目的：通过基础围产期教育，提高家长对新生儿疾病（如呼吸窘迫、脓毒症、早产并发症）的认识，是降低资源有限的托儿所新生儿高死亡率的可行途径。评估产前教育在资源有限的托儿所中提高母亲基本新生儿护理知识的效果，并确定产后知识是否保留。研究设计：2008年3月至4月，我们在老挝万象的一家妇幼医院为接受产前护理的妇女实施了一个10分钟的基本新生儿护理教育计划。教育干预是一个结构化的面对面互动模块，由老挝提供者使用有关温度控制、脐带护理和新生儿疾病迹象的象形文字和书面材料教授。我们在模块之前和之后使用标准化的面试工具评估知识。在可能的情况下，我们在产后重新评估知识，以确定他们在培训后是否保留了信息。结果：我们招募了101名女性（平均年龄26.3岁），其中大多数（53%）为原发女性。参加者受当地标准的良好教育；57%的女性受教育年限为8年，28%的女性受教育年限为12年。妇女对新生儿护理的了解在测试后立即增加了10% (P
Objective: Basic perinatal education to increase parental knowledge of neonatal illnesses (such as respiratory distress, sepsis, complications of prematurity) could be a feasible way to reduce high neonatal mortality rates in limited-resource nurseries. To assess the efficacy of antenatal education in increasing mothers' knowledge of basic newborn care in a limited-resource nursery, and to determine whether the knowledge is retained postpartum.Study Design: In March to April 2008, we implemented a 10-min educational program on basic neonatal care for women receiving prenatal care in a maternal child hospital in Vientiane, Laos. The educational intervention was a structured, face-to-face interactive module taught by Lao providers using pictographic and written materials about temperature control, umbilical cord care and signs of neonatal illness. We assessed knowledge before and immediately after the module using a standardized interview tool. When possible, we reassessed knowledge postpartum to determine whether they retained information after the training.Result: We recruited 101 women (average age 26.3 years), and the majority (53%) were primigravidas. Participants were well educated by local standards; 57% of women had >8 years and 28% had >12 years of education. Women's knowledge of neonatal care increased by 10% on immediate posttest (P
