASR) were calculated to quantify the trends of neonatal disorders and their specific causes, mainly included neonatal preterm birth (NPB), neonatal encephalopathy due to birth asphyxia and trauma (NE), neonatal sepsis and other neonatal infections (NS), and hemolytic disease and other neonatal jaundice (HD). Results In 2019, there were 23,532.23 × 103 incident cases of ND, and caused 1882.44 × 103 death worldwide. During 1990–2019, trends in the overall age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of ND was relatively stable, but that of age-standardized death rate (ASDR) declined (EAPC = -1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.66 to -1.36). Meanwhile, decreasing trends of ASDR were observed in most regions and countries, particularly Cook Islands and Estonia, in which the respective EAPCs were -9.04 (95%CI: -9.69 to -8.38) and -8.12 (95%CI: -8.46 to -7.77). Among the specific four causes, only the NPB showed decreasing trends in the ASIR globally (EAPC = -0.19, 95%CI: -0.26 to -0.11). Decreasing trends of ASDR caused by ND underlying specific causes were observed in most regions, particularly the HD in Armenia, with the EAPC was -13.08 (95%CI: -14.04 to -12.11). Conclusions Decreasing trends of death caused by neonatal disorders were observed worldwide from 1990 to 2019. However, the burden of neonatal disorders is still a considerable challenge, especially in low-resource settings, which need more effective health strategies.

“…After training, there was a significant increase in knowledge and skills and a final score of correct answers above 84%, as expected (and suggested) in AHA training, a world reference in CPR training. In a similar way, research has shown an increase of 20.4% to 20.9% ( 14 ) , 28% ( 11 ) , 45% ( 15 ) , in theoretical knowledge after training. Regarding skills, there was a percentage of correct answers of 81.5% ( 16 ) and up to 95% ( 15 ) immediately after the educational intervention.…”

Objective: To analyze the retention of knowledge and skills of nursing professionals following training and retraining on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Method: This is an intervention, prospective, and analytical study in which 56 nursing professionals received theoretical and practical training in in-service cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Nine months after the first training (T1), these professionals participated in a retraining (T2). They were followed up for 18 months. The linear trend of knowledge and skills in the period following training was calculated and the Wilcoxon test was applied. Results: Interventions increased the knowledge and skills of professionals significantly; however, in the subsequent period, skills decreased. Despite this, after a period of nine months, they were still higher than those identified before the study. There was a reduction of 18.2% in knowledge in the theoretical test after T1 vs 13.0% after T2 (p < 0.01) and a reduction of 7.6% in skills on the practical test after T1 vs 5.3% after T2 (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Nurses were able to retain more knowledge and skills on cardiopulmonary resuscitation after retraining, which stresses the importance of regular training and continuing education in health.

“…The improvement of the results after T1 in both groups con rms the literature data that demonstrate the importance of training to improve CPR skills. This improvement happens due to intervention and is independent of the group being trained, because studies involving laypeople [19], students [20] and health professionals [21] also observed knowledge superior to the initial one. A study with nurses showed a signi cant increase in the average level of knowledge and practice after a formal training program [22].…”

Background: Health professionals are expected to be competent in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), thus requiring acquisition and maintenance of knowledge and practice. If time is an important factor associated with the loss of these competencies, acting in CPR situations more frequently may contribute to greater retention. Thus, this study aimed to compare the retention of knowledge and skills in CPR among health professionals in clinical and intensive care after educational intervention. Methods: Intervention, prospective and analytical study. Nursing professionals from the clinical care unit (CCU) and intensive care unit (ICU) received a first theoretical and practical CPR training, called T1, and a retraining nine months later, called T2, being followed for a total period of 18 months. The comparison of the percentage score of knowledge and practice between the evaluations was made by the Wilcoxon test and Friedman's test, considered significant for p<0.05. Results: 56 professionals participated in all stages of the study, 34 CCU professionals and 22 ICU professionals. Soon after T1, the ICU group showed a greater ease of learning (p=0.032), which disappeared after T2, showing a leveling of the groups. Regarding skills, they also reduced with time in a similar way between groups. However, nine months after T2, even reducing practical skills, they were significantly higher in ICU professionals compared to those in the CCU (p=0.018). Knowledge retention nine months after T1 and T2 was similar between groups. However, nine months after T2 the ICU professionals were able to retain more practical skills in CPR (p=0.030). Conclusions: The retraining improved knowledge in both groups in a similar way, but the ICU group retained more practical skills, reinforcing the thesis that a higher frequency of action in CPR situations favors the retention of skills.
