Hence, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether simulation-based training improves non-physician anesthetists' knowledge and attitude on maternal and neonatal anesthesia cares or not. RESULTS: Out of 50 study subjects, 66% had a working experience of less than 5 years. Knowledge score improved significantly from 49.78 to 66.22% in pretest and posttest results respectively. The posttest result was significantly improved (P < 0.001) for all knowledge questions. The respondents were asked about a negative statement and a positive statement about the need to have effective closed lope communication, maternal resuscitation and neonatal resuscitation.
