Popis: Introduction: Tracheostomy care in children may be challenging, due to lack of knowledge of health care providers. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge of health care providers who follow patients with tracheostomy and to increase this level with theoretical education and training in a simulation laboratory. Materials and Methods: Volunteer participants were subjected to a theoretical pretest which evaluated their knowledge level for the care, follow-up and treatment of patients with tracheostomy. Then, practical testing with three subheadings evaluating the change of the tracheostomy cannula was applied. After theoretical training and one-on-one practical training given to the participants with a simulation model, theoretical and practical posttests were applied. Results: Fifty-one health care providers from six tertiary pediatric clinics in Istanbul were enrolled in the educational course. Only 6 (11.8%) of them received standardised training programme previously. Regarding the theoretical tests, seven of the 33 questions were indicated as crucial. The knowledge level of the participants based on the crucial questions significantly increased after the training (p value
