Abstract: (2117 Views)
Background & Aims: Adherence to standards in neonatal care, especially in the operating room and immediately after cesarean section, is essential to prevent neonatal complications, reduce costs, and length of hospital stay. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the standards of care of newborn infants by operating room technologists.
Materials & Methods: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted on 212 staff members of the operating room of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2019. In this study, three steps of evaluation (preparation of standards of care, determination of existing status and comparison with standards) were considered. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts including operating room processes (before, during and after cesarean section), postpartum room processes, and maternal and neonatal room processes.
Results: The results of this study showed that the operating room nurses' compliance with care standards was 79.24% at optimum level, 87.73% at moderate level, and 8.49% at undesirable level, and zero% at low level.
Conclusion: The present study showed that surgical technologists do not apply newborn care standards completely, so training classes and tests conducted in accordance with up-to-date protocols regarding infant care standards are necessary not only for nurses and midwives but also for operating room personnel who are in direct contact with infants who were delivered via cesarean section.
