Abstract

The purpose of this project was to teach postpartum nurses about the many facets of newborn behavior and to help these nurses teach parents to recognize and respond to their newborn's cues, states, and behaviors. The Keys to Caregiving: Self-Instructional Video Series was used to accomplish this goal. Eighteen maternal-child nurses from a large metropolitan health sciences center completed the program. The average pre-test score was 80%; the average post-test score was 94%. Based on the pre- and post-test scores, the results demonstrate an improvement in nurses' knowledge about newborn behavior after completing the Keys to Caregiving program. The responses from staff nurses who completed the program were overwhelmingly positive.
