| Description |
The following Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertation examines an education program to increase nurse competency in neonatal units. |
| Abstract |
Nurses working in maternal and neonatal units must be prepared to resuscitate and stabilize newborn infants who are ill or premature. Nurses working in small community hospitals without Neonatal Intensive Care Units lacked standardized education and training for frontline nurses caring for unexpected high-risk deliveries. This project aimed to develop an educational program to increase the competence of nurses working at these facilities in caring for this patient population. Evaluation results demonstrated that the nurses found the class informational and felt it would change their practice. Continued education on the care of ill or premature infants due to this project will be further disseminated systems-wide to increase nurses' competence in caring for these patients and their families. |
