Family practice residents showed improved knowledge after the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) course. However, retention decreased over six months, indicating a need for ongoing education in neonatal resuscitation.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Neonatal Care
  • Resuscitation Science

Background:

  • Evaluating knowledge acquisition and retention in medical training.
  • Assessing the impact of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) on family practice residents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the knowledge gained and retained by family practice residents following the NRP course.
  • To analyze the long-term effectiveness of NRP training.

Main Methods:

  • Administered standard NRP written examinations (pre-, post-, and 6-month follow-up).
  • Utilized repeated measures ANOVA and Student's t tests for data analysis.
  • Included 29 residents for pre/post-tests and 10 for follow-up.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Significant knowledge improvement from pretest (60.6%) to posttest (90.7%) and follow-up (75.4%).
  • No significant difference between posttest and follow-up scores, though some scores dropped below passing.
  • Small sample size may limit definitive conclusions on knowledge decay.

Conclusions:

  • NRP course significantly enhances residents' neonatal resuscitation knowledge.
  • Knowledge retention may decline over time, suggesting potential need for refresher training.
  • Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to confirm knowledge decay patterns.
