Evaluation of the effectiveness of training by simulation and reporting in small groups on the performance of the neonatal resuscitation team

To improve the knowledge and performance of the resuscitation team, we decided to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation training in small groups on the performance of the neonatal resuscitation team at Namazi Hospital in Shiraz. In this interventional study, a single group of pre-test and post-test, 45 nursing staff and pediatric assistants were present using a simple random method. The workshop was held in three stages of training individual skills, integrated and technical, and finally by simulating the conditions of the delivery room, different scenarios were presented to all people and resuscitation operations were filmed separately. Individuals evaluated their performance based on the 2016 Neonatal Resuscitation Program checklist and were guided by a trainer. After 6 months, using a handmade checklist, the effect of training on individual skills, cognitive, technical and experience of individuals was analyzed using SPSS23 software with paired t-test. The mean scores of cognitive, behavioral, technical and experiential skills of learners after training with simulation and reporting methods in small groups increased significantly, the level of significance is respectively(P=0.03), (P=0.001), (P=0.001), (P=0.001). Holding resuscitation report sessions and group training of nurses and specialists in small groups is effective in improving the skills required by the resuscitation team, and people's experience shows that this method is also effective in improving people's self-confidence and improving their performance.
