工作背景:新生儿复苏计划(NRP)的有效性已在发达国家进行了评估,但缺乏有关这一教学计划在发展中国家的影响的信息。我们的目的是比较喀土穆大学(苏丹)和帕多瓦大学(意大利)儿科住院医师在参加NRP课程后获得的知识。方法:在课程前后向参与者提供一份来自美国心脏协会和美国儿科学会新生儿复苏手册标准测试的80项问卷。25名苏丹和26名意大利儿科住院医师回答了课程前和课程后的问卷。苏丹(51.9 +/- 10.5% vs 84.9 +/- 5.8%; P < 0.01)和意大利(64.3 +/- 8.1% vs 94.0 +/- 3.9%; P < 0.01)儿科住院医师的正确答案百分比从课程开始前到课程结束后立即显著提高。在整个研究过程中,意大利儿科住院医师的得分高于苏丹同行(P < 0.01)。结论:参加NRP课程后,苏丹和意大利儿科住院医师的知识获得趋势相似。NRP在发展中国家的新生儿复苏教学中是有效的。
Background: The efficacy of a Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) has been previously evaluated in developed countries, but there is a lack of information regarding the impact of this teaching program in developing countries. Our aim was to compare the knowledge gained by University of Khartoum (Sudan) and University of Padova (Italy) pediatric residents following participation in the NRP course.Methods: An 80-item questionnaire derived from the standard test contained in the American Heart Association and American Academy of Pediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation Manual was given to participants before and after the course.Results: Twenty-five Sudanese and 26 Italian pediatric residents answered the pre- and postcourse questionnaire. The percentages of correct answers significantly improved from before to immediately after the course for both Sudanese (51.9 +/- 10.5% vs 84.9 +/- 5.8%; P < 0.01) and Italian (64.3 +/- 8.1% vs 94.0 +/- 3.9%; P < 0.01) pediatric residents. During the entire study, the scores obtained by Italian pediatric residents were higher than those reached by their Sudanese colleagues (P < 0.01).Conclusions: The trend of the knowledge attainment of both Sudanese and Italian pediatric residents was similar after NRP course participation. An NRP is effective in teaching neonatal resuscitation in developing countries.
