Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Sample group for quantitative data: 1) Newborn: Newborns with respiratory distress and receiving nCPAP within the first 24 hours of admission from the delivery room or transfer from the semi-critical care unit are eligible for nCPAP. This includes: - Premature infants who received nCPAP within 15-30 minutes of birth (early nCPAP) - Full-term infants diagnosed by a physician with respiratory distress, along with at least one clinical symptom (e.g., tachycardia > 60 breaths/minute, nasal flaring, chest retraction, or groaning). 2) Registered Nurse: 1. Work experience at NICU. 2. At least one year of experience caring for newborns using nCPAP. 3. At least one instance of providing nCPAP care to newborns using the provided CNPG. Sample group for qualitative data. Registered Nurse: Experienced in providing nCPAP care for newborns, having used the CNPG at least 7 times.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Newborn: 1. Infants with multiple congenital anomalies or surgical abnormalities requiring urgent surgery, such as diaphragmatic hernia or gastroschisis, are not suitable for nCPAP treatment as a first-line option. 2. Infants with severe or cyanotic congenital heart disease, or those with hemodynamically significant heart abnormalities affecting the circulatory system, such as tetralogy of fallot (TOF) or transposition of the great arteries (TGA), face complex pathologies that make it impractical to assess outcomes using nCPAP alone. 3. Infants whose parents or legal guardians have not given consent for their participation in the research project. Registered Nurse: unwilling to participate in the research project
