Background:
Neonatal resuscitation is critically important in reducing neonatal mortality and morbidity. Nurses interact with infants and their families more frequently than other healthcare team members and play a frontline role in resuscitation. Therefore, significant strategies can be developed based on nurses' experiences with neonatal resuscitation.
Purpose:
To explore nurses' experiences during and after neonatal resuscitation and provide evidence to improve their resuscitation success.
Methods:
This qualitative study adopted a phenomenological approach. A semi-structured interview guide was used for data collection, and in-depth individual interviews were conducted with 17 nurses. Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the data.
Results:
The findings indicated that knowledge, experience, planned task distribution, and team collaboration positively influenced nurses' resuscitation experiences, while an insufficient number of healthcare professionals, heavy workload, and communication issues had negative effects.
Implications For Practices And Research:
Providing and improving the necessary resources for effective neonatal resuscitation and organizing regular training programs may help further enhance nurses' resuscitation practices.
