Abstract

Newborn resuscitation is a technique of giving assistance to newborn to take 1st breath, at physiological adaptation period from intrauterine life to extra-uterine life when it borns newly. Nurses working in inpatient department along with especially labor room and neonatal intensive care unit should have proper knowledge regarding newborn resuscitation. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge regarding neonatal resuscitation among nurses working in inpatient department of selected wards in Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Center (GMCTHRC). Descriptive, cross sectional study design with purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data from 130 nurses. Semi structured self-administered knowledge questionnaire for knowledge was used for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that, more than half of the respondents 64.6% had inadequate knowledge. There was significant association between knowledge level and working unit (p=0.013). Most of the nurses were found to have inadequate level of knowledge. There is urgent need to focus on education to upgrading the nurses’ knowledge for improving the quality of nursing care.

护士对新生儿复苏知识的了解。

新生儿复苏是指新生儿在从宫内生命到宫外生命的生理适应期，为新生儿第一次呼吸提供帮助的一种技术。在住院部特别是产房和新生儿重症监护病房工作的护士应该有适当的新生儿复苏知识。本研究旨在了解甘达基医学院教学医院与研究中心(GMCTHRC)选定病房住院部护士对新生儿复苏知识的了解情况。采用描述性、横断面研究设计和有目的抽样技术对130名护士进行数据收集。采用半结构化的自我管理知识问卷进行数据收集。收集的数据采用描述性和推断性统计进行分析。研究显示，超过一半的受访者(64.6%)知识不足。知识水平与工作单位有显著相关(p=0.013)。大多数护士被发现知识水平不足。迫切需要重视教育，提高护士的知识水平，以提高护理质量。
