Competency‐based training “Helping Mothers Survive: Bleeding after Birth” for providers from central and remote facilities in three countries

Abstract

BAB training in prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage increased knowledge and confidence among skilled and semiskilled birth attendants. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of this training on skills retention and clinical outcomes following postpartum hemorrhage, after broader implementation of the training program.

Effect of a Medium Fidelity Simulation Based Training on Nurses' Knowledge, Performance and Clinical Judgment of Postpartum Hemorrhage Management

“…This results is in line with (24) who reported that before postpartum hemorrhage simulation training, lack of knowledge and skill on management of PPH, delay to transfer the patient to the operating room and a poor communication between different professionals were identified. Post simulation using emergency care simulator, an improvement in participants resuscitation technique, enhancing emergency technical skills, improvement in knowledge, team spirit and structured communication.…”

Effect of Simulation Based Training on Maternity Nurses’ Performance and Self-confidence Regarding Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage Management

“…This results indicates that nurses never attends resuscitation training including basic life supports, restoration of blood volume and restoration of oxygen-carrying capacity for women during their reproductive life. This result is in line with [30] they reported that before postpartum hemorrhage simulation training, lack of knowledge and skill on management of PPH, delay to transfer the patient to the operating room and a poor communication between different professionals were identified. Post simulation using emergency care simulator, an improvement in participant's resuscitation technique, enhancing emergency technical skills, improvement in knowledge, team spirit and structured communication.…”

Retention of skills 2 years after completion of a postpartum hemorrhage simulation training program in rural Rwanda

“…Having skilled attendants present during delivery has been associated with markedly reduced maternal mortality [10]; WHO and other organizations have advocated for years that this is necessary to ensure the safety of pregnant patients during the intrapartum and postpartum periods [11]. The use of simulation‐based training is becoming more common in both high‐ and low‐resource settings for training healthcare providers in maternity care [12], and it is the cornerstone of the new “Helping Mothers Survive: Bleeding After Birth” training that has recently been validated by Jhpiego [13]. Simulation training has been shown to improve management skills and reduce postpartum hemorrhage rates; however, the recognition of postpartum hemorrhage remains poor [14].…”
