Background: In the twenty-first century, Caesarean section is the most frequent operation in obstetrics. Throughout the twentieth century, Caesarean sections have proven to be one of the most efficient abdominal procedures. Over the last three decades, the number of caesarean sections has risen considerably. Around the world, the number of caesarean sections performed is on the rise. From 2003 to 2018, it is more than doubled, reaching a peak of 21% and is growing at a rate of 4% every year. Today’s student nurse will become future nurse, so it’s vital create them competent while providing care to the mothers after lower section caesarean section. Objective: To assess current competencies among students on postnatal care of mothers who underwent lower section caesarean section in study group , to assess the impact of the skill training programme on the competencies of students in focused group & to find out the association between post-test competencies with the demographic variables of students of study group. Methods and Materials: The quasi-experimental with non-equivalent pre-test post-test design study was conducted on 30 students in each of experimental and control group by convenient sampling technique in two nursing institutions at Gurugram, Haryana. Results: Experimental group subjects enhanced the level of knowledge from 11.6 to 17.8 and their skill from 11.7 to 35.5 after implementing the skilled training programme, while the control group showed no improvement. There is a statistically significant transformation between the pre-test and post-test scores. Paired sample ‘t’ test was used to observe differences between pre and post-test mean scores. Students with prior knowledge were more competent, which is statistically noteworthy with a P value of < 0.001. Age, sex, religion, parents' education, and home location are not significant demographic characteristics. The Pearson chi square test was used to determine statistical significance. Conclusion: Skill training not only enhance knowledge in a specific field, but then also clarifies students how to network, accomplish to timeline, and connect efficiently with people. A competent student nurse can become a competent staff nurse by developing skill through effecting skill training program during study period.
Background: Birth companionship is an effective strategy for improving the standard of care offered during labour and delivery. Despite the numerous advantages of labour companionship, it is not widely practiced. Having a labour companion also reduced anxiety about childbirth and mistreatment, such as unnecessary vaginal examinations and poor communication, when compared to not having a labour companion. Methods: In the present study quantitative approach with a post-test-only control group design was adopted. 60 parturient women were enrolled using a Purposive sampling technique. A 3-point Likert scale was used to assess the emotional status of women. The Mode of Delivery, Duration of the First Stage of Labour and APGAR score were used to evaluate labour outcomes. Partograph was used to assess labor outcomes. Result: The result showed significant improvement in emotional status between Control and experiment group. T test was used to compare the emotional status between experimental and control group which was found to be highly significant as p <0.05. The chi square test was used to evaluate the mode of delivery between the two groups and the difference was found to be significant with a p-value of < 0.05. The duration of the first stage of labour and the APGAR score were compared using an independent t test between two groups, which was found to be significant as p <0.05. Conclusion: Implementation of the birth companion-based care module has significantly improved emotional status and labor outcomes.
