Phase I: Of 204 RN's providing neonatal care in community hospitals in east Georgia and who were examined using a standardized test, those from large hospitals (greater than 1,000 live births/year) performed significantly better than those from medium or small hospitals (P less than .05). Also, there was negative correlation between test scores and years of experience in areas of the hospital other than the nursery and percent of employment time currently spent in areas of the hospital other than the nursery. Phase II: An educational program in neonatal nursing was then provided to 48 RN's by the authors and to 12 RN's by peer-instructors. At the end of the course of instruction a posttest was given. Thirteen RN's who received no formal instruction served as a control group. On the posttest, both experimental groups performed significantly better than the control group (P less than .01), but the group taught by the authors scored significantly higher than the group taught by peers (P less than .05). Educational programs taught by RN's from the community hospital staff are not as effective in regional educational programs as instruction by course by developers.
在佐治亚州东部社区医院提供新生儿护理且接受标准化测试的204名注册护士中，来自大型医院（每年活产数超过1000例）的护士表现明显优于中型或小型医院的护士（P小于0.05）。此外，测试分数与在医院除新生儿室以外其他区域的工作年限以及目前在医院除新生儿室以外其他区域花费的工作时间百分比之间呈负相关。第二阶段：作者随后为48名注册护士提供了新生儿护理教育项目，同行教员为12名注册护士提供了该项目。在课程结束时进行了后测。13名未接受正规指导的注册护士作为对照组。在后测中，两个实验组的表现均明显优于对照组（P小于0.01），但由作者授课的组得分明显高于由同行授课的组（P小于0.05）。社区医院工作人员中的注册护士所教授的教育项目在区域教育项目中不如开发者授课有效。
