Simulation-Based Training on Immediate Newborn Care (SBT-Newborn)
Effectiveness of Newborn Simulation-Based Training on Self Efficacy and Practices of Midwives in Immediate Newborn Care
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of simulation-based training on improving self-efficacy and clinical practices of midwives in providing immediate newborn care. Immediate newborn care is a critical component in reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality, and adequate preparation of midwives plays a key role in ensuring safe and effective care.
A quasi-experimental design will be used to conduct this study among midwives working in selected healthcare facilities in Iraq. The participants will be divided into a study group and a control group. The study group will receive structured simulation-based training sessions focused on immediate newborn care, while the control group will continue with routine practice without intervention.
Data will be collected using a validated self-efficacy questionnaire and an observational checklist to assess clinical practices before and after the intervention. Pre- and post-intervention comparisons will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program.
The expected outcome of this study is to improve midwives' self-efficacy and enhance their practical skills in immediate newborn care, ultimately contributing to better neonatal health outcomes.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: intervention group
Participants in this group will receive simulation-based training on immediate newborn care.
The training includes structured practical sessions using simulation scenarios designed to improve clinical skills, self-efficacy, and performance in newborn care immediately after delivery.
|
A structured simulation-based training designed to improve midwives' self-efficacy, and clinical practice in immediate newborn care.
|
|
No Intervention: control group
Participants in this group will continue with routine clinical practice without receiving simulation-based training during the study period.
They will not be exposed to the structured training intervention and will serve as a comparison group.
