The control group used conventional manikins made by Nasco; meanwhile, two newly designed real-size manikins were prepared for the intervention group: the right arm and right leg. Real-size manikins were developed based on the mean of anthropometric measurement of 50 Indonesian infants' arms and legs of healthy term neonates born in Dr Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. The manikins were made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) filament using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. The manufacturing process was carried out by the Medical Physics Department, Universitas Indonesia.
