Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Ante partum hemorrhage is one of the most serious obstetric emergencies and is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. It affects 2-5% of pregnancies. Improving maternity nurse performance is extremely important and will be crucial in controlling blood loss and reducing the risk of maternal morbidity or even death. Aim of the study was to evaluate effect of an educational intervention on maternity nurses’ performance regarding management of late ante partum hemorrhage. Design: A quasiexperimental design was utilized to fulfill the aim of the study. Sample: A convenient sample of a total 64 maternity nurses were included in the present study. Setting: The present study was conducted in obstetrics and gynecology departments at Benha University Hospital. Data were collected through: A structured Interviewing Schedule, knowledge assessment sheet, and an observational checklist. Results indicated that there were highly statistically significant differences (P<.001) pre and post educational intervention regarding total knowledge and practices mean scores of the studied nurses. There were negative statistically significant correlations (P≤.01) between studied nurses, total knowledge, total practices scores and their age and years of experience. The present study concluded that educational intervention had a positive effect on improving knowledge and practices of maternity nurses towards management of late ante hemorrhage. Recommendation: Frequent and schedule In-services training program should be applied for nurses at the hospital regarding management of late ante hemorrhage in order to improve nurses’ knowledge and practices which will be reflected on improving the quality of health care.
