Effect of in-service training courses in neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the rate of successful resuscitation in nurses working in the neonatal department: A quasi-experimental study

The present study aims to determine the effect of in-service training courses in neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the rate of successful resuscitation in nurses working in the neonatal department. This quasi-experimental study was conducted among nurses employed in the neonatal department at the Sayad Shirazi Hospital in Gorgan, Golestan province, Iran. The in-service training course for neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was conducted in two separate groups across consecutive days, following the latest Heart Association guidelines. Subsequently, an evaluation was conducted across four levels: knowledge, learning, behavior, and performance. After calculating the coefficients for each level, the resulting figures were compared with the successful rehabilitation index. A total of 30 nurses were participants in the research. In the initial level, nurses' satisfaction with the course conditions significantly increased from 56.26 to 93.76 out of 100 points post-intervention (P
