Essential Newborn Care (ENC) is kind of like a basic piece in newborn healthcare, aimed at lowering neonatal morbidity and mortality. Lately, healthcare systems are getting more and more complicated, plus there’s also that need for skilled nursing and medical professionals, so people keep searching for newer training style approaches. Simulation-Based Education (SBE) has turned into a pretty effective teaching strategy, because it lets learners practice essential newborn care in a realistic yet low risk environment, where nothing truly goes wrong, or well, usually not. In this study we examine how simulation based education affects healthcare professionals in terms of knowledge, practical skills, self belief, and decision making related to essential newborn care. To test this, we’re proposing a quantitative research approach with a pre test and post test structure, focusing on nursing students as well as practicing healthcare workers. Based on what the current literature suggests, simulation interventions often lead to clear improvements in clinical performance, neonatal resuscitation capability, communication, teamwork, and even wider patient safety results. So, the overall takeaway is that simulation based education should be built into nursing and medical curricula, to reinforce essential newborn care competencies and, ultimately, support better neonatal health outcomes.
