Essential Newborn Care Virtual Simulations for Skills Retention in Newborn Care
Findings of this cohort study suggest that the app-based simulations may be effective in supporting the retention of knowledge and skills following ENC training and may contribute to further performance gains for health care professionals in low- and middle-income countries. More clinical and implementation research is needed to explore the impact of virtual simulations on health professionals' clinical practices and neonatal outcomes.
