Background of the Study
Neonatal asphyxia, a condition where newborns fail to breathe at birth, remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality worldwide. Effective newborn resuscitation can significantly reduce deaths and long-term complications associated with birth asphyxia (WHO, 2024). However, inadequate training, lack of resources, and gaps in knowledge among healthcare providers contribute to poor resuscitation outcomes, especially in low-resource settings such as Adamawa State. Newborn resuscitation requires prompt intervention, proper techniques, and continuous training to improve healthcare provider competence. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and preparedness of healthcare providers in Adamawa State regarding neonatal resuscitation.
Statement of the Problem
Despite advancements in neonatal care, preventable deaths due to birth asphyxia persist in Adamawa State. Many healthcare providers lack adequate training or experience in neonatal resuscitation, leading to poor outcomes. There is limited research assessing the knowledge levels of healthcare providers in the state, making it difficult to address the gaps in neonatal resuscitation practices. This study will evaluate their knowledge and identify training needs to enhance newborn survival rates.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the level of knowledge of newborn resuscitation among healthcare providers in Adamawa State.
2. To evaluate the availability and use of neonatal resuscitation equipment in healthcare facilities.
3. To identify barriers to effective newborn resuscitation practices among healthcare providers.
Research Questions
1. What is the level of knowledge of newborn resuscitation among healthcare providers in Adamawa State?
2. How available and accessible is neonatal resuscitation equipment in healthcare facilities?
3. What are the challenges healthcare providers face in implementing effective newborn resuscitation?
Research Hypotheses
1. Inadequate knowledge of newborn resuscitation among healthcare providers negatively affects neonatal survival.
2. The availability of resuscitation equipment influences the effectiveness of newborn resuscitation.
3. Continuous training programs improve healthcare providers' competence in neonatal resuscitation.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, and midwives, in selected hospitals and health centers in Adamawa State. Limitations may include varying levels of training among participants and reluctance to disclose gaps in knowledge.
