This pattern of findings continued over in posttest 2 and posttest 3. Secondly, students‟ mean scores of knowledge, performance, and overall competency increased significantly (p < .001) in the posttest 1 compared to the pretest, but it did not change significantly in posttest 2 or posttest 3 compared to posttest 1. Conclusion: It concluded that using an intervention technique increased awareness of the maternity competency standards among intern students during antenatal care.
