The aim of the present study was to evaluate the implementation of helping babies survive (HBS) program to improve newborn care condition in Isfahan, Iran.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n This quasi-experimental study was conducted in the labor and midwifery wards of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Isfahan. Convenience sampling method was used for all healthy newborns who weighed >1500 g. First, the samples were selected for the control group. Then, the Helping Babies Breathe and Essential Care for Every Baby training courses were held over for ward nurses and midwives. Then, the samples of the intervention group were selected. The research tools consisted of demographic characteristic questionnaire, caregiver performance evaluation checklist, and breastfeeding registration checklist. SPSS software version 16 was used for data analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 130 newborns were divided into control (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 65) and intervention groups (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 65). The average time of umbilical cord clamping increased from 13.85 to 61.48 s, and the average duration of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby increased from 11.75 to 60.47 min. The mean of early initiation of breastfeeding improved during the 1\n st<\/jats:sup>\n h and the 1\n st<\/jats:sup>\n day of the birth. The rate of neonatal hypothermia in the intervention group decreased sharply.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n The implementation of the HBS program can positively impact newborn care condition.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jehp.jehp_53_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,23]],"date-time":"2024-04-23T12:47:54Z","timestamp":1713876474000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Evaluating the implementation of helping babies survive program to improve newborn care conditiona"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Atefeh","family":"Jourabian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric and Neonatal Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soheila","family":"Jafari-Mianaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric and Neonatal Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Najmeh D","family":"Ajoodanian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric and Neonatal Nursing, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Nursing and Midwifery Care Research Center, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"R5-20250921","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"701","DOI":"10.11124\/JBISRIR-2017-003535","article-title":"The impact of the Helping Babies Survive program on neonatal outcomes and health provider skills: A systematic review","volume":"16","author":"Dol","year":"2018","journal-title":"JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep"},{"key":"R7-20250921","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1153","DOI":"10.1038\/jp.2017.110","article-title":"Improvements in the delivery of resuscitation and newborn care after Helping Babies Breathe training","volume":"37","author":"Kamath Rayne","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Perinatol"},{"key":"R8-20250921","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-018-2003-y","article-title":"Essential Care for Every Baby: Improving compliance with newborn care practices in rural Nicaragua","volume":"18","author":"Perez","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Pregnancy Childbirth"},{"issue":"5","key":"R9-20250921","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2016-2132","article-title":"Implementation of \u201cHelping Babies Breathe: A 3-year experience in Tanzania","volume":"139","author":"Arlington","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"R10-20250921","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"681","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-016-1924-2","article-title":"Cost analysis of large-scale implementation of the Helpy Babies Breathe\u2019 newborn resuscitation-training program in Tanzania","volume":"16","author":"Chaudhury","year":"2016","journal-title":"MC Health Serv Res"},{"key":"R11-20250921","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"806","DOI":"10.1111\/apa.14706","article-title":"Does the Helping Babies Breathe Programme impact on neonatal resuscitation care practices?
