The Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) training program trains providers in effective resuscitation of infants in developing countries. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the HBB training program on midwives' knowledge and skills in Northern Jordan. Using a nonequivalent control group design, 50 midwives (control, n = 25; experimental, n = 25) from 3 public hospitals in Northern Jordan were recruited and their knowledge and skills were evaluated before and after the training. The program has 3 aspects: 2 hours of teaching, 1 hour of testing, and 25 minutes of skills assessment per participant. The skills were tested individually for each participant, and they were reevaluated at 8 months after. The control and experimental groups significantly differed in posttest scores on knowledge, Objective Structured Clinical Examination A and B skills, and bag-mask application after adjusting for covariates. The HBB training program significantly enhanced knowledge of midwives in the experimental group (P < .05) and demonstrated skills. The HBB training program was helpful in improving midwives' knowledge and practices on immediate care of a newborn baby. Therefore, training midwives using the HBB training program can improve their knowledge and skills and thereby improve infant outcomes in Jordan.
《帮助婴儿呼吸》（HBB）培训项目培训发展中国家的医疗服务提供者如何对婴儿进行有效复苏。本研究评估了 HBB 培训计划对约旦北部的助产士知识和技能的有效性。研究采用非等效对照组设计，从约旦北部的 3 家公立医院招募了 50 名助产士（对照组，n=25；实验组，n=25），并在培训前后评估了他们的知识和技能。该方案包括 3 个方面：2 小时教学、1 小时测试和每位参与者 25 分钟的技能评估。对每个参与者进行单独的技能测试，并在 8 个月后重新评估。调整了协变量后，实验组在知识、客观结构化临床考试 A 和 B 技能以及面罩通气的测试分数上明显高于对照组。HBB 培训方案显著提高了实验组助产士的知识（P<.05），并展示了技能。HBB 培训方案有助于提高约旦助产士对新生儿即时护理的知识和实践。因此，使用 HBB 培训方案培训助产士可以提高他们的知识和技能，从而改善约旦婴儿的结局。
