Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the knowledge gained and retained by neonatal nurses following neonate resuscitation program (NRP) course. Material and Method: The study comprised 30 neonatal nurses. A 3-day course was held in the Department of Pediatrics, Medical School, Trakya University. A written test with 80 questions derived from the standard test contained in the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics Neonatal Resuscitation Manual was given to the neonatal nurses before, at the end and six months after the course. Results: The percentages of correct answers significantly improved immediately after the course (% 33,6 +/- 10; % 92,4 +/- 6,1). The percentages at the six months follow-up-course test were significantly reduced as (% 56,2 +/- 12,6) compared to the post-course results, but remained higher with respect to pre-course results. The knowledge gained and retained had increased significantly after the NRP course particularly in the administration of medications and fluids step. Conclusions: These data suggest that a NRP course may be required prior the end of the usual two-year certification period of NRP courses especially one year after the course.
