Abstract

Context: Venous blood sampling withdrawal is a common invasive procedure performed for neonates at neonatal intensive
care unit. So, neonatal nurses should be trained effectively to prevent unnecessary risk and adverse events for neonates. Aim:
To evaluate the effect of video-assisted teaching on nurses’ performance regarding venous blood sampling withdrawal from
neonates. Methods: The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental research design. Settings: The study was carried
out at the Benha Specialized Pediatric Hospital's NICUs and SNICU (Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) in Benha city.
Sampling: A convenient sample of nurses (70) working in NICUs and SNICU as well as a convenient sample of neonates
(70) from the setting mentioned above, regardless of their personal characteristics. Tools of data collection: The following
three tools were utilized for data collection; Tool 1: A structured interviewing questionnaire designed to assess nurses’
personal characteristics, and nurses' knowledge regarding venous blood sampling withdrawal. Tool 2: An observation
checklist to assess nurses' practice regarding venous blood sampling withdrawal. Tool 3: Nurses' attitude rating scale
regarding venous blood sampling withdrawal. Results: There were highly statistically significant differences between the
studied nurses’ total knowledge and total practice pre and post implementation of the video-assisted teaching intervention.
Also, the majority of the studied nurses had a positive attitude regarding the venous blood sampling withdrawal procedure
post implementation of the video assisted teaching intervention Conclusion: A video-assisted teaching intervention
improved nurses' knowledge, practice, and attitude level towards venous blood sampling withdrawal from neonates.
Recommendation: The study recommended that applying different types of electronic teaching in nursing education is an
efficient method to improve nurses’ knowledge and performance, which reflected competence and safe neonatal care
