在出生后的第一分钟，有效管理婴儿的呼吸状态至关重要。鉴于新生儿气道管理的重要性，卫生专业人员必须具备参与气道管理程序的知识和信心。因此，一直呼吁护士和助产士做好准备，以便在需要时熟练地实施新生儿复苏干预措施，特别是在低资源环境中，以帮助减少新生儿死亡。本研究的目的是评估一个导师计划的影响，其中包括出生后第一分钟的新生儿复苏教育部分。这项研究探讨了卢旺达护士和助产士对新生儿气道护理结果的知识和自我效能的变化。一个前/后测试，准实验研究设计被用来评估知识和新生儿复苏自我效能的变化。配对t检定结果显示，护理人员及助产士的知识及自我效能感皆显著增加，且知识与自我效能感呈正相关。因此，通过教育支持专业发展的导师计划似乎是一种有效的策略，以提高护士和助产士的知识和自我效能的新生儿复苏，并最终导致新生儿实践的改善。
In the first minute of life after birth, it is critical to effectively manage an infant's respiratory status. Given the critical nature of newborn airway management, it is vital that health professionals have the knowledge and confidence to engage in airway management procedures. Consequently, there has been a call for nurses and midwives to be prepared to skillfully enact neonatal resuscitation interventions when required, especially in lowresource environments, to help reduce neonatal death. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a mentorship program that involves an education component for neonatal resuscitation in the first minute after birth. The study examined changes to knowledge and self-efficacy of Rwandan nurses and midwives towards newborn airway care outcomes. A pre-/post-test, quasi-experimental study design was used to assess the changes in knowledge about and self-efficacy for neonatal resuscitation. Using a paired t-test, the results suggested that nurses' and midwives' knowledge and self-efficacy increased significantly, and participants' knowledge correlated positively to self-efficacy. Therefore, a mentorship program that supports professional development through education appears to be an effective strategy to enhance nurses' and midwives' knowledge about and self-efficacy for neonatal resuscitation and could eventually lead to neonatal practice improvements.
