The Efficacy of Pedagogical Framework (Learn, See, Practice, Prove, Do, Maintain) on Knowledge, Skill, and Self-Efficacy of Nursing Students Regarding Neonatal Resuscitation.

Globally, nurses are the largest workforce in the healthcare system that are directly engaged in the provision of newborn care. They should be conversant and competent in neonatal resuscitation. However, the majority of nurses are not skillful in the respective field. The situation is not very different when we are talking about nursing students. Who are our future workforce, hence are found incompetent in emergency newborn management and neonatal resuscitation. It is well documented that effective educational programs in preservice settings such as schools of midwifery, nursing, and medicine, established more active forms of lifelong learning to improve the quality of care. While the transformation of theoretical knowledge into clinical practice requires effective teaching in the field of resuscitation is a vital element for all undergraduate students. However, like many other developing countries in Pakistan, mostly traditional methods are following in nursing education. While the traditional method of teaching is insufficient to meet the educational demands of nursing students in clinical practice. Hence, Nursing students often are unprepared and lacking confidence in simple, yet life-saving procedures such as neonatal resuscitation. Therefore, incorporating an effective model and framework in nursing education is needed that could enhance nursing students' skills and improve clinical outcomes. The "Learn, See, Practice, Prove, Do, and Maintain" (LSPPDM) pedagogy is one of such frameworks synthesized after intensely reviewing the literature. This framework is acting as a guiding path for educators in teaching and learning procedural skills. As Knowledge is considering a prerequisite for competence in skill performance and to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program self -efficacy measurement is an important tool. Thus, the important variables knowledge, self-efficacy, and skill have been selected for this study. Thus, the study objective will be:

To compare the knowledge, skill, and self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students learning of neonatal resuscitation through "Learn, See, Practice, Prove, Do, Maintain pedagogy" as compared to those who will learn through the traditional method.

This study will contribute essentially to determine the effectiveness of an adapted pedagogical framework in the teaching and learning of neonatal resuscitation skills, especially in a resource-limited society. Moreover, the study findings will help the organization to develop strategies for improving nursing education.
