<p>The purpose of this study was to survey the occurrence of and obstacles to team training in</p><p>neonatal life support in Swedish hospitals and, accordingly, to compare university hospitals</p><p>with other hospitals. The study included all the managers in 37 pediatric wards who</p><p>participated in telephone interviews with the aid of a questionnaire. The results showed that</p><p>81 % of the Swedish hospitals that have a paediatric ward train the staff in neonatal life</p><p>support. All of the university hospitals and 74 % of the other hospitals are running training in</p><p>some form. The methods of training varied and so did the occurrence of training. All the</p><p>managers thought it was important to train neonatal life support. No statistical significant</p><p>difference occurred between university hospitals and other hospitals concerning the methods</p><p>of training, evaluation of training or in possibilities and obstacles of training. The conclusion</p><p>is that training multidisciplinary teams in neonatal life support is going on in most of the</p><p>Swedish hospitals. The team training in neonatal life support is quite a new method in Sweden</p><p>and several hospitals have started the training this year. One third evaluate their training by</p><p>oral reports, which is twice as often as written reports. A recommendation based on the results</p><p>of this study is that certification for the professionals who are involved in neonatal life support</p><p>should be considered.</p>
