A Collaborative Partnership for Improving Newborn Safety: Using Simulation for Neonatal Resuscitation Training.

Background: The latest Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines suggest the use of team-based training using simulation. Furthermore, psychometric testing of instruments appropriate to measure team performance in NRP is needed. This study evaluated the effects of simulation on the training and performance of the health care team attending deliveries at a rural community hospital.
