It was also criticized by JBI tool. The search keywords were “Readiness Factor” and “Neonatal Resuscitation”. The steps consisted of making questions, identifying, eligibility, article inclusion selection, screening, and appraisal. After 11 relevant articles were collected, they were analyzed in a systematic review.
