This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training on improving self-efficacy and clinical practices of midwives in providing immediate newborn care. It is a quasi-experimental study conducted among midwives working in healthcare settings to assess the impact of training on their knowledge, confidence, and practical performance in newborn care immediately after delivery.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of simulation-based training on improving self-efficacy and clinical practices of midwives in providing immediate newborn care. Immediate newborn care is a critical component in reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality, and adequate preparation of midwives plays a key role in ensuring safe and effective care.
A quasi-experimental design will be used to conduct this study among midwives working in selected healthcare facilities in Iraq. The participants will be divided into a study group and a control group. The study group will receive structured simulation-based training sessions focused on immediate newborn care, while the control group will continue with routine practice without intervention.
Data will be collected using a validated self-efficacy questionnaire and an observational checklist to assess clinical practices before and after the intervention. Pre- and post-intervention comparisons will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program.
The expected outcome of this study is to improve midwives' self-efficacy and enhance their practical skills in immediate newborn care, ultimately contributing to better neonatal health outcomes.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| intervention group | Experimental | Participants in this group will receive simulation-based training on immediate newborn care. The training includes structured practical sessions using simulation scenarios designed to improve clinical skills, self-efficacy, and performance in newborn care immediately after delivery. |
|
| control group | No Intervention | Participants in this group will continue with routine clinical practice without receiving simulation-based training during the study period. They will not be exposed to the structured training intervention and will serve as a comparison group. |

This is a quasi-experimental study with a parallel group design. Participants will be assigned into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will receive simulation-based training on immediate newborn care, while the control group will continue with routine practice. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in self-efficacy and clinical practice.
