Background: Mechanical ventilation plays an important role in reducing neonatal mortality and
morbidity rate. Nurses caring for neonates on ventilator must be competent to provide an effective
nursing care for such group of patients, Effective training program for nurses' will increase their
quality of nursing care and improving health and wellbeing of neonates undergoing mechanical
ventilation. So, the aim of this Study was to evaluate the influence of training program
implementation on nurses' performance regarding neonates invasive mechanical ventilation.
Research Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Study settings: the study conducted at
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Assuit University Children Hospital/Egypt. Research Subject:
Convenient sample was included 59 nurses from the previously mentioned setting and 59 neonates
under invasive mechanical ventilation. Two tools were used for data collection: tool 1;
Predesigned questionnaire consisted of three parts: nurses' demographic characteristics,
demographic and clinical data of neonates and nurses' knowledge about mechanical ventilation.
Tool two; Observational Checklists were used pre and post program implementation Results:
revealed that there was a statistical significant difference between nurses' performance at pretest
and post program regarding the neonates with invasive mechanical ventilation Conclusion:
Training program implementation had a significant effect on nurse's performance regarding the
neonates with invasive mechanical ventilation. Recommendation: implementing the training
program for improvement nurses' performance regarding the neonates with invasive mechanical
ventilation to all nurses in all neonatal intensive care units in Egypt.
