Neonatal evaluations performed at the very first minutes following postpartum are the most important steps in deciding for neonatal resuscitation. Therefore, the newborn initial care and evaluation notion and skills of midwives in the delivery hall are quite important. The study was planned to determine the effects of simulation education on newborn evaluation and care skills in midwifery students. ⋯ Education programs that are carried out by computer-assisted simulation and in accordance with the teaching guide were effective on improvement of knowledge-skills on newborns' first evaluations in the delivery room.

Reliability, validity and generalizability of multidimensional pain assessment tools used in postoperative adult patients: a systematic review protocol.
The objective of this review is to evaluate the measurement properties of multidimensional pain assessment tools for postoperative pain in adults. ⋯ MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane Trials (CENTRAL) will be searched, as well as ClinicalTrials.gov and multiple gray literature sources. There will be no limitations on publication date. Titles and abstracts will be screened by independent reviewers for inclusion. The full text of selected papers will be retrieved and assessed against the inclusion criteria. Two independent reviewers will assess papers for methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist, and papers with poor scores on relevant items will be excluded. Data will be extracted by two independent reviewers using a standardized data extraction tool. Statistical pooling will be performed, if possible.

A 19-item surgical safety checklist (SSC) was published by the World Health Organization in 2008 and was proved to reduce postoperative complications. To date, however, the impacts of SSC implementation in China have not been evaluated clearly. The study was performed to evaluate the impacts of the SSC on postoperative clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal tumor patients. ⋯ Median of postoperative hospital stay in post-implementation group was shorter than that in pre-implementation group (8 vs 9 days, P < .001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the SSC was an independent factor influencing postoperative complications (odds ratio = 0.860; 95% CI, 0.750-0.988). Implementation of the SSC could improve the clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal tumor patients undergoing elective surgery in China.
