Opinions and approaches of pediatric surgery specialists and residents about neonatal resuscitation program-nrp: survey study
Abstract
Aims: The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is a course for healthcare professionals who can be called "those who touch the baby at the time of birth". The knowledge and skills obtained through this training program can be used in infant resuscitation at the time of birth and neonatal period resuscitation, which includes the first 30 days of life. It is aimed to evaluate the approaches of pediatric surgeons and research assistants in terms of their opinions and practices regarding NRP, as there are publications in the literature about the NRP experiences of other healthcare professionals.
Methods: After receiving the approval of the Ethics Committee,the survey was published as a descriptive and cross-sectional study via the Google Docs system, and the participation of pediatric surgeons and research assistants was requested. Our research was conducted between October 2023 and March 2024 by asking the participants survey form questions via communication tools such as e-mail, telephone, social media, Internet. Data were sent to participants in the form of electronically prepared survey forms via e-mail addresses and social media platforms. It was collected electronically within the date ranges determined for the research.
Results: Thirty-seven participants were male, and 40 participants were female. The average age of 77 pediatric surgeons who participated in the survey was determined to be 43.8 years old. Seventeen of the participants are research assistants; 24 of them are specialist physicians; 10 of them are Dr. Lecturers; 12 of them are associate professors; 14 of them were professors. It was determined that 48 of 77 physicians took the NRP course. It has been determined that those who took the NRP course can contribute more to resuscitation practices.
Conclusion: It has been stated that pediatric surgeons are familiar with NRP applications and that as clinical experience increases, even among those who have not taken the course, interventions by NRP can be performed. It is seen that pediatric surgeons can effectively participate in NRP courses.
