Validation of a novel tool for assessing newborn resuscitation skills among birth attendants trained by the Helping Babies Breathe program.
To validate a simplified objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) tool for evaluating the competency of birth attendants in low-resource countries who have been trained in neonatal resuscitation by the Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) program. ⋯ The simplified OSCE tool could facilitate efficient implementation of national-level HBB programs. Limitations in inter-rater reliability might be improved through additional training.
