Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training on improving self-efficacy and clinical practices of midwives in providing immediate newborn care. It is a quasi-experimental study conducted among midwives working in healthcare settings to assess the impact of training on their knowledge, confidence, and practical performance in newborn care immediately after delivery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• self-efficacy of midwives in immediate newborncare

  Measured using a validated self-efficacy questionnaire to assess midwives' confidence in performing immediate newborn care procedures before and after the simulation-based training intervention

  Baseline and immediately after simulation-based training

• Midwives' self-efficacy and practice scores regarding immediate newborn care

  Assessment of midwives' self-efficacy and clinical practice regarding immediate newborn care following simulation-based training using a structured questionnaire and observational checklist. Higher scores indicate better self-efficacy and improved practice.

  Baseline and immediately after simulation-based training

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• practice in immediate newborn care

  Baseline and immediately after simulation-based training

Study Arms (2)

intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

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.

Procedure: participants receive simulation-based training on immediate newborn care. The training includes structured practical sessions using simulation scenarios designed to improve practce

control group

NO INTERVENTION

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.

Interventions

participants receive simulation-based training on immediate newborn care. The training includes structured practical sessions using simulation scenarios designed to improve practce PROCEDURE

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: NON RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Masking Details: This is an open-label study with no masking because participants receive a simulation-based training intervention that cannot be blinded.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: PhD Student, Collage of Nursing, University of Baghdad

Model Details: This is a quasi-experimental study with a parallel group design. Participants will be assigned into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will receive simulation-based training on immediate newborn care, while the control group will continue with routine practice. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in self-efficacy and clinical practice.
