Summary

Aim: Newborn babies may need to be referred to different centers to receive the care they need. It is important to improve the quality of neonatal transport to reduce infant mortality rates. This study was conducted to examine the effect of the use of transport algorithm and TRIPS (Transport Risk Index of Physiological Stability) on the knowledge level of nurses and physicians working in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Detailed description

The following hypotheses were tested within the scope of the research: H1: Using structured educational interventions that include the "Safe Transport Algorithm" increases the knowledge level of neonatal nurses and physicians regarding neonatal transport. H2: Using structured educational interventions that include the "Transport Physiological Stability Risk Index (TRIPS)" increases the knowledge level of neonatal nurses and physicians regarding neonatal transport.

Conditions

• Neonatal Nursing
• Transportation of Patients
• Newborn

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	As part of the intervention, a 10-step safe transport algorithm developed by researchers and validated by expert opinion, along with TRIPS, was displayed in clinical areas, and verbal training was pro	In this intervention, a 10-step safe transport algorithm developed by researchers and approved by expert opinion was used. In addition, the TRIPS index, which was not used as standard practice at the clinic where the research was conducted, began to be used as part of the intervention.
