Educational Strategies for Nursing
(Neo-VPP Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Despite efforts for initial training in neonatal resuscitation, health professionals show a decline in post-training skills, requiring continuing training. This randomized controlled pilot study will compare the feasibility and preliminary effects of two educational tools in the field, namely the traditional teaching method (instructor-assisted deliberate practice) and an educational tool developed during the research project that involves repeated peer-guided practice. Both groups will perform the same educational activity using a mobile training station equipped with the equipment necessary for the PPV. Each session will be of 30 minutes and will be repeated three times over a period of three months.
