Table 3 Further examples of behaviour change (Kirkpatrick Level 3 evaluation)

From: A pilot program of knowledge translation and implementation for newborn resuscitation using US Peace Corps Volunteers in rural Madagascar

I used to think that if the baby was born lifeless they were dead. But now I know that that is not always the case

Before I didnt know how to give breaths to the baby

We used to use a straw to give mouth-to-mouth breaths to the baby but now we can use the [self-inflating resuscitation] bag

I can remember being taught how to use a [self-inflating resuscitation] bag in my training but I had forgotten how to do it because we didnt have one in our health centre

We used to hit the babies on the back to help them breathe but now I know how to do it properly

We used to bend the babies legs up to their chest and then push on them to make the baby breathe

Now we delay cutting the cord so that the baby can benefit from getting more blood.
