Sleep is essential for organizing and maturation of the brain in premature infants; it also plays a role in maintaining the natural balance between different nervous centers. Given the role of nurses in neonatal sleep care, this study aimed at assessing the impact of a training program on the nurses' knowledge and performance in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
In this quasi-experimental study which structured into three stages, 35 nurses working in an NICU in Isfahan, Iran, were included. The neonatal sleep training program was in the form of a lecture with questions and answers and then placing posters and booklets in the NICU. The data were collected by a questionnaire for nurses' knowledge and performance assessment which its validity and reliability were determined through content validity and internal consistency, respectively. The nurses' knowledge was assessed via 40 multiple-choice questions before, immediately after, and 1 month after the training program, and their performance was evaluated before and 1 month after intervention using 15 multiple-choice questions. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using the SPSS software version 16.
The results showed that the mean score of nurses' knowledge after training has significantly increased as compared to before training (33.33 (4.4) vs. 19.33 (4.1)) ( < 0.001); however, the score of performance was slightly improved although it did not reveal any significant differences ( = 0.07, 42.6 (7.6) vs. 45.1 (7.8)).
The results indicated that this method of training program could lead to an increase in nurses' knowledge, but it did not significantly improve their performance. It may be due to a low number of training sessions; therefore, it is recommended to implement long-term training programs in this field.
睡眠对于早产儿大脑的组织和成熟至关重要；它在维持不同神经中枢之间的自然平衡方面也发挥着作用。鉴于护士在新生儿睡眠护理中的作用，本研究旨在评估一项培训计划对新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）护士知识和表现的影响。
在这项分为三个阶段的准实验研究中，纳入了伊朗伊斯法罕一家新生儿重症监护病房工作的35名护士。新生儿睡眠培训计划采用讲座并问答的形式，然后在新生儿重症监护病房张贴海报和发放手册。通过一份用于护士知识和表现评估的问卷收集数据，该问卷的效度和信度分别通过内容效度和内部一致性来确定。在培训计划前、培训后即刻以及培训后1个月，通过40道多项选择题评估护士的知识，在干预前和干预后1个月，使用15道多项选择题评估他们的表现。使用SPSS 16版软件对数据进行描述性和推断性统计分析。
结果显示，与培训前相比，培训后护士知识的平均得分显著提高（33.33（4.4）对19.33（4.1））（<0.001）；然而，表现得分虽略有提高，但未显示出任何显著差异（=0.07，42.6（7.6）对45.1（7.8））。
结果表明，这种培训计划方法可导致护士知识增加，但并未显著提高他们的表现。这可能是由于培训课程数量较少；因此，建议在该领域实施长期培训计划。
