This study aimed to quantify knowledge on neonatal topics among obstetricians and pediatricians participating in a perinatal teaching program aimed at reducing neonatal mortality in Laos.
Obstetricians and pediatricians from Vientiane and the surrounding areas participated in a 1-week teaching program in obstetric and neonatal topics and responded to pre- and posttests questionnaires to quantify their knowledge.
Although questions were predominantly related to neonatal topics, obstetricians performed significantly better than pediatricians during the pretest. Both groups increased their knowledge significantly as quantified by the results of the posttest.
The teaching program was effective in improving knowledge on perinatal mortality related topics of the participants. These results may be related to the fact that most of the obstetricians had participated in a structured teaching program previously, whereas the pediatricians did not. We thus speculate that there is a sustained effect of even a 1-week teaching program in neonatology even several years after the initial teaching.
本研究旨在量化参与旨在降低老挝新生儿死亡率的围产教学项目的产科医生和儿科医生对新生儿相关主题的了解程度。
万象及其周边地区的产科医生和儿科医生参加了为期一周的产科和新生儿主题教学课程，并在课前和课后问卷中回答问题，以量化他们的知识。
尽管问题主要与新生儿相关，但在测试前，产科医生的表现明显优于儿科医生。两组在测试后都显著提高了知识水平。
教学课程有效地提高了参与者对围产儿死亡率相关主题的知识。这些结果可能与以下事实有关，即大多数产科医生之前已经参加过结构化的教学课程，而儿科医生则没有。因此，我们推测，即使是在最初教学几年后，为期一周的新生儿学教学课程也会产生持续的效果。
